Here, one is transported in to a world of the past, a world of glory and of pride; a world of vibrant colours and spectacular magnificence. Exquisitely carved furniture, delicate hand block prints, original paintings and photographs decorate your rooms, which though redolent with the romance of a bygone era, provide all the most modern amenities. Outside the fort, the small feudal town of Rohet seems to be straight out of the Arabian Nights with its primitive clay plastered huts and pigeon hole shops set up along dust trails. As evening descends upon our hotel, the darkness of the night is lit up by the flickering flames of fire around which the rhythmic movements of the folk dancers assumes shape in brilliant colours; truly an electrifying experience
