OUR VIEW

Amanbagh, meaning peaceful garden, lies in a verdant oasis, fed by a nearby lake, and previously the site of the Maharajah of Alwar hunting lodge and pleasure garden. Providing luxury accommodation and spectacular surroundings.

PROPERTY LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

Amanbagh is situated in a secluded oasis of lush vegetation, a 1.5 hour journey east of Jaipur, in Rajasthan. It rests on the site of a gorge head, which leads into a valley flood plain and benefits from both the richness of its rural splendour and its legendary cultural heritage. Amanbagh, built within a walled enclosure, on an oasis of fertile soil, benefits lucratively from the natural feed of a nearby lake, resulting in an exotic and diverse display of perennials: statuesque palms, aged eucalyptus, fruit bearing trees, frangipani trees and lawns of manicured jade green, a dramatic contrast to its neighbouring rugged and hilly terrain. Styled along authentic architectural Moghul-era-lines, Amanbagh pays grand tribute to its remarkable ancestors through its eloquent, unique interpretation of a grand haveli. Amanbagh is a secluded and luxuriant portal, offering visitors the opportunity to discover and explore the fascinating remnants of an extraordinary local history, as well as the colourful culture and wildlife that flourishes today.
