While staying here go for a walk around the village, or explore the beautiful surroundings on bike or horseback.
Location
Perched amidst the sweeping Vindhyachal Hills near Chittorgarh, Castle Bijaipur offers a wonderfully remote escape from the usual tourist trail. You’ll arrive via country lanes through villages and farmland, and find yourself in a 16th-century Rajput fort set over 600 metres above sea level, surrounded by flame-of-the-forest trees and quiet valleys.
Rooms
We love the way each room at Castle Bijaipur feels deeply rooted in place. You’ll find carved wood furnishings, high ceilings, terraces that catch the golden light, and modern comforts tucked into a heritage setting.
Amenities
The ambience here is quietly luxurious: a swimming pool framed by historic walls, a library corner, and open lawns where you can sip a drink at dusk. There’s also fine dining that includes local Mewari cuisine.
Activities
You will love the experiences on offer. Join a guided yoga session as dawn breaks over the hills, ride one of the Marwari horses in the castle stables, or set off on a jeep safari through nearby woodland and villages. Evening cultural performances beneath the stars add a gentle, memorable layer to your stay.
Sustainability
The property is actively involved in water-harvesting and composting, and uses solar electricity systems to power parts of the estate. By supporting a family-run heritage hotel in a less-travelled region, your stay also contributes to local livelihoods, conservation of historic architecture and the surrounding landscape.

January
January is a great option for sightseeing in the north, days are clear and warm with minimal fog in the mornings. During this month, southern India provides a warm, sunny escape - properties in Kerala can fill quickly. If all that wasn't enough, visitors can experience some of the best mountain views in the Himalaya's - but you'll need to wrap up warm!
- Kite Festival in Gujarat
- Bikanar Camel Festival in Rajasthan
- Republic Day 26th January
February
February sees all the fog clearing in Northern states and it is regarded as one of the best months to travel as the whole country is warm and sunny. Visiting Delhi and the Golden Triangle are amazing during February and March, October and November but you will experience crowds at these popular sites.
March
One of the more popular months to travel, March is great for both weather conditions and cultural experiences, including Holi celebrating the victory of good over evil. If you're looking to go hiking, March is perfect in the Western Ghats. Visiting Delhi and the Golden Triangle is amazing during February and March, October and November but you will experience crowds at these popular sites.
- Holi Festival - world famous paint throwing celebration.
April
April sees temperatures sore country-wide, making it one of the driest and best months to go elephant and tiger spotting. As daytime temperatures can reach over 40 degrees we recommend excursions based in the mornings and evenings.
May
Temperatures and humidity continue to rise in May, reaching 45 degrees, which can make it uncomfortable. But wildlife viewings continue to be at their best as animals search for water sources.
June
From June, Ladakh is accessible offering incredible scenery and a complete contrast to the rest of India. Days are warm and bright, but you will need to pack layers for added warmth.
We recommend not travelling to Southern India and the Himalayas as humidity is high and thunderstorms are frequent as the country awaits the monsoon season.
July
Much like June, July offers incredible views across Ladakh whilst elsewhere monsoon season rains are imminent.
August
August is the perfect time to cruise along the Ganges thanks to the monsoon and its increased water levels.
September
September marks the end of the monsoon season and weather can still be unsettled across the country. If you're looking for good value travel, there can be some good deals in Rajasthan. Travel to Ladakh comes to a close as the season ends.
October
October is peak travel season, the rains end and the north of the country is warm. Visiting Delhi and the Golden Triangle is amazing during October and November but you will experience crowds at these popular sites.
- Mahatma Ghandi's birthday is celebrated on the 2nd October and is a national holiday.
- Diwali, the ancient Hindu festival of lights dazzles and illuminates the sky.
November
November is one of the best months to travel anywhere in India. Visiting Delhi and the Golden Triangle is amazing in November but you will experience crowds at these popular sites.
December
Southern India is sunny and warm in December, making it a popular option for yuletide celebrations. If you want to delve into northern culture, daytime temperatures as beautiful, however mornings and evenings can be cold and sometimes foggy.
