Jodhpur,
the erstwhile capital of the kingdom of Marwar,
Rajasthan's largest princely state, a city awash in hues
of blue, dominated by the large, imposing and
wonderfully preserved Meherangarh Fort that towers over
the alternately sleepy and bustling city with its
winding roads and teeming markets, is a popular
destination for good reason. A
mere 5 kilometres north of the city limits of Jodhpur,
on the Mandore Road, is the Balsamand Garden Retreat, a
series of charming rooms laid in a row with individual
sit-outs overlooking an expanse of manicured lawns and
exquisitely tended gardens. |

|
|
| At
the far end of the same property is the Balsamand Lake,
overlooking which is the Balasamand Lake Palace, the erstwhile
summer retreat of the Jodhpur Maharajahs. What is now the
Garden Retreat served as accommodation for the royal retinue.
This old royal
summer residence has now been fitted with all modern amenities
which however does not take away from the old world charm of
the property. |

Accommodation
There are
26 rooms in a row, each with individual sit-outs,
overlooking the lush lawns and gardens. The rooms
are charming and well-appointed affording complete
privacy and yet just a step away from the many
activities on offer on this sprawling estate.
