I often wonder why people don't ever get enough of the ubiquitous resort-kind-of-vacation. I get a sense that in a world that is fast becoming homogenised, city dwellers looking for breaks often seek a 'standard' hotel or resort with a 'standard' star-rating, facilities and a standard list of things-to-do. Places where they won't run into surprises. What amazes me even... More

On first sight Fort Rampura doesn't look very different from similar erstwhile "fighting" forts in Bundelkhand or in Rajasthan but a dramatic entrance involving a steep plunge to the level of the moat followed by an equally steep incline to enter the fort proper, gives the first hint that this place is unique. The rooms are simply & tastefully done... More

Having stayed with Keshu, Padmini and Avi from 22 to 25 February 2013, we can fully endorse previous reviews of this delightful, historical property. Everything is included in the tariff: meals, snacks, drinks and excursions. Our room on the rooftop was spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished and airy with a modern bathroom and superb views over the surrounding countryside. Jackals calling... More

And as with all good surprises, one should never give away too much. Because in fact I find that I'm torn, as I'm writing this review, between the desire to share... More

We stayed in the fort in October 2010. We found it through trip advisor and didn't really know what we will get but what we got exceeded all our possible most crazy expectations! The fort is really old and maintained by a single family for hundreds of years. This is a way to see the history of India with real... More

I went 3 times in Fort Rampura. First one was in november 2007. I think, I have discovered a jewel in the heart of traditionnal India. Fort Rampura is a wonderful and authentic fort wich is tastefully renovated. All the rooms are beautiful and very clean. Everything in the living-rooms remind you the maharaja's time: furniture, trophys ... But the... More

Fort Rampura was a fantastic experience for us. We stayed for 2 nights in February when the weather was perfect and the countryside was busy and beautiful. We travelled by train to Etawah from Delhi and were then picked up in a car for the 2 hour drive to the Fort. Padmini and Keshavendra Singh own the fort and they... More
