Ramthara Fort

Excellent location - remote and quiet after the noise of the cities Good food - freshly prepared Room was very comfortable and soacious with a great view All the staff were friendly and helpful The sunset boat trip on the lake was stunning with good views of the sun setting, birds, and even a crocodile in the distance The walking visit to the local village gave us a picture of rural life - all those in the village we were intoruced to were friendly and welcoming and wanted us to take their pictures!

Lovely escape from the chaotic cities of the Golden Triangle. Two nights here was perfect to relax and experience village life in rural India. We stayed in the tented accommodation which was more like glamping! The fort provides breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a boat ride on the lake and a guided tour of a local village in the tariff. You can even do a safari at an extra cost. Great staff too. Loved the spa pool on the hot afternoons. Highly recommended.

What a great stay, the food was excellent, the views simply stunning, the service impeccable and the place had such history, such atmosphere. We really enjoyed the two included events too - the walk around the local village (a highlight of our entire India trip and a real insight into the real life of rural India) and the boat trip on the lake at sunset.

I could not be more pleased with our stay at Ramathra Fort! What a wonderful respite from the chaotic cities. It is remote and up in the hills, providing absolute quiet. Staff are incredible, as is the owner. The fort is 11th generation family-owned and lovingly restored. We stayed in a room (not a tent) which was perfect. It's all-inclusive and the food is delicious, farm-to-table, and plentiful. Hot tub on the parapet with a view was a surprise treat. The trip there is long and slow through numerous villages, but worth it. I could not recommend more highly!

We had booked 3 nights here before we headed to Jaipur towards the end of a 3 week holiday touring around including a tiger safari so we were pretty tired and in need of some relaxation. This was the perfect spot. There is no swimming pool or spa but the owners have told us this is planned for the future. The views are breathtaking and its quiet and peaceful. You can go walking and boating on the nearby lake, do yoga on the roof/parapets, relax in the jacuzzi located outside one of the turrets or have a massage from one of the local village ladies. All food is included and is eaten in their beautiful outdoor dining area. They also have an Indoor dining room in case the weather is bad. There are numerous places to curl up with a book and relax. We had a luxury suite which had the most incredible balcony and outdoor tub both overlooking the valley below. There is a lovely gift shop selling clothes and gifts. The food is Indian and without fail, was delicious. At breakfast eggs bacon and sausages are available as well as fruit, but all other meals are Indian. All the staff are from the nearby village and we did the village walk one morning with a member of staff which was so worthwhile. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip. We also did the sunset boat trip on the lake which was lovely. On the first morning we did a walk around the lake on our own which was beautiful. All the staff there are fantastic (open, friendly, helpful, professional) as are the owners. We definitely plan to return. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.
