Mandawa, one of the principle town in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, is known for its ancient havelis. The best place to discover the legacy of Shekhawati is from the Mandawa Castle, a fortress. This fort is now converted into a luxurious heritage hotel. The Mandawa Castle in Mandawa is the signature of luxury on the land of Mandawa. The Mandawa Castle is a perfect blend of old, royal and modern architecture.
Family portraits, antique cannons and arms add to the charm of this family run resort where tradition still runs strong. In this hotel even the time is measured by a different clock which is a huge brass gong struck by the resident timekeepers at the fort every hour.
