Ajabgarh Village, Rajasthan

Ajabgarh is a peaceful village in Alwar district, about 100 km northeast of Jaipur, tucked into a quiet valley of the ancient Aravalli hills. The settlement takes its name from Ajab Singh Rajawat, whose lineage is linked to the rulers of nearby Bhangarh, and the landscape here still reflects that legacy with old walls, shrines and stepwells scattered around fields and rocky outcrops.

The village looks out towards Jai Sagar Lake and surrounding farmland, where daily life moves at a slower pace than in Rajasthan’s big cities. You will often see farmers working the land, herders moving livestock, and women in bright Rajasthani dress, echoing the traditional textiles and jewellery that this region is known for.

All around Ajabgarh, the hills hide forts and temples that reward a little effort. Short climbs bring you to vantage points with wide views across the valley, especially striking at sunrise and sunset. The 17th‑century fort and temple complex above the village remain a highlight, with carved pillars, open courtyards and stonework that has survived surprisingly well for its age.

Ajabgarh also sits in the middle of an interesting circuit of places to explore. To one side is Bhangarh, a 17th‑century walled town abandoned not long after it was built and now famous for its dramatic ruins and stories. To another is the Neelkanth area, with dozens of old temples set among hills and forest. A little further away lies Sariska National Park, where guided safaris offer the chance to see tigers, leopards, sambar deer and a wide variety of birds.

Amanbagh: a luxury hideaway in Ajabgarh

Amanbagh Resort Rajasthan

On the edge of the village, Amanbagh has transformed an old royal hunting ground into one of Rajasthan’s most refined retreats. The resort is laid out as a series of pavilions and suites around gardens, courtyards and a long central pool, drawing on Mughal and Rajasthani design with domes, arches and shaded walkways. Inside, the rooms are spacious and calm, designed for guests who want quiet, comfort and space rather than a busy city atmosphere.

Staying at Amanbagh allows you to experience Ajabgarh’s countryside without giving up any modern comforts. Guests can walk or drive up to Ajabgarh Fort, visit Bhangarh’s ruins, or combine temple visits at Neelkanth with drives through the Aravalli hills, then return to a hot shower, good food and a quiet evening by the pool or in the gardens. The staff can help arrange guided excursions, village walks and day trips that match your pace and interests.

Wellness is a strong focus at the resort. There is a spa for massages and body treatments, spaces for yoga and meditation, and many quiet corners for reading or simply watching the light change on the hills. Food tends to highlight fresh ingredients and local flavours, with both Rajasthani and wider Indian dishes, alongside familiar favourites for guests who prefer simpler options.

Ajabgarh is within comfortable driving distance of Jaipur, and can also fit neatly into a longer route that includes Delhi and Agra. Many travellers choose to add two or three nights at Amanbagh at the end of a faster‑paced Golden Triangle or Rajasthan tour, using it as a place to slow down, explore a less‑visited corner of the state and enjoy a more relaxed, rural side of North India.
