Mana Hotels: The best resorts near Kumbhalgarh



Kumbhalgarh is a little town in the royal state of Rajasthan, but it was not always a small town. Once upon a time, it was the capital of the well renowned Mewar region of Rajput Rule. In 15th century, Mewar was an influential kingdom, and the ruler of that kingdom was Rana Kumbha. The most famous Kumbhalgarh fort was named after him as it was built during his reign as a presidential palace and fortress. This second largest fort has been recognised for its 38 km wall made on the hill that originates from the fort. And thinking that it was built in the time when there was not electric equipment or engine run means of transportation, it is quite amazing to have this wall built on the hills. Today, this fort is the major tourist attraction getting tourists from all over the world. To accommodate these tourists, resorts near Kumbhalgarh have been opened, of which, Mana Hotels is the best one in terms of architecture and services.

Mana Hotels is located in the small town near Kumbhalgarh, called Ranakpur. Ranakpur is famous for its Chaturmukha Jain Temple, built for Lord Adinath during the reign of Rana Kumbha.

Mana Hotels arranges for an exclusive Ranakpur sightseeing package for its guests, who do not only enjoy these sites, but also get to visit the local farmer’s market, the Raika (camel-rearing tribe) household, Sadri village and its market place along with Aarogyadham and a Cottage Industry named Camel Charisma.
