Alwarbagh, Aamod at Sariska - Boutique Heritage Stay
Aamod, a popularly known place as Alwarbagh, is a quick getaway from Delhi. After relocating to the Himalayas, Gurgaon has become my base for traveling to various parts of the country whenever necessary. During one such trip, I, along with my fellow blogger friends from the National Capital Region, embarked on a 2-day road trip to Sariska National Park, situated near Alwar in Rajasthan.
We ventured onto the highway and made a stop for breakfast at the enigmatic step wells of Neemrana. I was captivated by this site’s rich heritage and serene atmosphere. We drove through the lush green pastures of Rajasthan, just after the rains, and was pleasantly surprised to see the land and hills covered in vibrant greenery. As we journeyed along the roads, we began to notice the rich Rajasthani culture that permeates the landscape. Unlike the cute little sheep we encountered in Himachal Pradesh, the traffic jams here are caused by the bulky animals that roam freely. Women toil in the fields, while men tend to their cattle for grazing. However, the colorful Rajasthani dresses worn by the women add a vibrant touch to the otherwise barren landscape. My stay at Aamod in Sariska, a heritage-style property nestled amidst vast wilderness, was an experience like no other. This property boasts three distinct palace-style buildings, each offering a variety of rooms. The ambiance is akin to living like royalty in the designer accommodations. With a total of 37 rooms, Aamod is not only a perfect haven for personal retreats but also an ideal venue for hosting weddings and corporate events. The rooftop terraces of these properties exude a regal ambiance, providing a serene haven for evenings spent gazing at the setting sun as it bids farewell to the majestic Aravalli mountain range. I was thoroughly impressed by the thoughtfully designed seating arrangement, which has been meticulously crafted to ensure that guests find no reason to leave. The rooms are spacious and elegantly furnished with a traditional touch. Each room and bathroom is well-equipped with all the modern amenities you need. Each building here has a unique appearance, both on the outside and inside. I spent two days living in one of these buildings. Every nook and cranny of this property was meticulously crafted, making it challenging for me to select a single favorite for photography. This is the personal rooftop terrace reserved for the king and queen’s rooms. They have separate restaurants for each meal, but I highly recommend requesting a royal dinner by the pool. This was the highlight of my stay here - drinks and food served at the poolside after a pool party with fantastic music and a refreshing swim. The Rajasthani delicacies served for dinner here were simply divine! They tantalized my taste buds with spicy and delectable daal baati, lal maans, churma, gatta curry, garlic chutney, and desi ghee. Feel free to close your eyes and make any request from the kitchen, and you’ll never be disappointed. They’ve handpicked a chef who has mastered the art of infusing all the flavors of the cuisines served here.
