Welcome To Rohit Garh Fort With a great sense of pride and pleasure I introduce Rohet Garh – our ancestral home since 1622 AD. Bestowed upon the first amongst our kin Thakur Dalpat Singh I for his exemplary courage and bravery in numerous military campaigns under the banner of the Rathores, Rohet became one of the most important Jagirs (fiefdoms) of the state of Marwar. Today Rohet Garh is a leading Heritage Hotel, where the experience goes far beyond the high walls of the Garh (Fort). It is home first and Hotel after… And you - our honored guests.
LOCATION
ACCOMMODATION Thirty-four beautifully appointed air-conditioned rooms are the pride of the property. Each room is unique, boasting of its own special feature, all the while being welcoming and intimate. The frescoes set the rooms apart from the ordinary, and the furniture, designed in-house in traditional hues, is of the highest quality. All rooms have attached modern bathrooms, which are spotlessly clean and tastefully adorned.
Other Facilities include:
SAFARI Today the 'Rohet Safaris' brand has become synonymous with authenticity and quality. It stands proud as a classic example of responsible tourism in a remote rural part of western Rajasthan, ensuring that the rich and vibrant culture of the region and the age-old values stay intact, by instilling a sense of pride amongst the people, as well as sharing the profits of tourism with a large chunk of society by promoting local crafts, organizing medical camps, or helping schools to build their infrastructure. As for our guests-the Safari simply becomes the highlight of their India tour! We are proud of the fact that we are often able to change our guest's conceptions or misconceptions of India in just two hours! Thus we become active ambassadors of the country by showcasing that which is traditionally old and beautiful - an honest simplicity that touches one's heart, and an underlying sense of spirituality and peace, which becomes the core of our philosophy. We bring to our guests the true, unspoilt India, which lies dormant under the heavy weight of the modern material world and its influences
The Village Safari Rohet Safari's" premier product. Pioneered by us seventeen years ago, this program still remains our main highlight. Showcasing the best of the land, it is a complete cultural experience, which encompasses all that this region has to offer. From the warm and hospitable people, to the various customs and ceremonies and the abundant wildlife, guests have the rare privilege of being welcomed into people's homes and interacting with them. They get to experience and understand a way of life that takes them closer to their roots.
They meet the 'Premier ecologists of the world', the Bishnoi, who have protected nature for more than 500 years and are responsible for the very survival of species like the Black Buck antelope (India's most beautiful antelope and a rare and protected species today). They share a beautiful relationship with this special animal, wherein the antelope stays close to Bishnoi habitation, never leaving it, and displays complete trust in the Bishnoi people. Guests also meet the Raikas (shepherds) with their glorious costumes, and the Paliwals and Meghwals, the Brahmin farmers and weavers respectively Bird-watching The winter months attract a vast variety of birds into the region, where in a good year upto 200 different species can easily be sighted. The numerous lakes and Jheels around Rohet are a haven for birds. A bicycle, a bird book, a bottle of water, a pair of binoculars, packed breakfast, accompanied by an escort is all that a true bird-lover needs
The Marwari Horse Today Rohet Garh boasts of one of the finest stables of the Marwari horse in the country. This horse's sensitive but honest disposition and its beautiful, free-flowing gait make it a delight to ride. The owner himself beautifully schools the horses at Rohet Garh. And by offering riding to our guests, we present a special opportunity to the intrepid horseman to experience and cherish this beautiful horse.
ohet Garh is proud to introduce an extensive tailor-made equestrian program ranging from a full day's riding to a six days'/six nights' riding safari exploring the region of western Rajasthan around Rohet. Apart from offering a superb riding experience on beautiful horses, it is also a great cultural experience, which gives a deep insight into the rich culture and traditions of this region of Marwar, as well as offering great game- viewing opportunities. (The reaction of antelopes and other animals in the wild is altogether different when approached on horseback!) This region of western Rajasthan makes for almost perfect riding country with its semi-arid shrub and bush vegetation, wide, open spaces and soft terrain. All itineraries are carefully selected so that riding on tarmac roads is totally eliminated. Passing through delightful small villages and Dhanis (settlements), and with the family's special relationship with the local village people, our guests have the unique opportunity to access every village and home they pass, and experience the legendary hospitality and warmth of the people of Marwar. It makes an almost overwhelming cultural experience. The itineraries are tailor-made to the requirement of our guests, keeping riding ability and time duration in mind. Overnight accommodation provided during the rides is mostly in luxury tents! The tents are furnished with two full-sized beds, luggage stands, lounge chairs and tables, with a change of sheets and towels every day. The attached bathrooms are special, as there is running water, with flushable toilets, regular washbasins, and showers! All this in a mobile camp! Our own 'Wilderness Camp' luxury tents are also used in all our riding programs, apart from that, two charming heritage properties-Fort Chanwa, Luni and Sardar Samand Palace, Pali-are a perfect day's ride from Rohet Garh.
