Since time immemorial Man and Horse have been close companions serving one and other in times of war and peace. Rajputana is known as the land of Princes and Warriors, who fought legendary battles with their Risalas (Cavalary). It was with the help of these Risalas that they reached the boundless boundaries of prestige and honour. Those were the days when sunset marked the end of the day and horsemen dismounted to set up camp.

We would like to take you back to an era which belonged to our ancestors and which remains an imagination in our minds today. Badalgarh fort will bring - forth to you that bygone era, rich with Romance and Chivalry. The burning embers of the barbecue, the melodious sound of music and the crackling of the burning fire will mesmerize you, not to miss the dancing women who will surely chant a spell on you.
