Jambughoda Palace

Jambughoda Palace is a heritage palace and hotel located in Jambughoda town in Panchmahal district, Gujarat. Built in the early 20th century as the residence of the rulers of the former princely state of Jambughoda, it exemplifies colonial-influenced princely architecture with arched verandas, courtyards and landscaped gardens. Now operated as a heritage hotel, it is notable for its preserved interiors, proximity to Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary and its role in showcasing the region's princely history.

The complex includes the main palace building with verandas, courtyards, period furniture and photographs, along with lawns and outdoor seating areas. Guests staying overnight can explore the interiors and grounds, while day visitors by permission can view the exterior architecture and gardens.

Built in the early 20th century as the royal residence of the Thakore Sahib of Jambughoda, a former princely state in the Rewa Kantha Agency under British India. The palace reflects the transition from traditional princely dwellings to colonial-influenced architecture and was later converted into a heritage hotel to preserve its historical character.

Represents the princely heritage of central Gujarat and serves as a cultural landmark for the region, showcasing local royal traditions, architecture and hospitality. It is closely associated with the forested Jambughoda area and is often visited as part of cultural and nature tourism circuits including nearby tribal villages and the wildlife sanctuary.
