Nowhere
the desert unfolds such exquisite beauties
as in the captivating remote outpost of
Jaisalmer. Being the important trade route
between India and Central Asia, this medieval
city has been gifted with some of the most
exquisitely built mansions and houses in
Rajasthan. The Gorband Palace resembles
one of them and makes a fine place to stay
and experience the magical charm of erstwhile
Jaisalmer. This imposing medieval castle
encased in yellow sandstone has drawn inspiration
from the traditional housing pattern of
a central courtyard surrounded by rooms
on all sides.
Gorbandh
Palace's intricately carved balconies, splendid
lawns and contemporary luxuries are reminiscent
of the medieval yore and mystic of Jaisalmer.
Here every room offers excellent view of
the swimming pool, the gardens and the magnificent
Jaisalmer Fort. Traditional cuisine served
at the hotel gives you a taste of rustic
Rajasthan.
Set
in the midst of the Thar Desert, this veritable
oasis offers ample opportunities to its
guests like desert camps with Rajasthan's
most celebrated folk music and dances around,
campfire on starlit evenings in famous sand
dunes, puppet shows and other traditional
programs. The combination of the modernity
coupled with the magical lure of the desert
makes this a place a paradise for wedding
events and honeymoon couples.
It
is ideally located in the desert city of
Jaisalmer, distinguished over the centuries
for its golden fort or 'Sonar Kila'. A Royal
Retreat, Gorbandh Palace provides spectacular
views of the acclaimed fort and is well-connected
to the famous Sam sand dunes. The hotel
organises desert camps with Rajasthan's
celebrated folk music and dance around a
campfire on starlit evenings at the sand
dunes.
The
very name of this hotel is inspired by the
influence of the desert. Gorbandh is a harness,
which the desert women decorate for their
husband's camel with any material they can
find: cowry shells, beads, sequins, couloured
threads and even buttons. The hotel offers
modern amenities and thoughtful comforts
in an authentic Rajasthani ambience. Abundant
greenery within the hotel, its fountain
and blue waters of the swimming pool create
a comfortably cool environment that defies
the heat and sand of this golden desert
city.
