Aman Bagh, Alwar

Situated in the foothills of the Aravalli Hills and built, haveli-style, using soft sandstone and pale pink marble, Amanbagh is a regal garden estate in the starkly beautiful wilds of Rajasthan. Circled by walls which enclose a verdant oasis watered by a nearby lake and tributaries of the Chambal River, Amanbagh was once the site of the Maharajah of Alwar's hunting lodge, and his favoured garden retreat. Evoking the cultural richness, the princely pleasures, and the dramatic romance of the Moghul era, Amanbagh pays homage to India's golden age with palatial splendor in the finest of details.

Amanbagh rests within a walled enclosure and its fertile soil, watered by a nearby lake, supports an exotic garden of statuesque palms, aged eucalyptus and fruit trees, frangipani and lawns of manicured jade green - a dramatic contrast to the surrounding rugged terrain of the Aravalli Hills. Styled after the grandiose architecture of the Moghul era, Amanbagh pays homage to Rajasthan's golden age through its elegant, unique interpretation of a grand haveli, or nobleman's palace. The use of local materials for the period details and lavish interiors incorporate floors of softly-hued pink marble or makrana, and domed cupolas and inner courtyards of pale smooth sandstone. Amanbagh is a secluded and sumptuous retreat, offering visitors the opportunity to discover and explore the fascinating remnants of Rajasthan's extraordinary history, as well as the colourful culture and wildlife that flourishes today. The Restaurant is positioned on the lower floor of the main building and provides a regal atmosphere beneath its double-height ceiling. Seating is either banquette-style or at tables which flow onto the outside terrace. The food is simple, home-style, Indian cuisine, with a choice of Western dishes also available. Another, more informal dining venue is next to the swimming pool. Here, one dines outdoors beneath a covered colonnade. The Library Terrace, located on the upper floor of the main building, is ideal for informal dining in the evening, particularly during the hotter months when a cool breeze can be enjoyed under a starlit sky. The Bar and Salon is located opposite the Restaurant and offers a cosy place in which to relax and unwind. The Roof Terrace, which is elevated above a canopy of trees, provides sweeping views over the surrounding landscape, and is another option for dining and refreshments.

Amanbagh is located at the head of a gorge which opens into a large valley. Flooded during the monsoon season, it becomes a lake which gradually recedes throughout the year until the monsoon rains return. Surrounding the valley and providing a catchment for the rain are rocky hills and knolls that support sporadic and hardy vegetation. The desolate hills make for an interesting visual contrast to the plains below.
New Delhi, with its broad boulevards and tree-lined avenues, is the primary gateway to Amanresorts' stays in northern India. The international airport is located approximately 35km from the city centrer of Delhi and  Car transfers from the Delhi airport to Amanbagh take approximately 4½ hours.  
The secondary international gateway to Amanbagh is Jaipur, which offers international flights to and from Dubai (the return leg passes via New Delhi) and Bangkok. Jaipur is a ½ hour flight from Delhi. There are approximately six daily flights between Delhi and Jaipur, and Mumbai and Jaipur during high season, operated by Sahara Airlines, Kingfisher Airlines, Jet Airways and Indian Airlines.

In the countryside surrounding Amanbagh, there lies evidence of a lost empire whose historical ambition still echoes in the remains of grand architectural ruins.  Excursions on a cultural trail within a 30km radius of Amanbagh include visits to the nearby Ajabgarh Fort and Temple which were built in 1635 AD and are connected by an underground passageway. Nearby, the Baba Kapoor Shah Mosque was erected in the 17th century in memory of the great Sufi mystic of the same name. 15km from Amanbagh and built in the mid-1600s, Bhangarh is of great archaeological importance: a national heritage site that comprises an entire city of bazaars, palaces, gardens, temples and bathing pools that was deserted overnight by its inhabitants as the result of a curse.
Explore the countryside by camel cart, horseback, elephant, bicycle, jeep or Shikara boat. Amanbagh organizes a variety of safaris with different forms of transport including the unique Malwari horses of Rajasthan, stabled on the property, local camels, or even Amanbagh's very own pet camel, Babu. Venture out by bicycle and discover the rural charm of the local villages and farming hamlets.
Amanbagh also offers many walking trails ranging from easy valley walks through rural villages to more challenging hikes high into the dramatic Aravalli Hills. These walks can be combined with our cultural trails and picnic lunches in spectacular locations. 5 km away, on the edge of Sariska National Park lies Narayani Mata Temple, one of Rajasthan's most sacred sites dating back to 1058 AD. Inside Sariska National Park, once the personal hunting grounds of the Maharajah of Alwar and now home to panthers, leopards, deer, wild boar, and a variety of birdlife, the temple town of Neelkanth provides a spectacular view from the plateau on which it sits. The site of many beautifully carved temples dating from the 6th century, its most famous temple, Neelkantheshwar, predates even these. In the heart of Sariska, Kankwari Fort was built sometime in the 16th century and is a remarkable site surrounded by jungle and palm trees. Once used by the Maharajah of Alwar as his Winter Palace, a picnic lunch can be arranged for Amanbagh guests on the Fort's turret tops. Daytrips to the Pink City of Jaipur for shopping and sightseeing can be arranged and combined with a sunset elephant safari on the way back to Amanbagh. The famed Taj Mahal in Agra and lesser known abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri are both fabulous historic sights. A daytrip can be arranged upon request.
