Chanoud Garh is a lovingly restored 300‑year‑old fort‑palace that now operates as an intimate heritage hotel run by the Mertia Rajput family. Thick stone walls, airy courtyards, carved jharokhas and pillared halls give the building a strong sense of history, while the limited number of suites keeps the atmosphere personal and house‑like rather than formal.

Each suite is individually designed, with original arches, niches and antique furniture combined with modern bathrooms and comfortable beds. Meals focus on home‑style Rajasthani, Marwari and Central Indian recipes using grains, vegetables and dairy sourced from the estate’s own farms, served in different parts of the palace such as Moti Mahal, Mor Chowk or the rooftop terraces.

Experiences are a major part of a stay at Chanoud Garh. Guests can join heritage walks through the palace and family museum, village walks led by a retired headmaster, and jeep safaris to the salt pans and surrounding countryside. These activities are designed to be low‑key and immersive, focusing on conversations, local stories and understanding rural Rajasthan rather than on staged performances.

Located close to Pali and Falna, Chanoud Garh is usually accessed by road. Jodhpur airport lies roughly 120–130 kilometres away, or about two to two and a half hours by car, while Udaipur airport is around a three‑hour drive depending on the route. Falna is the nearest important railway station, from where Chanoud can be reached in about an hour by taxi, making it convenient to slot into 2026‑era train and flight connections across Rajasthan.
