Situated high above the banks of the sacred Narmada River and once the capital of India's celebrated woman ruler Ahilya Bai Holkar, the fort retains the feeling of its epoch while bringing guests all the modern conveniences. An oasis of peace and repose in a dramatic and picturesque setting, it offers spectacular views of the river and the ghats below. Hidden terraces and turrets, as well as courtyards and verandas linked by stone walkways, are charming reminders of their era. The rooms, suites and tents all feature ensuite bathrooms, overhead fans and traditional air coolers.
With the fort's host, Prince Shivaji Rao Holkar, a reputed chef and gourmet, personally overseeing the kitchen, mealtimes are a special occasion. AThere is no formal dining room and breakfast buffet is served on the ramparts of the fort, overlooking the magnificent views. Lunch is in the cool covered courtyard and dinner takes place in the garden, by the pool or on the terrace. Guests can relax with a traditional massage, explore the fort's many temples, walk down to the riverside or stroll along the ghats.
