Suryagarh

In the historic, golden city of Jaisalmer, every view is cinematic. It offers an unparalleled travel experience for those who come to witness its charms. Spreading across the city is the beautiful Thar Desert — a peaceful haven of golden sand drifting and dancing throughout the day, and starry skies blinking at night.

It’s a cherry on top when we live moments that feed our souls and when old traditions fuse with contemporary comforts. Suryagarh stands boldly right at the edges of the Thar, carefully preserving the culture and traditions of the past and reimagining travel experiences for modern times.

One of the best luxury hotels in Rajasthan, Suryagarh recites its endless tales through the beautiful carvings on its walls. As you walk through its corridors, you can almost feel the echoes of laughter and the footsteps of those who once wandered here. From heritage rooms to a grand haveli, every unique accommodation welcomes you warmly, which will make you believe that home is not just about the four walls — home is a feeling.

What more? Don a traditional Rajasthani pagdi or a colourful ghagra-choli amidst the endless golden backgrounds, and feel beautiful both inside and out.

A walk on the trails of the Thar will be an unforgettable experience, as you’ll often find yourself surrounded by people sharing stories, local traditions and beliefs. In fact, not just people, but twinkling starry skies often descend over the desert to whisper the stories they have witnessed over many centuries.

The starry night sky watches over the majestic Suryagarh as it boldly stands on the edges of the Thar Desert. As the sun sets in Jaisalmer, it paints the entire city and the Thar in hues of gold and amber. Suryagarh, too, gets soaked in the golden hour in the evening enhancing its vibrance.

Horse riding at Suryagarh is an in-house activity around the property and the undulating landscapes. The three steady and dependable horses in the stable will befriend you and share with you stories of the valour of the Maharajas of Jaisalmer.

There’s something special about this place. As you stand near the outer walls of the hotel, you will notice the sand dunes come to life with hues of orange and gold. This is indeed a breathtaking display of nature that captivates the soul.

Camels have always been the showstoppers in the grainy desert, giving you the experience of an enthralling safari. As you go on a safari, you’ll notice the camel's rhythmic gait carrying you over the dancing sands.

Suryagarh also provides space for you to engage in archery or dhanurveda. Archery was once an important hunting and military skill before the advent of gunpowder. The Maharajas and their military were well-equipped with archery and other combat skills. This boutique property offers archery as a combat recreational activity that gives you a high adrenalin rush. You can even enjoy your own personalised space, allowing for marksmanship, shooting technique and form.

Suryagarh, along with the Thar Desert, beckons adventurers and dreamers alike to show you the hidden treasures of history, culture and nature. These magical treasures will convince you to come back to this splendid landscape and dip into the symphony of India’s heritage and traditions.
