AMANBAGH Excursions
Bhangarh Twelve kilometres from Amanbagh, the wonderful, intriguing ruined city of Bhangarh is a medieval site of great archaeological – and folkloric – importance, its splendid ruins widely believed to be haunted. Built in the late 1500s by Jaipur royal Diwan Madho Singh – younger brother of Maharaja Man Singh, Akbar the Great's general – this now uninhabited city once teemed with magnificent bazaars, a palace, gardens, temples and bathing pools. Legend has it that, a generation after its completion, it was deserted overnight after being cursed by an evil court magician, Selu Sewra, who had unsuccessfully attempted to seduce Bhangarh’s virtuous and beautiful queen. Today Bhangarh is a National Heritage Site and though it is often hailed as one of India's top-ten sites, very few tourists manage to include it in their itinerary. Mornings and late afternoons are a perfect time to visit this deserted city – an amazing setting for photography, meditation and yoga. We can organise visits to Bhangarh, either to tour the ruins or to practise yoga on one of the temple platforms at dawn with a vegetarian breakfast. Transport is via car or jeep; alternatively, you could combine trekking with Bhangarh as your final destination. It is also a favourite winter location for lunchtime picnics.
Ajabgarh village, fort, temple and mosque Ajabgarh’s finest attractions are its fort and its old temple. Dedicated to Shri Raghunathji, the temple was built in 1635, and features a 24-pillar open courtyard and a marble façade. This temple once housed idols of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita, bejewelled with precious stones that fell victim to thieves some time ago. The temple and fort were connected by an underground passage originally designed for use by royal ladies so they could enter the temple in complete privacy. The mazaar (mosque) on the way to Ajabgarh was erected in the 17th century in memory of Baba Kapoor Shah. The great Sufi mystic devoted his life to meditation, to Allah and to the welfare of society. His disciples still visit his favourite meditation spot, a small chhatri at the top of a hill, to practise the peaceful art of inner reflection. We can organise excursions to Ajabgarh during the day – on foot, by camel, or in our open-top jeeps. One of our three morning walks takes guests through Ajabgarh village, where they will meet the locals and gain an insight into rural life here. Alternatively, experience Ajabgarh by candlelight over a memorable dinner of Rajasthani fare. Pratapgarh fort and village Pratapgarh is a small village about 40 minutes from Amanbagh, at the foot of the Aravalli hills.
Perched on the edge of the hill, the deserted Pratapgarh fort dates back to the rule of the first Maharaja of Alwar, Pratap Singh, who built this fort in 1775. A high boundary wall was erected around the entire village to protect it from attacks from neighbouring maharajas.
A hike to the fort will reward you with amazing views of the village and surrounding countryside. Explore the old buildings, view the only remaining canon that was used to defend the honour of the king and visit the colourful temple that was part of the fort. We can arrange yoga or meditation here, in an open chamber with a beautiful painted ceiling. On the western side of the village is the famous Radha Swami temple and a small ashram. The temple houses more than 5,000 ancient books and manuscripts, including letters believed to have been written by Maharaja Pratap Singh.
A lively maskeshift market lines the colourful main street of the village; in its older quarters, merchants sit on wide varandas, smoking their hookha pipes, patiently waiting for customers.
Somsagar Lake Reached by a dramatic walk through a narrow gorge, Somsagar Lake was built in 1598 at the time of Emperor Akbar’s visit to Ajabgarh, its purpose to provide a watering hole for the surrounding wildlife and birds. Huge blocks of marble have been polished over the centuries by villagers and cattle accessing the lake and valley above. A shrine believed to have been built at the time of the lake’s creation still stands. Sagar ki Bahu, meaning ‘the lake’s bride’, was established as a reminder of the Hindu belief of life in all forms and the emphasis on awareness of the link between man and nature.
We organise guided walks that can culminate in meditation and yoga and/or breakfast next to the lake. A relatively easy walk, it takes approximately 45 minutes to reach the lake from Amanbagh. One of our favourite treks continues past Somasagar, crossing through the valley to the traditional Meena village of Kala Para where a jeep will collect you for the return trip. The complete journey takes approximately 3.5 hours and is comfortable for an average level of fitness. Sturdy walking shoes, sensible clothes and a sunhat are essential.
The King’s Throne
One of our more unusual discoveries is the stone throne carved out of the rockface on a hillside just behind Amanbagh. According to our neighbours, this throne was used in the late 19th/early 20th century by the Maharaja of Alwar on his tiger-hunting expeditions in the area.
We’re not sure you can call it hunting, but apparently the Maharaja’s servants would tether a goat in the clearing while he sat on his throne, gun in hand, waiting for tigers and leopards to creep down the cliff faces in search of their prey.
