Samode is situated 45 kms from Jaipur, the capital of
Rajasthan. This small village is famous for its Samode Palace and Samode
Bagh. Prithviraj Singh ji of Amber, the seventeenth Prince of the house of
Kachhawaha Rajputs, had awarded Samode to one of his twelve sons, Gopal
Singhji, along with the hereditary title of Rawal Saheb. The palace is
full of architectural delights - the paintings on the walls of Sultan
Mahal, the dinning room with its stained glass windows, the Durbar Hall
with its painted ceilings and intricately carved walls. The ornate
interiors are a fine example of the Rajput haveli architecture. It is
worth a visit to Samode Palace. (… india-tours)

special feature of the stay here is the accommodation being provided in
the tents. Meeting point at the Bagh is the elegantly furnished Durbar
tent. Dune coloured tents, all luxuriously furnished with every comfort,
the lawns, fruit trees, grape vines, and the flowering shrubs make the

dances in the magic of a camp fire. One can swim in the private pool or
take camel rides to explore the countryside. Other entertainment
activities available here include camel safaris, a visit to the village
and the Samode Palace which is just 3 km away
