Mundota Fort And Palace

Mundota Fort and Palace traces their origins to the early 14th century, when the hilltop fort was built by the Naruka Rajputs. In the 15th century, after a fierce battle, it passed to the Nathawat Rajputs, who remain custodians to this day. In 1550, Thakur Jaswant Singh Ji, great-grandson of Raja Prithviraj Singh of Amer, was granted the estate, which then spread across several villages. He built the palace at the foothills, later expanded by his descendants, and Mundota became a prestigious double Tazimi Jagir of the Jaipur dynasty.

The Thakurs of Mundota earned fame for their bravery, fighting, and defeating Afghan rulers whose battle flags were presented to the Maharaja of Amer. In return, the Nathawats received the white Kachchawa flag with the Kachnar insignia, still preserved at Mundota. The fort, with its turrets and musket holes, served as Jaipur’s first line of defense for centuries.

Abandoned in later years, the fort was revived after a seven-year deep restoration completed in 2020. The restoration kept the original structure and style intact, using stone instead of marble on floors and walls. Today, the estate blends heritage and modern luxury, with large outdoor spaces, exclusive fort suites, farm-to-table dining, and private polo grounds, continuing a 450-year legacy of Rajputana hospitality.

Mundota Fort And Palace show off Indo-Saracenic architecture, where Rajput strength meets Mughal elegance. The place pulls you in with sunlit terraces, big courtyards, little pavilions, and gardens full of peacocks and songbirds. Inside, no room feels the same; fading frescoes on some walls, mirrored antechambers in others, arches, turrets, swings, and marble bowls of flowers make it feel alive.

The palace has 125 rooms, including Palace Superior, Palace Deluxe, Palace Suite, Palace Suite with Sit-Out, Luxury Heritage Cottages, and the Hilltop War Fort Suites with views of the Aravallis. The hilltop fort, over 550 years old, has ten special suites with a private plunge pool or jacuzzi. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are also available, so guests with limited mobility can enjoy a comfortable stay.
