The property functions primarily as a heritage hotel where guests can experience Rajasthani hospitality, enjoy horse safaris through tribal areas, visit the museum, participate in bird watching, and dine on authentic Rajasthani cuisine. Day visitors may tour the fort grounds and appreciate its historical significance.

Built in 1711 when the estate of Bambora was granted as a thikana to Kunwar Samant Singh, a noble loyal to the Maharana of Udaipur. The fort served as a strategic military outpost for the Sisodia Rajputs of Mewar, protecting the perimeter against invasions. It represents the martial heritage and defensive architecture of the Rajput era in Rajasthan.

The fort exemplifies Rajput architectural traditions and the Sisodia dynasty's commitment to defending Mewar. Now preserved as a heritage property, it maintains the cultural legacy of Rajput hospitality and aristocratic lifestyle while serving as a bridge between historical preservation and modern tourism.
