Deogarh

A Heritage Town — Slow Train Through the Aravallis

About

Discover Deogarh

Deogarh is a small Aravalli heritage town in the Rajsamand district of Rajasthan, known for the 17th-century Deogarh Mahal — a fort-palace that combines Rajput and Mughal decorative traditions and has been carefully restored as an intimate heritage hotel. What distinguishes Deogarh from other Rajasthan stopovers is the heritage metre-gauge train ride that connects it to the plains below: a slow, rattling journey through tunnels and across gorges, the Aravalli range rising in waves on every side. Village walks around Deogarh reveal a life little changed by tourism: potters, farmers and weavers going about their days in a quiet, photogenic landscape.
