Sardar Samand Lake Palace was built on the banks of a beautiful lake by Maharaja Umaid Singh of Jodhpur Marwar in 1933. It is a poem to the Art Deco and a delight to visit and live in. A bird watcher's paradise, along with peacocks, owls, wildlife, evening camp fires, boat trips and visits locally. We were charmed and recommend it as a beautiful place in which to relax and just enjoy rural Rajasthan. It is reached from Jodhpur on a good road. www.jodhanaheritage.com