Our neighbours allow us to walk up through their small village then through the valley before a short climb up to the stone throne. You can walk there with a guide from the hotel, or you can travel part way by jeep and walk the remainder of the way through the fields and forest.
The King’s Throne is one of our regular early-morning complimentary walking routes. Khushi, our young, enthusiastic trekking assistant, lives in this small hamlet with his extended family. He and his family will be happy to give you an insight into local farming life.
This is an easy stroll, apart from the final scramble up the rocky ridge to sit on the King’s Throne. The return walking time from Amanbagh is around two hours. Do wear sensible shoes and don’t forget sun protection. Cow dust tour An all-time favourite with Amanbagh guests, this tour is a great way to experience rural Rajasthan. Head out in one of our jeeps for a tour of the surrounding villages during peak hour – the time of the afternoon when our neighbours herd their goats, cows and buffalos home after a day’s grazing. The locals will wave and the children will run after the car and you may even be invited for chai in one of their homes. We openly encourage you to communicate and have chai with our local village friends – for many, it is a profound and inspiring experience. We recommend this late-afternoon excursion any time of the year. Don’t forget your camera and please don’t demean our neighbours by offering them anything other than your warm smiles and genuine respect. They consider you an honoured guest of their village. You are welcome to support our neighbours by way of a donation back at Amanbagh. Your Personal Managers can provide you with more details about our community programmes.
This tour can also take place at sunrise, when the world wakes up. You will smell the cooking fires being lit, see the goats coming out of their overnight shelters, and watch children pumping water from the village wells – often taking a very cold alfresco shower. Twilight cocktails and dining under the stars Discover the perfect spot to enjoy twilight cocktails or a romantic dinner with a loved one or to celebrate a special occasion with family and friends. Dinner under the stars can take on many different forms at Amanbagh – a rooftop chhatri, a private pool pavilion, a terrace or an all-white evening on the polo lawn. Allow us to create a memorable experience.
Picnics and off-site dining experiences The cooler temperatures in winter and late autumn are ideal for daytime outings. Lazing on cushions in a historic chhatri overlooking the Ajabgarh valley, or under a banyan tree on the lawns of Bhangarh, are all options that you may like to try during your Amanbagh visit. Your Personal Managers will help you decide on the location, then leave the rest to us. Sit back, relax and know that you are reliving a part of history as you dine or picnic in style.
Evenings at Amanbagh and in the Ajabgarh valley are magical, especially if you are fortunate enough to be staying with us around the full moon. A truly memorable way to experience rural Rajasthan by night is to dine alfresco in the valley – we have a number of locations to choose from. With hundreds of flickering candles and diyas to light the evening, the wafting sounds of a flute player and a personal chef from Amanbagh to cook for you, we promise you an unforgettable evening of regal splendour. On cooler evenings, we transform our rooftop chhatri for private dining.
Jhilmil Bada Transport yourself to the outdoor feasting of royal hunting parties of old at Jhilmil Bada. This clearing, reached by a short walk through the bushes, is where guests can watch the chefs in action, preparing local Indian flavours the traditional way using clay open-fire ovens and traditional barbeque grills.
The inspiration behind Jhilmil Bada dates back to the 19th century, when the dense jungles of Sariska provided abundant game for lavish royal hunting expeditions. A bada, or cleared patch of land, was where the royal cooks would create a feast out of the hunt, spit-roasting meat basted in ghee, and baking millet flatbreads over an open fire, along with vegetables and roots. Yogurt or buttermilk was used predominantly as a preservative and a tenderiser.
Gwaadi Within Amanbagh's organic garden, the gwaadi – 'village house' – is a venue constructed using traditional methods, with earth walls and an open fire. During the day, guests can visit the garden and watch as the chef transforms a variety of fresh produce such as herbs, lettuce and seasonal vegetables into delicious dishes. During the evening, savour the cuisine from diverse regions of Rajasthan such as Mewar, Marwar, Nagaur, all to a live soundtrack provided by local musicians.
Narayani Mata temple With its history dating back to 1058 AD, the temple of Narayani Mata is as sacred to the people of Rajasthan as Pushkar or Ramdeora. It is located 14 kilometres from Amanbagh, on the edge of Sariska National Park.
Legend has it that Narayani Mata is the site of the first sati in northern India – the Hindu practice in which a widow throws herself on her husband's funeral pyre. The story goes that Narayani and her new husband were returning to their village. While resting in the shade of a banyan tree, her husband was fatally bitten by a snake. As the cremation was taking place at this fateful site, Narayani, already renowned for displaying supernatural powers, chose to sacrifice herself, taking her husband’s head in her lap and asking the villagers whether she could be of any help. The villagers wished for water, which miraculously sprang from the ground and continues to flow to this day. Sparked by her prayers, the funeral pyre ignited and consumed them both. Narayani, of the Barber caste, became one of the oldest known and most revered sati, one with the power of truth.
