Chanoud

A rural village in Rajasthan

Chanoud is a small, remote, and very rural village in Rajasthan’s Pali district, about an hour south of Jodhpur.

Expect to see local shepherds wearing colorful turbans as the village serves the surrounding farms. Chanoud Garh, a beautifully converted palace with seven beautiful suites, is located in the heart of Chanoud. Chanoud is off the beaten path and ideal for those seeking an authentic experience. It’s also a good halfway point between Udaipur and Jodhpur.

An off-the-beaten-track destination

This is an off-the-beaten-path destination with a small village, a beautiful lake, and a 300-year-old palace.

A morning on the banks of Chanoud’s tranquil lake is a wonderful way to unwind, and you can explore the salt-pans and vast open fields in the distance. Interact with the locals or go on a safari by jeep or camel.

Chanoud Garh is adorned with delicate filigree work and is surrounded by regal courtyards and mural-painted walls.

The charming Chaoundgarh homestay is located in a village of dusty agricultural hamlets dotted around a tranquil lake.

Things to Explore

History of Chanoud

Chanoud of today was a prominent Jagir of the valiant Mertia Rajputs. The estate, which was previously part of the Godwar region, was given to Thakur Anoop Singhji in the early 1700s. During that time, Udaipur (Mewar) ruled Chanoud and the surrounding villages. The Jagirs of Godwar were given to Jodhpur during the 1453 war between Rao Jodha of Marwar and Rana Chunda or Mewar (Marwar). As a result, Chanoud came under Jodhpur rule, and it was honored as a Jodhpur State First Class Jagir.

Jeep Safari

Take an exhilarating drive into the countryside to witness the breathtaking sight of the salt water pan shimmering in the desert sun. The area is also home to several migratory birds, making it an ideal location for aspiring ornithologists. The drive also provides an opportunity to see the Rabari settlements.

Village Walk

Unlike most villages in Rajasthan today, Chanoud has not succumbed to rampant commercialisation and retains its traditional charm. The walk is led by a retired headmaster from the local school and winds through historical temples, the local school, and the shops of artisans who continue to make each item by hand, following in the footsteps of their forefathers. You might come across the Rabaris, who are known for their vibrant clothing, jewelry, and crafts.
