During our recent tour of Rajasthan, we stayed at the Alsisar Mahal and were overjoyed by the whole experience of a memorable stay. The Mahal transports you back to an era right out of history textbooks. The rural setting and a majestic palace with a backdrop of sandy plains, the venue for an eclectic musical extravaganza. The rooms are, indeed, "palatial" and the highlight is the uninterrupted sunset and sunrise views. Very few places offer a clear view of both, and Alsisar Mahal is one of those. Food is amazing and to the taste of a varied group of clientele. Badal Mahal and high tea at the Badal Mahal are mentionworthy.
