Shikarbadi Hotel, Udaipur

Location
Built in the 1930’s, Shikarbadi, as the name suggests was the private hunting lodge of the Mewar Royal family. Located on the fringe of Udaipur city it is spread over 250 acres. Shikarbadi lies at the foothills of the Aravali mountain range. In 1976 this erstwhile hideaway was converted into a hotel. Before that, Shikarbadi was the private residence of Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar, the 76th custodian of the House of Mewar and the current Chairman and Managing Director of the HRH Group of Hotels.
Attached to the hotel are a deer park and a wildlife reserve, one of the few exclusive and naturally abundant wildlife reserves in the State of Rajasthan.
