Encompassed by a conspicuous vastness, in the midway of Keoladeo Ghana Bird Sanctuary in Bharatpur and Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, stands the centuries-old Ramathra Fort. Just around 15 kilometres away from here, lies the Kailadevi National Park. The fort is a magnificent piece of history that has been converted into a heritage hotel now. It is nestled far from the crowds, in the interiors of eastern Rajasthan, with rugged but spectacular terrains and bits of shrubs all around. From the fort, one can get clear views of the serene Kalisil Lake. To make your stay all the more interesting, the fort hotel comes with quaint tents and an open-air hot tub overlooking the valley.
