Location |
The tranquil waters of
the Sardar Samand lake beckon countless varieties of
migratory birds as well as tourists who come to
savour the peace and quit of the place. On your way
to Sardar Samand from Jodhpur, you can look forward
to spotting the wildlife of this region, which
boasts of blackbuck and the nilgai. The route also
passes through villages of the fascinating Bishnoi
community, known for their abiding concern and
practice of environmental conservation.
Sardar Samand Palace is a superb art deco hunting
lodge built by H.H. Maharaja Umaid Singh in 1933.
All the original features have been retained. The
expansive grounds and gardens offer delightful
walks. It overlooks a large lake teeming with bird
life – flamingos, pelicans, duck, geese, cranes and
kingfishers. The lake resort affords one of the most
breathtaking views of the lake. A well-maintained
palace, the rooms here are tastefully furnished with
all modern amenities. A lakeside swimming pool
completes the pictures
