Getaway from Delhi

As we get down to the routine way we all tend to mark the 62nd year of becoming a Republic, an attempt to appreciate the natural beauty and heritage of our country. This is a fort in Alwar, Rajasthan - just about 200 km away from Delhi - now converted into a B&B. We were here for a much needed getaway in mid January - just one day since we had gone without K - and what a lovely getaway it was. Truly romantic.

Jai Hind!

Liked the pic of the fields. Did you drive down, how long did it take?

Miri said...

Sra, took about about 3.5 hours because the roads in some parts was bad...should take much less..

Miri said...

Ashutosh - so that's what it takes for people to comment - NOT write about food ;)
One Biryani coming up soon :)

Rajasthan is one of my favourite places in the world. Lovely photographs.

Isn't rural N India just beautiful at this time with the mustard fields! Lovely getaway!

I remember visiting a Neemrana property there; is this that?

Miri said...

Very pretty Anita - esp after seeing cane fields by the acre!
This is a Neemrana property, but the more popular one is closer to Delhi in Neemrana and is much bigger - so not sure if that's the one you went to.
