The Rawla Narlai - A Leopard Safari Destination

Indulge in luxury and comfort from the moment you arrive until the very end of your stay.Rawla Narlai, a beautifully restored former hunting palace, is a true heritage gem. The property is filled with colorful gardens, inviting outdoor spaces, and plenty of peaceful corners to relax and unwind.Our suite was stunning’tastefully decorated with antique furniture, vibrant stained-glass windows, a marble bathroom, and a lovely balcony and veranda perfect for lounging.Service throughout the stay was outstanding. The spa massage by the pool was excellent and deeply relaxing. A special mention goes to the staff uniforms, which recreate old royal-era attire and add a charming historical touch to the experience.The view from the outdoor restaurant, overlooking Elephant Rock, is absolutely spectacular.One night here is simply not enough.

A lovely hotel, staffed by the usual high standard of staff, where nothing is ever a problem.We did the afternoon safari, saw several leopards. Whilst not on a scale of an African safari, we enjoyed it nonetheless.Dinner in the stepwell was also a unique experience.Definitely a stay to remember.

We were not sure if 3 nights here was too long. Absolutely not. 14 days into our Indian trip the Rawla Narlai provided just the total relaxation we needed. The pool is first class, climbing the hill for sunrise very special indeed. The safari too was great, we saw one leopard thanks to our tenacious guide/ranger Bhupendra Singh but others saw more. The step well dinner was a spectacle with hundreds of twinkling lights under a satin black sky. Though we love Indian food, and had eaten nothing but up to this point, the range of non-indian food was welcome just for variety. Their pasta is very well prepared. The rooms are luxurious with lovely bathrooms and many have terraces. The grounds and setting are beautiful. Service was impeccable without being overwhelming, our waitress Sana was lovely and spoke excellent English. Overall we loved Rawla Narlai and could easily have stayed longer.

Luxury amidst the dry rocky surroundings. This place oozes charm. We stopped for breakfast enroute to jodhpur, delicious food and chilled vibes. We loved the place . The staff is super courteous. The access road is a little confusing but worth the way.

Set in the country place on private land owned by Jodhpur’s royal family, this palace is a perfect place to take a few days off. Away from traffic and noise. It’s very well run. We took a leopard safari expertly guided by Vishnu. We did in fact see leopards (mother and cub) and the whole experience was very respectful of the animals and nature.Our room is in the heritage part of the hotel and it’s amazing.
