We recently spent 3 nights at the ALILA Fort Bishangarh. Everything about our stay was fantastic! When we arrived to check in we were greeted with a cool drink and music by local Rajasthsni musicians. The colorful costumes of the musicians added to the unique nature of the arrival process. After enjoying the view of the imposing, historical fort from below, we were whisked up to our rooms in the fort via electric golf carts. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The bathroom amenities were perfect. The views out the windows of the surrounding countryside were outstanding. Each day we found an assortment of delicious local snacks in our room when we returned. We tried all of the restaurants and enjoyed everything we had. A special treat was dinner on the roof with traditional Rajasthani cooking and musicians serenading us. We also enjoyed our breakfasts. Our waiter, Aditya, was extremely helpful in guiding us through the menu. We tried a number of Indian breakfast items based on his recommendation and that added to the authenticity of our experience. We participated in many of the experiences offered by the hotel. A camel cart ride through the village, a tiger safari, archery, cricket and a tour of the kitchen garden. All of the staff were gracious and patient with us as we tried the local activities. My wife used the spa and enjoyed a very unique oil treatment for her “third eye.” And the high tea in the afternoon was delightful- a delicious array of sweet and savory treats to accompany our tea. Staying at the Alika Fort Bishangarh was truly a unique experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the local culture while relaxing at a historic, luxurious resort.
