Situated on the edge of the Great Thar Desert, just south of Jodhpur, this lovely, family run fort is an ideal choice for those wanting to stay outside the city, in a rural environment. Very much a family concern, it is an extremely friendly place with rooms scattered around the premises and facing onto the gardens or overlooking the lake. The rooms all vary in shape and size and have been prettily decorated in Rajasthani fabrics and with varied colour themes. A glistening swimming pool occupies one of the courtyards, overlooked by the open-sided dining room and gorgeous upstairs, tented dining terrace. Throughout the premises there are peaceful gardens and courtyards for quiet contemplation. Alternatively, the stunning roof terrace overlooking the lake is the perfect place to sit and sip a drink in the evenings or to rest on comfortable mattresses during the daytime. The family are highly respected locally and are lovers of nature and the great outdoors and will take you out to visit the desert villages and farming communities. They are also keen horsemen and Rohet offers some of the best riding safaris and horses in Rajasthan. Similarly, the grand, desert picnics they arrange are second to none. This is a place of great charm and character, steeped in family history. This 375 year old fortified desert home lies on the banks of a small lake which teems with birdlife.  The accommodation comprises 29 rooms and 6 suites. Of these, 15 are twin, 14 double and 2 single rooms. Certain rooms have views of the swimming pool, lake or horse paddocks. All rooms are air-conditioned and have overhead fans, hairdryers, telephones, internet access and ensuite bathrooms.
