Luxury holidays in Bhangarh
Don’t be fooled by Bhangarh’s idyllic surrounds; hailed as the most haunted place in India, Bhangarh Fort has a graveyard’s worth of ghost stories to its name. One legend tells of a local ascetic who warned the king that if the palace’s shadow fell over his home, he’d wreak destruction on the fort and all who lived in it. His words went unheeded, and the prophecy came true. Now deserted, the ghost village and fort are officially off limits to the public (even cattle can’t graze there) between sunset and sunrise, when the haunting commences. But fear not, intrepid travellers, day-time visits are more than pleasant. And, if you do happen to find yourself wandering around after twilight, who ya gonna call? Smith-busters – we’ll find you a luxurious hotel nearby…
