Ramthara Fort

Absolutely beautiful location. Simply stunning. Accommodation was fabulous. Staff were so welcoming. Hospitality was excellent, Food was delicious. We can’t fault it. We took advantage of the evening boat tour on the lake and the village walking tour. Both included in the price. Such an amazing experience.

On arriving at Ramathra Fort we had to give way to a pair of jackals on the track leading to the hotel. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our room, which had a commanding view over the surrounding farmland and countryside. We had an excellent curry dinner and the following morning enjoyed a rowing boat trip over the tranquil Kalisil Lake. After a relaxing day at the fort, we took an evening game drive over the adjoining Daang Valley and saw several species of game. We were well looked after throughout our stay in this magnificent old fort and would highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in experiencing a taste of historic and rural India.

Lovely escape from the chaotic cities of the Golden Triangle. Two nights here was perfect to relax and experience village life in rural India. We stayed in the tented accommodation which was more like glamping! The fort provides breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a boat ride on the lake and a guided tour of a local village in the tariff. You can even do a safari at an extra cost. Great staff too. Loved the spa pool on the hot afternoons. Highly recommended.

A fabulous hotel, with incredible views from the walls. The room was very comfortable and the food delicious. If you are looking for peace and quiet, whilst being superbly looked after by attentive staff, then this heritage hotel is for you. The boat trip on the lake and village walking tour are led by extremely knowledgeable and friendly guides who go out of their way to make sure you see and learn all there is about this incredible destination

I could not be more pleased with our stay at Ramathra Fort! What a wonderful respite from the chaotic cities. It is remote and up in the hills, providing absolute quiet. Staff are incredible, as is the owner. The fort is 11th generation family-owned and lovingly restored. We stayed in a room (not a tent) which was perfect. It's all-inclusive and the food is delicious, farm-to-table, and plentiful. Hot tub on the parapet with a view was a surprise treat. The trip there is long and slow through numerous villages, but worth it. I could not recommend more highly!

We had booked 3 nights here before we headed to Jaipur towards the end of a 3 week holiday touring around including a tiger safari so we were pretty tired and in need of some relaxation. This was the perfect spot. There is no swimming pool or spa but the owners have told us this is planned for the future. The views are breathtaking and its quiet and peaceful. You can go walking and boating on the nearby lake, do yoga on the roof/parapets, relax in the jacuzzi located outside one of the turrets or have a massage from one of the local village ladies. All food is included and is eaten in their beautiful outdoor dining area. They also have an Indoor dining room in case the weather is bad. There are numerous places to curl up with a book and relax. We had a luxury suite which had the most incredible balcony and outdoor tub both overlooking the valley below. There is a lovely gift shop selling clothes and gifts. The food is Indian and without fail, was delicious. At breakfast eggs bacon and sausages are available as well as fruit, but all other meals are Indian. All the staff are from the nearby village and we did the village walk one morning with a member of staff which was so worthwhile. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip. We also did the sunset boat trip on the lake which was lovely. On the first morning we did a walk around the lake on our own which was beautiful. All the staff there are fantastic (open, friendly, helpful, professional) as are the owners. We definitely plan to return. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.
