The palace is surrounded by a beautifully manicured garden, best suited for romantic walks—look out for the peacocks that may just fly in to keep you company!

All the 72 rooms are well-appointed, giving you an insight into the stately life that the Maharajas led. What takes the cake is the private dinner at their outdoor garden, where you walk through a stream of rose petals to reach an amazing garden lit up with numerous candles. You settle down in your silk tent under the twinkling sky only to be serenaded by soulful Rajasthani music. Then amid fireworks, the chefs walk up to you in a procession with some of the most divine cuisines. Definitely a must-visit-once-in-a-lifetime destination.
