Dadhikar Fort Alwar

The historical structure Dadhikar Fort was constructed approximately 1100 years ago in the 9-10^th century as a residential camp. It was constructed right in the middle of thick forests surrounded by Aravali Hills by the deserted King Chand and his family. He was forced to leave his capital city Abhanagari (now Abhaneri) and live in the forests because everything he owned was lost in the massive floods at the time. It was named as “Derakar” as “Dera stands for camp denotes camp “kar” means to do. So “Derakar” stood for “doing a camp” or making a camp.

The accommodation facilities in Dadhikar Fort, a popular heritage hotel in Rajasthan, are simply spectacular. All the 18 rooms in the hotel are designed very traditionally to portray the real colors of Rajasthan. The rooms are named, after the nearby forests, as Dandhkarnya, Sundervan, Mahavan, Kadambvan, Kalanjar, Madhuvan, Chitrakoot, Nandavan, Rishayamoonk, Himgiri, Kadlivan, Dronanchal, Mainak, Kokilavan, Malya, Pampapur Parn Kutir, and Paarijaat. The rooms are designed and furnished very sophisticatedly so that one could feel the rich heritage of India blending in with the modernity of the country. With luxurious amenities in every room, a stay in any one of them is truly memorable.

The dining experience is pure delight at the hotel’s on-site multi-cuisine restaurant Akshyabatloi which specializes in Indian, continental and Rajasthani delicacies that are served in buffet style. The guests enjoy the exotic picturesque sights of the majestic Aravalli hills from this rooftop restaurant. Along with the folk music and folk dance performances in the evening in here, the views come more alive than ever and so does the delicious food.
