Hotel Jamuna Resort

Rajasthan


Hotel Jamuna Resort has everything the traveller needs for a bargain price. The rooms in the older wing are either vibrantly painted with murals or decorated with traditional mirrorwork, while the rooms in the newer wing are modern and airy. There’s an inviting pool (₹100 for nonguests) set in the garden, plus purpose-built kitchens set up for in-house cooking courses.

The friendly family owning and managing the hotel have a wealth of knowledge on the villages of Shekhawati and tours can be organised here. Free pickup from the train or bus stations can be arranged.
