Nagur is a town of two halves: the old and the new. Like many Indian towns, the new part is teeming with daily life but doesn’t offer too much to the traveller thirsting for cultural adventure. It is the old part, the 12th Century Ahhichatragarh Fort, that gets the heart pumping and sets your mind imagining the extraordinary people and scenes that have gone before you. And to take away any stress, Yonder has selected the perfect Nagaur hotel for you.
It is one of those genuinely fabulous discoveries you never quite expected. The old fort, perhaps more accurately described as a small walled town with a palace at its core, covers an area of approximately 35 acres. The outer sections today are vast fields of grass but when the fort was inhabited were the sites of thriving communities living within the town walls. Fortunately, the palace, complete with its ornate overhanging balconies, elegant colonnades and Mughal courtyards and water gardens has not crumbled, despite being completely abandoned.
