Luxury holidays in Ajabgarh

The ancient ruins that dot Ajabgarh’s mountainous surrounds require some climbing to reach, but they’re worth the exertion. Especially the 17th-century fort in Ajabgarh village, which has a well-preserved marble exterior and majestic pillars. The views from its hilltop precipice are gasp-inducing. The surrounding area is home to the Meena tribe, known for their jewel-toned attire and elaborate adornment; and in nearby Sariska Tiger reserve, equally colourful locals prowl.
