Rohet Garh,
P.O. Rohet, Distt. Pali-306421.
Rohet Garh is the fortified desert home of the descendants of
the 16th century Champawat clan of the Rathores. It is located
40 kms away from Jodhpur. The colorful arched gateway leads to
a compound into which the rooms open. The large spacious rooms
are tastefully done up with carved furniture, delicate
handblock prints, original paintings and momentous of a bygone
era. The dining-hall has a large collection of antique hunting
riffles, shields, spearheads, daggers, tigerskins and trophies
giving a glimpse into the romantic past when the aristocrats
took their hunting very seriously and often centered their
lives around their interests.
Special features: A visit to Rohet Garh can also mean
an introduction to the life-style of a typical Rajasthani
village. Visitors can visit and witness the traditional
ceremonies of a Bishnoi village. Camping and encounters with
blackbucks are usual features here.
Facilities available: 25 rooms with running hot/cold
water. Indian meals available.
