Tour Details
Samode lies roughly 40–45 km north of Jaipur, making it an easy day trip into the hills with plenty of time to explore the main sites. These former royal properties have now been restored as heritage hotels and venues, but still keep much of their original artwork and layout. Your driver and, if booked, local guide help you move between each place at a relaxed pace, with time for photographs and short breaks.
- Samode Palace: Set against the Aravalli hills, the palace is known for its painted Durbar Hall, Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors) and a series of terraces and courtyards. From the upper levels you get wide views over the village and surrounding countryside. [web:1088][web:1091]
- Samode Haveli: This town‑side haveli has airy verandas, old paintings and a large dining area that shows how the family combined traditional design with later additions. It offers a closer look at the lifestyle of Samode’s rulers. [web:1095]
- Samode Bagh: Laid out as a walled garden, Samode Bagh follows a Mughal‑inspired plan with a long central water channel, trees and pavilions providing shade. It is a pleasant place for a walk or a quiet tea break during the day. [web:1089][web:1098]
