Neemrana Fort Palace

Neemrana Fort Palace is a 15th-century heritage fort located in the Aravalli hills of Rajasthan, approximately midway between Delhi and Jaipur. Built in 1464 by Raja Dup Raj Chauhan, it served as the third capital of the descendants of Maharaja Prithviraj Chauhan III. The fort has been restored and converted into a heritage resort while remaining open to day visitors. It features multiple palace wings, stepwells, pools, and offers activities such as ziplining and vintage car rides.

Visitors can explore the multi-level fort complex spanning 14 levels with nine palace wings built over centuries. The fort offers panoramic views of the surrounding Aravalli hills and countryside. Day visitors can tour the historic structures, visit the ancient baori stepwell, enjoy lunch at the property, and participate in activities like ziplining across the fort walls. The property features hanging gardens, swimming pools, and an amphitheatre. Guests can experience heritage architecture with a mix of traditional Indian and colonial elements.

Built in 1464 by Raja Dup Raj Chauhan of the Chauhan dynasty, the fort became the third capital of the descendants of Maharaja Prithviraj Chauhan III after his defeat by Mohammad Ghouri. The fort remained under Rajput rule and served as a strategic stronghold. It fell into disrepair over centuries before being acquired and restored starting in 1986.

The fort represents a significant heritage restoration project in India, demonstrating the conservation and adaptive reuse of historical structures. It showcases Rajput architecture and has become synonymous with heritage hospitality in India. The property has hosted cultural events including the International Festival of Indian Literature.
