Built since 1464 AD, Neemrana Fort-Palace is India's oldest heritage resort. It is also Rajasthan's closest palace from
New Delhi, situated at 122 kms. on the Delhi-Jaipur highway - only 100 kms from Delhi's international airport. Sited on a majestic
plateau, concealed in a horseshoe formation of the billion year old Aravalli ranges, Neemrana became the third capital of the
descendants of Prithviraj Chauhan III, who was killed in battle by Mohammad Ghori in 1192 AD. This picturesque site was chosen by
Raja Rajdeo and Neemrana derived its name from a brave local chieftain Nimola Meo, who when defeated by the Chauhans, pleaded
that his name be given to his lost kingdom.
Neemrana Fort Palace covers 25 acres/10 hectares and the stepped palaces of this architectural jewel cut into the hillside
to sprawl over 3 acres/1.2 hectares and rises to 10 levels commanding the most splendid views.
From 1986, the ruins of Neemrana Fort Palace have been sensitively restored and reconstructed. The rooms are furnished with an eclectic mix of
traditional Indian and colonial furniture, antiques and object d'art. Most rooms have private balconies or terraces and the loos
are designed to have views!
