Ravla Khempur
Just 28 km from Udaipur airport, out in the countryside not in Jaipur as the film suggests - a great place to see wildlife. These can be seen on my Indian Animal and Birds of Rajasthan pages.

The owners are very proud of their famous Marwari and Kathiawari horses, which are available for guest to ride.

Places to stay
Built in 1628, this was the location of the film "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" starring Dame Judy Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy.
On release now.
Highly recommended.
Great cast, Great script, Great location.

We have stayed there twice, just after filming had finished, as the only guests. The 'Monsoon look' was all artificial - coloured wash and polystyrene.

In 2011, the food was some of the best I've ever tasted in India. Local dishes - all vegetarian with fresh local vegetables bought daily.