Amanbagh guests can travel by jeep or car to Narayana Mata to witness the evening ritual in which a Meena tribal priest conducts the aarti (song prayers). With bells and gongs resounding, it can be an intense experience.
Jhaki Excursion in Gola Ka Bash A visit to India is incomplete without experiencing the exceptional talent found in the alleys of rural India. We are fortunate to be located amongst extremely talented people in the neighboring villages. Witness the craftsmanship that goes behind the Indian footwear that adorns every market in India, the precision of patterns in the carpets they weave, the detailing in sculpting the awe-inspiring marble sculptures, the accuracy of their indigenous equipment and the most judicious use for limited resources.
Celebration of love Love is highly celebrated in India and anniversary celebrations play a vital role in the relationship of any couple.
The language of love and romance is the same, regardless of age or heritage, it has no boundaries and spans all countries, religions and cultures.
Chitta-Moksha blessing Chitta Moksa literally translates to “liberation of mind from internal and external stimulus”. Periodic cleansing of the mind and grounding body and spirit through a simple blessing ceremony is part of Indian culture. This helps to calm the mind and enhance sensual and creative thinking. Join our inhouse holy man for this traditional ritual.
The temple town of Neelkanth Neelkanth, meaning the blue-throated reincarnation of Lord Shiva, is located on the edge of Sariska National Park, 45 minutes from Amanbagh, on the same road to Alwar as Narayani Mata. It lies on a plateau high in the hills, and the view as one climbs up the final stretch of road is spectacular. Encircled by mountains, this hidden, ancient temple town is home to the ruins of more than 80 beautifully carved temples dating back to the 6th century – though Neelkanthteshwar, its most famous temple, predates even these. Exquisitely carved, it is among India’s finest; the energy within the sanctum is tangible.
Neelkanth also holds the remains of the 7th-century Jain temple of Naugaza, presided over by a 25-foot- tall, pink-sandstone statue of Shri Parshavanath-ji – the 23rd Jain Tirthankara.
We suggest combining an excursion to Neelkanth with a visit to Narayani Mata. Alternatively, you may like to stretch your legs and trek to Neelkanth from the village of Kishori on the same side of the hill. This trek requires a good level of fitness and takes approximately 1.5 hours. Chilled towels and cold drinks will welcome you at the end of your trek, and we will bring you back to Amanbagh by road.
Gwara Cycling Gwara is the local name for a small village and at Amanbagh we are lucky enough to have almost 20 small villages and hamlets scattered around. Cycling is an enchanting way of soaking in the atmosphere of gwara (village) life, and to reach into the soul of rural Rajasthan. The people are so friendly, and the villagers’ faces fill with smiles as they marvel at the sight of you and they are happy for you to take their photo. You may even want to email us the photos and we can print and distribute it in the village.
The pace of gwara life is timeless, but behind the serene exterior of the traditional dwellings lies much industry. You may come across someone making pottery, a tobacco farm, a barber shop, a carpet maker, a school, men playing cards or smoking their hooka pipes or simply a group of children playing. Make this a truly memorable experience by joining a family in their home for breakfast.
Mansarovar Lake (seasonal) At the foot of the dirt road leading up to Neelkanth, 40 minutes from Amanbagh, Mansarovar Lake becomes a birdwatcher’s paradise from October to February, when the many species of local birds are joined by migratory birds from Europe. Mansarovar means ‘made by Shiva’ and, like its more famous namesake in the Himalayas, is reputed to bestow beauty and youth on anyone who bathes in it.
Transfers are organised by jeep and car. We recommend you go in the early morning or late afternoon to observe the great variety of birdlife. Our resident naturalist, Sita Ram, is an expert in identifying not only our feathered friends, but also the rich variety of flora and fauna native to our area Sariska Tiger Reserve Sariska Tiger Reserve covers an area of 765 square kilometres. The nearest entrance to Sariska is 45 minutes from Amanbagh, near the turn off to Neelkanth. Sariska was once the personal hunting ground of the Maharaja of Alwar. Today a sanctuary for endangered tigers, it is also home to panthers, wildcats, caracals, nilgai, chital, sambar deer, wild boars, jackals, and langur and macaque monkeys. Since 2008, 11 tigers (four males, seven females), have been relocated to Sariska from Ranthambore National Park as part of a government- sponsored tiger rehabilitation project. It is planned that more tigers will be moved once these have settled in and that they will form the nucleus of a new breeding programme. Currently there are 17 tigers in the sanctuary.
