The Aodhi, Kumbhalgarh

Location
Tucked away in the Aravali Mountain range and hidden from view, this charming hotel under the HRH Group of Hotels' patronage is set in a wildlife sanctuary outside the city of Udaipur. Burrowed in the hills, The Aodhi is surrounded by green wooded forests at the base of the Kumbhalgarh fort, which itself is enclosed within a 36-km wall. Rana Kumbha - one of the greatest Suryavanshi kings of the Sisodia dynasty and a ruler of versatile endowments constructed the fort to ward off marauding invaders in the mid 15th century.
Illuminated every evening, the Fort lends majesty to its surroundings.

Accommodation
The Aodhi's suites and rooms are in harmony with its natural surroundings. Characteristic stony walls lend an authentic, rugged feel to the hotel. Most rooms have private balconies overlooking the limpid swimming pool, green lawns, and flowering trees and shrubs.
23 well-appointed rooms and three suites in thematic architectural style and design match the mood of the sanctuary. Each room has a balcony or a private garden where a guest can relax in solitude and enjoy nature's bounty. The stillness and the quietness of the surroundings are accentuated by chirping birds and peacock-calls: this is an oasis of natural peace in a remarkably rare heritage setting.

Fine dining
The Aodhi offers a variety of cuisines in different settings. Chowka and Angithi are open-air restaurants. The Pool Deck serves light snacks and looks out over the sanctuary. The Chopal Bar is casual in its setting but tells the history and geography of the area through its paintings and photographs. Barbeques can also be arranged around the poolside

Conference Facilities
The Hotel is an ideal venue for hosting private conferences and seminars. Because of its unique location, entertainment is exclusive and plentiful.

Other Facilities
Leisure activities range from jeep and horse safaris to swimming, cycling, hiking, trekking and camping. The hotel is also situated close to important religious centres such as Nathdwara, Eklingji and Ranakpur.
