History

The location of Bambora, 45 km from the city of lakes, Udaipur and off the highway which connects Ahmedabad to Chittogarh makes it accessible from many directions and vice versa. Places of interest abound in the vicinity notably Jaisamand, the largest man made lake in the region built a few centuries ago. The touches of opulence from a regal and indulgent past heighten the romantic appeal of this fort where the modern amenities are cloaked in colourful, vibrant and welcoming hues.
