What do the denizens of an aspiring global metropolis do in an extended weekend? Escape to the nearest getaway of course. Apparently for Delhi it all started with Neemrana Fort Palace [1].
Neemrana fort is about 3 hours drive from central Delhi, falls on Delhi-Jaipur Highway in the state of Rajasthan. It used to be a fort, now a non-hotel hotel. Extremely popular with Delhites, it is a small fort (compared to say an average fort of Rajasthan), now nicely done up and partly closed for general public. Since it is situated on a hill, it offers a great ‘birds eye’ view. For me there was plenty of photo opp and an invitation to sit by the pool with a glass of beer.
The weather was actually ‘fort-unfriendly’ in the 'extended weekend' in which I visited – terribly hot and humid. I must go back there in a winter afternoon or a summer evening. I have the feeling, it will be fantastic!
