Introduction : Chandra Mahal Haveli is housed in a 19th century haveli located in a quaint village of Rajasthan - Pehersar. This intriguing haveli was built by Mughal emperor Akbar's subjects who had conquered this miniscule town in the year 1699. The haveli is conspicuous by its distinct Mughal architecture and is built around an inner courtyard. The medieval balconies add to the charm of the haveli. In a matter of a few years, the Chandra Mahal Haveli has carved a niche for itself as a hotel tucked away in a remote Rajasthan village, away from the din and bustle of cities.

Accommodation : Chandra Mahal Haveli is a small hotel with just 22 rooms. It may be small in numbers but provides all the comforts that today's modern jet set traveler might crave for. Each of the rooms have a traditional Rajasthani folk ambience and are ornately done up with indigenous Rajasthani décor. Needless to say, like every aspect of life in Rajasthan, the rooms are colorful to say the least and the ambience is distinctly of medieval era Rajasthan. The elegantly appointed suites are conspicuous by their open porticos, which provide discrete privacy. The traditional Rajasthani swing or "jhulas" as they are referred to in the local parlance are provided in the porticos.

Dining: Although the dining options may not be many, only continental and Indian cuisines are served. The chefs do a wonderful job and the food does taste really good. Try out the traditional Rajasthani fare. They are lip-smacking good.

Recreation : As dusk descends on the quaint village of Mandawa, the stage is set in Chandra Mahal Haveli to an enchanting evening of folk music and dance. A visit to the world famous Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is high on the agenda of most visitors to the Haveli. For the culturally inclined, a village safari is just the thing to indulge in.
