Neemrana Fort-Palace is located on a small hill in the Aravallis, midway between Delhi and Jaipur. It is a15th century fort, 2hours drive from Delhi. Lovely terrace, courtyards and poolside. Spread across a hill, it requires some walking and climbing. The Neemrana Fort-Palace began its life in 1464, built by the famous Rajput  warrior-king  Prithviraj  Chauhan. Restoration began in 1986, and in 1991  it became a heritage hotel.There’s an open air amphitheatre where concert or plays are held. You can climb up the rooftop to soak in the starlight and marvel at the views of the surrounding countryside.

There are some beautiful activities such the 2-hour Zipline Package involves 20-minutes walkup from the fort, a bit of training and safety instruction, and the actual zipping for a distance of up to 400m.

The other activities include a 1-km walk to an 18^th-century stepwell that descends nine storeys below the ground. You can also do the trip in a camel cart. There is a gym (free of cost) and a spa that offers  Ayurvedic massages and therapies like reflexology.

Winter is the best season when you can soak in the sun. During the monsoon, the countryside becomes lush green. Summers are very hot.
