Ramathra Fort

The Maharaja of Karauli built the imposing 350-year-old battlements of Ramathra Fort on the crown of a hill in the heart of the Rajasthani countryside between Agra and Ranthambore. A stay at this partially restored and homely property is a supremely peaceful and relaxing experience that offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture of rural Rajasthan.

Included in the cost of your stay are several excursions organised by Ramathra’s warm and friendly staff. Some highlights include village walking tours, hiking to an abandoned fort, and rowing across Kalisil Lake. Ramathra also offers cooking demonstrations, bird watching, and jungle safaris. Facilities include massage treatment rooms, a library, a well-stocked bar, and a fantastic outdoor Jacuzzi on the ramparts.

Accommodation is in six attractively decorated rooms within the fort and six luxurious Rajasthani-style tents pitched on the courtyard lawn. Prospective guests should know there is no television signal at Ramathra, mobile reception is poor, and reaching the property involves negotiating a long, bumpy road. That being said, if you yearn to discover an India that is truly off the beaten track, we are confident that you will find the stunning views, warm hospitality, and rural excursions at Ramathra Fort extremely rewarding.
