Overview

The heritage village of Samode, in Rajasthan, offers a quiet trip away from the chaos of city life. Like almost all cities, towns and villages in Rajasthan, Samode too offers a glimpse of Rajputana history. Alluring stain glass work windows, dazzling chandeliers and exquisite artwork ceilings mark the very grand Samode Palace, which has now been converted into a heritage hotel. The durbar hall encrusted with millions of tiny mirrors and intricately carved silver furniture will mesmerize completely. Take a walk to the Samode Fort, which offers a grand view of the mighty Aravalli range and the Samode village. The village has little to offer, you can pick up tie and dye fabrics, dress materials, miniature paintings and gems etc. So while in Samode, relish the quiet village life, watch the sun go down from the Samode Fort and experience luxury at the heritage hotel. Small restaurants and roadside dhabas along Amer road offer a variety of food items.
