Kuchaman Village In Rajasthan

Founded by Thakur Zalim Singh in 1781 AD, Kuchaman is a small village known for its impressive fort that has been converted into a grand heritage hotel today। Untouched by the forces of commercialization, Kuchaman exists in a state of blissful ignorance.

Kuchaman is a small village known for its impressive fort that has been converted into a grand heritage hotel today. Founded by Thakur Zalim Singh in 1781 AD,Untouched by the forces of commercialization, Kuchaman exists in a state of blissful ignorance.

In fact, Kuchaman is a wonderful place where you can observe the rural population of Rajasthan at its colorful and charming best.

Perched atop a 1000 ft high cliff, the Kuchaman Fort is the most important attraction of Kuchaman village. Converted into a heritage hotel now, the fort displays a rich collection of original inlay work in semi-precious stones, glass and gold paint.

The Sheesh Mahal (glass palace) is a sight to marvel at. Meanwhile, a colorful bazaar located below the fort is a great place to shop for handicrafts and fabrics.
