  Details
Overview
Nestled in idyllic splendour, with the blue waters of Gaibsagar lake on one side and a cove of private reserve forest on the other, Udai Bilas Palace is an embodiment of the old world charm of princely India. This is an ideal paradise of unhurried hospitality from where one can explore birdlife and tribal life and experience a splendidly romantic ambiance for that very special honeymoon. It offers a scenic location for rest and recreation.

The History of Udai Bilas Palace dates from the mid-19th century, under Maharawal Udai Singhji-II, a great patron of art and architecture. The Udai Bilas Palace was enlarged in 1940 by Maharawal Laxman Singhji, who built three new wings around the "Ek Thambia Mahal" (literally one pillared Palace) and thus created the famous "courtyard" of the Palace.
The Stay
The royal residence offers accommodation in the house-guest tradition with twenty spacious, air-conditioned rooms and lavishly appointed bedrooms. No two rooms are alike, simply because no two guests are alike.

From suites to guest-rooms, each enchants with its own personality, spaciousness and modern comforts for a unique experience. The furnishings are mostly from the 20th century art-deco style, marble bathrooms with English fixtures and running hot and cold water.

The marble dining  table with a scented water pool in the centre can seat upto 32 pax  and is ideal for small groups

Fixed menus are predominantly Indian, subtly spiced to suit the western guests. Continental or Chinese dishes are served on request. Special candle lit dinners are provided by the lakeside, or picnic lunches at the ancient fortified ruins with a panoramic view of the ancient town of Dungarpur.

Attractions
Sitamata Wildlife sanctuary
Nature lovers can expect visits to the Sitamata Wildlife sanctuary, a 423 - sq km forest which abounds in bird life and animals such as the leopard, four horned antelope, spotted deer, sambar and even the giant brown flying squirrel ( 140 Kms) Another sanctuary is at Jaisamand which spreads around one of the largest artificial lakes of India (90 Kms).

Udai Bilas Palace is a round-the-year paradise for bird watchers. Nature lovers can also spend hours rowing on the lake or trekking in the forest to get a close look at the bird life. Bird-watching trips can also be arranged to nearby lakes.

The Juna Mahal
Unlike the more recent Udai Bilas, the Old Palace or Juna Mahal as it is locally known, is no longer occupied. It is still owned by the family and can be visited only on invitation. This seven-storied structure resembles a fortress with crenellated walls, turrets and narrow entrances and passage-ways to slow down the enemy. Inside, one will see the most colorful and vibrant palaces embellished with frescoes, miniature paintings, glass and mirror inlay work.

Bheels
Dungarpur district is the stronghold of the Bheels, a tribe whose history of occupancy in the Aravalli range is said to date back to 4000 BC. Besides visits to the many unspoiled Bheel hamlets in and around the town, you can look forward to special shows of tribal music and dancing at the palace itself.

Historical Temples
Excursions can be arranged to the 8th century AD ancient temple ruins of Arthuna ( 80 km), the 14th century temple of Rishabdeo, noted for its intricate carvings and precious stone-studded idol of Lord Kesariyaji (45 km), the impressive white marble Muslim shrine at Galiakot, the Mecca of the Bohra sect of Islam (60 kms), the 12th century temple of Deo Somnath (25 km) and many other temples in Dungarpur town itself.
