The story of Samode Palace
goes back more than four and a half centuries. Prithviraj Singhji of Amber,
the seventeenth prince of the house of Kachhawaha Rajputs, had awarded Samode
to one of his twelve sons-Gopal Singhji along with the hereditary title of Rawal
Saheb.
Nestled picturesquely amid rugged hills, Samode Palace with its stately grandeur
and frescoed walls is a pleasant journey into the glorious past. The palace
is full of architectural delights -the birds, animals and flowers painted on
the walls of Sultan Mahal, the dining-room with its stained glass windows and
its collection of old family portraits, the Durbar Hall with its painted ceilings
and intricately carved walls and beautiful chandeliers, give this palace its
old world charm.
Each room is done up in traditional Rajasthani style and the antique furniture
blends well with the atmosphere making it comfortable and luxurious at the same
time.
Special Features:
A traditional welcome with camel carts, buggies, elephants and local musicians
is organized if desired. Camel safaris available.
