It is the year of Gajner Palace, a Grand Heritage Palace of the HRH Group of Hotels, Udaipur. Gajner Palace is set to witness a series of high profile events in 2004-05 that will showcase the finest of Indian ethnic crafts, music and dance in an authentic heritage ambience of Royal Rajasthan. Sir Ganga Singhji, one of the greatest maharajas of Bikaner, built Gajner Palace in the early years of the twentieth century. Today Gajner Palace has been sensitively restored to come alive for visitors from overseas and India who are discovering the sprawling palace complex as a complete and ideal destination. It is a Grand Heritage Palace of the HRH Group of Hotels, Udaipur.
“For leisure travellers and the corporate world, Gajner Palace is fast becoming a preferred destination," said Mr Jitendra Singh Rathore, president of the HRH Group. "Gajner Palace is ideal for glittering weddings and also suited for small conferences: guests who love the outdoors have options for nature-walks and safaris into the 6000 acre wildlife sanctuary," he said. Gajner Palace is just four hours' drive from Jodhpur, the nearest airport that is well connected to both New Delhi and Mumbai. Bikaner is the closest railhead for Gajner Palace; it is barely half-an-hour's drive from Bikaner to Gajner. Bikaner has daily trains to and from New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Chandigarh. Guests, who visit Jaisalmer for its tuneless charms, prefer to drive into Gajner Palace; the excellent roads of Rajasthan make driving a pleasure.
Built on the shores of the Gajner Lake, the palace has been likened to a 'jewel of the Thar Desert'. Gajner Lake has been the regular watering hole for thousands of migratory birds. Over the years, Gajner is becoming well known as a bird-watchers' paradise.
The HRH Group is preserving royal palaces and resorts and has developed an authentic heritage circuit in Rajasthan that offers regal experiences of island-palaces, museums, galleries. The CMD of the HRH Group is Shri Arvind Singh Mewar whose illustrious family had been rulers of the former state of Mewar in Rajasthan for 1500 years.
