Most visitors to Delhi never realise that Rajasthan begins just two hours away.
Alwar holds the story of Hemu — the Hindu general who in 1556 came within a single battle of becoming the last Hindu emperor of India. Its City Palace has five extraordinary gates. Siliserh Lake was created by a Maharaja who fell in love with a local woman and built a palace on the water to be near her. The overnight stay is in Dadhikar Fort, a thousand years old.
Day two brings Neemrana, the 15th century fort palace and its step well — a medieval water harvesting structure that doubles as a cool retreat from the Rajasthan heat.
Two days. Four forts and palaces. One overnight in a thousand year old fort. Private car from Delhi, expert guide, all entry fees and breakfast included.
