WelcomHeritage Mohangarh Fort

I spent two nights at Mohangarh Fort, which is an oasis of calm and luxury within an hour's drive of Jaiselmer. From the moment of arrival, when you are greeted by an extended drum roll from one of the staff members and a refreshing drink, you are treated with every courtesy and excellent service. The grounds are beautiful, with colourful planting and a large pool, set against the background of the honey-coloured stonework of the fort building. You are free to explore the turrets, walls and rooms containing historical artefacts. We were told however that we were not allowed to walk outside of the hotel grounds as the hotel is in a border area with a military presence - and that the village does not have anything to offer the tourist! Our room had exposed stone walls and traditionally-styled furniture, as well as a large bathroom with reliable hot water and good toiletries. The room had a/c and fans but we did not need to use these. The restaurant service in the evening was outdoors, the magical setting enhanced by a myriald of lights and live traditional music, played from a platform which was about 20m from the nearest table, so easy to appreciate without being intrusive. The food served in the restaurant was very good and the breakfast buffet offered all the standard fare with eggs and parathas etc prepared to order. Fresh coffee was not available, so typical of hotels in India, even those at the upper end of the market! The hotel did not have ***y guests, which I think reflects it location and certainly not the quality of the hotel itself. It is a little distant from Jaiselmer, which is the nearest major tourist site, but I think it s the perfect place to stay for leaving Jaiselmer behind and wanting somewhere quiet and luxurious nearby before embarking on the next leg of a journey towards Bikaner or Jaipur. it is certainly a worthwhile diversion! The road northeast of Mohangarh follows the Indira Gandhi Canal through pristine desert scenery, an unexpected highlight of our roadtrip. So, if you want some elegance and luxury in proximity to Jaiselmer, do not hesitate!

Very nice and hospitable staff. Clean rooms and great ambiance We enjoyed sunrise and sunset from the hotel. The hotel is built with sandstone. It really shines like gold during sunrise We stayed for 2 nights. The rooms were cool though it was hot outside

Vasant and Mohan were excellent they went above and beyond for everything. They went out there way to get us Holi colors and always had a positive attitude. Had a blast at the hotel everything was wonderful I highly recommend this Hotel! Also the pool is sweet!

The housekeeping people,reception, the foid quality, service courtesy are excellent,,if I get a chance to revisit jaisalmer I will definitely stay here... the warmth of the staff was very homely.. the place felt like a home away from home

This place is a haven of peace and tranquility, the hospitality is top-notch, rooms are spacious and comfortable. We had a memorable time here with our friends, the food was delicious and served with warmth. It may be far from Jaisalmer, but after we enter the property all worries fall away and we are transported to a quieter realm. We will definitely recommend to others.

Clean rooms, great amenities and a comfortable stay overall. Food quality was very good. Our host Prashant helped us with all our dining needs. He was polite, attentive and took good care of us. Nice area to walk, relax and chill. Negatives The restaurant area had a lot of flies.

Great property and amazing service! Specially by Prashant - he really took great care of our family. Property is stellar and very well maintained. Great for family and couples for quiet and comfortable experience. I recommend highly. Thanks !!

An oasis in the desert a 45 minute drive from Jaisalmeer don’t let them put you off. Opportunity to pamper yourself. We arrived during the quiet season, but the weather in February March is perfect around here, not too hot but blue skies every day. The hotel is a late period maharajahs fort and is original in every respect, including the beautiful gardens. It also has an absolute lovely swimming pool. The rooms are very comfortable and we had a great night sleep for the two days. We stayed here. In the evenings, there is traditional food, and Rajasthan hospitality, including a troop of musicians. Other than the very high-end hotels Jaimy hasn’t got much to offer in terms of luxury, mid Rachel hotels, and this place fits the Bill perfectly, and the chances are off-season. Is that almost have the place to yourselves, which we did for all evening! It was absolutely magical, I highly recommend it .

Excellent staff and polite behaviour. Superb rooms. Very neat and clean. Amazing views all around. Special thanks to Rajesh ji for a wonderful experience. Also special mention to Prasanta for warm hospitality. The food was delicious and tasted like homemade food! We will be back soon.
