Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace<\/h1>\r\n

Conceptualised by a maharaja, this modern-day palace, which serves as the current home of the former Jodhpur royal family and is the sixth-largest private property in the world, shares one feature with Agra’s famous Taj Mahal: palm court marble.<\/span><\/h5>\r\n

Where else would there be a welcome ceremony with drums and a dancing troupe just to greet you?The Umaid Bhawan Palace, located on Chittar Hill, the highest point in Jodhpur, offers breathtaking views of the ancient Blue City, enormous sand dunes, and the commanding Mehrangarh Fort. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Balsamand and Kalyana lakes, the main shopping districts, and this heritage palace hotel in Jodhpur are all within 20 minutes of each other. And did we mention this is where Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas officially tied the knot?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”100″ class=”image-conetent-block”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”left-image”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”16431″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

Why do we love Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace?<\/h2>\r\nVast perfectly manicured lawns and greenery of the well maintained gardens provide a magnificent 26 acre setting for the impressive facade of the hotel. We love the hotel for its exquisite architecture, spectacular opulence, and sheer class, the true beauty of which can only be appreciated upon beholding it.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nTruly a jewel in the Taj crown, Umaid Bhawan Palace was constructed between 1928 and 1943 and is an extravagant representation of modern Jodhpur. Wherever you go you will be luxuriously secluded.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_meta_color=”false” padding_top=”100″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1744948640801{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]\r\n
