Samode

A Royal Village — 475 Years of Palace Life in the Aravallis

About

Discover Samode

Samode is a small village tucked into a wooded valley in the Aravalli foothills, about an hour north of Jaipur. Its raison d'être is the 16th-century Samode Palace: a tiered haveli of frescoed halls, mirror-inlaid chambers and terraced gardens that has been in the same family for nearly five centuries and is now one of Rajasthan's most celebrated heritage hotels. The village itself is quiet and walkable — a gentle counterpoint to the intensity of Jaipur — and makes an ideal lunch stop or overnight base on the Delhi–Jaipur corridor. The palace's interior is one of the finest examples of Rajput decorative art in the region.