Early morning or late afternoon is the ideal time of day to embark on a wildlife safari. We suggest combining an excursion to Sariska with a visit to the temple town of Neelkanth along with a picnic lunch. The park is closed annually from June to September. Abhaneri Stepwell About 65 kilometres from Amanbagh is a magnificent baori (step-well), believed to be one of the oldest in Rajasthan. Almost 20 metres in depth and revealing 13 levels of steps, it was built by Raja Chand in the 11th century. There is also a collection of exquisitely carved statues collected from the adjacent Harshad Mata temple.
The drive to Abhaneri takes you through the old town of Bandikui, which, during British rule, was the largest railway junction in all of North India. Allow four to five hours for the round trip by car, returning via Dausa, and including a picnic lunch. This experience can also be combined with a trip to Agra.
Virat Nagar – a magical experience Virat Nagar and its various sites are an hour away towards the Delhi-Jaipur highway. Once known as the Matsya Janapada, this region is one of the oldest in the recorded history of Rajasthan.
Paanch Khand Hanuman Mandir This temple will be your first stop. It was constructed around 70 years ago after Lord Hanuman appeared in a dream to Shri Ramchandra Veer, a venerable local holy man, asking him to construct a temple. Today the holy man is thought to be more than 100 years old and is a very knowledgeable person. The hill on which the temple stands is also home to the Ashoka Shila Lekh (Ashoka Edicts), which were etched onto rock in Prakrit script, when Ashoka defeated Kaling in 260 BC.
Bheem Gufa It was in this area that the five Pandava brothers, who were forces of good against evil in the Mahabharata, disguised themselves and sought employment during their last year of exile. You will see the Bheem Lata Kund, a pond that Bheem, the second of the Pandavas, created by hitting a big rock with his foot. During their exile period, the Pandavas used to meditate on this hill, secluded from the city of Virat Nagar. The hill was later named after Bheem as Bheem Gufa.
The Mughal chhatri This chhatri was constructed by Raja Man Singh of Amer towards the end of the 15th century to welcome the Mughal Emperor, Akbar. Akbar used the chhatri to rest when he came here for hunting. It also holds the remains of Mughal and Rajput-style paintings.
The Jain temple and Bijak Ki Pahari Constructed during the period of the Mahabharata, the Jain temple holds the statue of the 23rd Jain Tirthankar Bhagwan Parshwanath. Bijak Ki Pahari, a Buddhist chaitya (chapel) dating from 3rd Century BC, is the earliest known freestanding structure in India. Twenty-four wooden pillars once rose from its circular base. The Archaeological Survey of India considers this to be the place where Ashoka adopted Buddhism after the war against Kaling.
The Ganesha Temple This temple lies on a hill that actually resembles the form of Lord Ganesha. In the local Hindu community it is customary for couples to visit this temple to invite Lord Ganesha to bless them both before and after their marriage ceremony. Near the temple is a museum, operated by Archaeological Survey of India, displaying coins, pottery, statues, weapons and edicts of the reigns of Ashoka and Pandava.
You may also like to visit the Bal Ashram, an orphanage for abandoned children and rescued child labourers, located in this area. You will be rapidly surrounded by happy and curious children who live in this well-run retreat.
This trip can be best combined en route to or from Delhi with a stopover at Virat Nagar for a couple of hours.
Other activities
Camel rides There is a story that when the Creator made all the animals he had spare parts left over; he put them together and created a unique animal – the camel. They might look ungainly getting to their feet, but camels offer an excellent way to take in the scenery at an easy pace. And if you would prefer not to travel for a long distance on this ‘ship of the desert’, one of our jeeps will collect you and bring you back to Amanbagh. Our camel drivers walk alongside the camels at all times so you can feel quite safe despite the swaying gait.
We also have a camel cart, ideal for children, which can provide rides around the grounds or a family excursion on the back roads behind Amanbagh. Camel Polo Enjoy the perfect introduction to the world’s grandest and arguably most entertaining sport.

In this exceptional adaptation to the age-old game, the camel, the ‘ship of the desert’, replaces the graceful horse. No previous equestrian (or Camel riding) experience is required! You will learn the basics of polo before you put your new skills to the test in a competitive match.

If you would like to spend a few hours mastering the intricacies of spices, masalas and Indian dishes we will be happy to arrange a walk to our organic garden along with our chefs, where you can pick your own vegetables, herbs and greens. The chef will help you create a dish to be enjoyed later at our exclusive cooking and private-dining venue, the gwaadi.

An early departure from Amanbagh means shorter travelling time and we will provide you with a picnic breakfast and lunch, with hot tea and coffee.
