Located in Alwar, Rajasthan, Amanbagh is hidden in a valley, transporting you from city to wilderness as if stepping into the world of "One Thousand and One Nights" in an instant 🌿 This Aman is the perfect blend of palace and nature, every snapshot feels like a cinematic masterpiece~ ▫️An Oasis in a Secret Realm The hotel is situated next to the ancient fortress ruins of Ajabgarh, with a huge private garden embraced by mountains. The main pool reflects the Mughal-style domes, and at dusk, the silhouettes of palm trees and their reflections in the water create an absolutely stunning scene! Our pool villa was surrounded by greenery, and in the morning, peacocks strolled across the lawn as soon as we opened the curtains 🦚 ▫️Experiences Full of Ceremony • Morning yoga takes place under a century-old tree, with temple bells ringing softly in the breeze 🔔 • Be sure to visit the rooftop terrace at sunset! The butler prepares spiced chai and snacks while you watch the valley turn red in the twilight • The "Dust Bull" desert ride is super fun—follow local guides through thorny forests and end with a picnic among the ruins of an abandoned fortress ▫️Rajasthani Flavors on the Palate The chef uses ingredients from the hotel’s own garden to create a very special thali set. Highly recommend the saffron lamb stew and rose milk pudding! I could eat three servings of the Indian pancakes with wild honey for breakfast 🤤 Don’t forget to book a candlelight dinner by the pool in advance—dining under a sky full of stars is incredibly romantic ⚠️Practical Tips: 1. During the rainy season (July-September), the valley turns emerald green, but remember to bring mosquito repellent 2. It takes about 3 hours by car from Jaipur, with the last stretch of mountain road a bit bumpy 3. Wear comfortable shoes for the ruins hike, as some steps are steep 4. The spa uses local herbs, and the Ayurvedic massage is a must-try Even daydreaming here feels like filming a movie. Sitting on the terrace watching mist rise from the 16th-century walls, you suddenly understand what "amber of time" means ✨ Aman devotees and history buffs must come to pay homage!

#hellohalloween #familytravel #travel The Chhatarpur district, south of New Delhi, is home to a complex of four Hindu temples. We went to visit the southern part of the complex, namely the temple dedicated to Hanuman and the other temple, on the initiative of a Guru. It is not obligatory to remove your shoes in the complex except to enter the temples and approach the statue, as in all other temples. The temples are grandiose, in the pure Hindu tradition. The pretty, elaborate decorations. Special mention for this immense turtle which carries an immense scepter on its back. From the esplanade at the foot of the immense statue of Hanuman we have a bird's eye view of the monumental temples opposite as well as the entire esplanade. Pay attention to visiting hours because some parts close between noon and two o'clock. Accessible via the yellow metro line or by taxi or tuktuk, we are far from mass tourism where we were to be the only "white" people to visit that day. A visit not essential but worth a look if you have the time. Free entries obviously.

We recently stayed at this beautiful resort in Sariska to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was truly a memorable experience. The staff went above and beyond by helping me organize a surprise cake and room decoration, adding a personal touch that made the celebration even more special. The food was excellent, with a variety of delicious options, and we really appreciated the high tea included in our package – a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. My wife had a deep tissue massage at the spa, and she couldn’t stop raving about how relaxing and rejuvenating it was – a definite highlight of our stay. Overall, a great place for a special getaway, with warm hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and thoughtful touches that make all the difference. They can also help you to book Sariska tiger safari and other activities #Sariska #resort #rajasthan Highly recommended for those looking for a blend of luxury and nature.
