13 Holi Weekend Getaways From Delhi To Visit & Have The Best Time

Founded in 1611 AD, Kishangarh is a heritage town located about 72 km away from Ajmer; this is where you’ll find Phool Mahal Palace which has been converted into a luxury heritage hotel. The location is pretty stellar—right at the brink of Gundalao Lake and with the Kishangarh Fort as its backdrop. Plus, imagine spending the festival of Holi at this sun-struck palace. Sounds pretty cool!

The rooms have been done up with antiques and colonial furniture to retain that old-world charm. If you do end up going there, we suggest you check out Studio Kishangarh, which is an art initiative by the princess of Kishangarh to revive the Kishangarh style of painting.

This is one of the best Holi weekend getaways from Delhi where you're guaranteed to have an authentic experience since it is a royal residence. The rooms are traditional in style, so think of high ceilings, pillars, and ornate motifs. As for entertainment, knock yourself out with rooftop dinners, horseback and jeep safaris, or if you're a firm when in Rome believer, then a camel for all the sightseeing. Your host is an avid horseman, so we recommend skipping the camel ride and doing horseback instead.
