This is a must see location in India. It is such an impressive building which still houses the royal family today and is partly converted into a 6 star hotel. You can enter the grounds for a very small fee and that gives you entry into the museum part of the palace. The vintage cars are fabulous. This grand hotel is not open to the general public unless you have paid to stay overnight or pay a cover charge of $100.00 pp for a drink, tea or coffee. When a new guest arrives the drummers greet them with great zest from the entrance balcony above and is a delight to witness. It must alert all staff to come to attention before the guest exits their car.
The grounds are beautifully manicured however, the public toilets are horrific and this aspect really spoils the sense of grandeur. Well worth a visit to get a better understanding of the history behind this family and their achievements.
