This picturesque property, equidistant between and Jaipur and Udaipur, is an ideal stopover for 2 to 4 nights. The property is the former summer residence of the rulers of Shapura and consists of five suites and four beautifully appointed double rooms offering very comfortable facilities and excellent service. This is a tranquil and pleasant place to stay between the busy cultural centres of Rhajastan or combines well with a tiger safari in Ranthambore.
The Shapura region has a rich varied landscape dotted with many man-made lakes, quaint villages and friendly innocent people un-spoilt by modernity. Long warm days in the sun are standard fare. The lakes hold abundant birdlife. There is a plethora of things to do and most leave wishing they had spent more time at this charming place.Rooms
