Why we love it

"Four centuries of one family, one lakeside garh"

Rohet Garh is the flagship of the House of Rohet and the original article: the family's ancestral home since 1622, opened to guests in 1990 and restored without adding a single new building, by the house's own telling.

It sits on the banks of a lake amid farmland, all lawns, peacocks and painted gateways, with a pool ringed by stone pavilions where dinner is often served to live folk music. Bruce Chatwin and William Dalrymple each stayed months here writing, the family says, and the kitchen shaped by the late Thakurani Jayendra Kumari still anchors the whole experience.

Come for the frescoed rooms, stay for the village safaris the house says it pioneered in 1988 and rides on the family's Marwari horses.
