The Second Best Hotel in the World and the best in the world

OK so you think that I am bragging. Well after you vies the following pictures, see if you agree and we can now say that we stayed there. Now I don’t know if they have ever stayed at my house or yours, but Travel and Leisure magazine did a survey and The Oberoi Rajvilas, Japur got the most positive nods! Take a look at these photos and turn green. This was the views of our doorway when we registered. We had a gigantic bedroom with a bathroom that was dream like.

Above is our view in the morning from the front porch and below is our pathway from our front door to the rest of the facility





The property housed an active 260 year old temple to the Hindu god Shiva with its own holy man who chanted after the sun went down and kindly gave the red dot or bindi to all willing to accept. We got ours as well as some “sacred” string wrapped around our wrists, in FSU COLORS



The restaurant was absolutly delightful. We ate on a patio surrounded with gas torches and in which Indian musicians are playing traditional Indian instruments. Our servers were all dressed in magnificant saris and all men worn turbans. The food was filled with tastes pretty unfamilar to western tastes but wonderful.






Swimming pool vs. our bath – tough choice Huh?
