Castle Pachar
ShekkawatiRajasthan.

Castle Pachar Shekkawati - The resort is surrounded by sand dunes on one side and Ganpat jheel on the other. Pachar is an excellent hideout for a pleasant holiday. Potters working on their wheels, mojdi (shoe) makers and weavers singing Rajasthani popular tunes as they work can be observed at close quarters.

The village of Pachar was gifted to Thakur Guman Singhji by the maharaja of Jaipur in recognition of his bravery in the battle of Maonda against Raja Jawaharmal of Bharatpur.The descendents of Thakur Guman Singhji have now thrown open their castle residence for tourists. Rang Mahal is the hub of activity of the castle. It is colorfully decorated with family portraits, paintings and arms. It is quite different from anything else in other castles of Rajasthan.

 Restaurant
 
DEEWAN - E - KHAS

The Deewan-e-khas (dining room) is a large hall divided into two portions by elevations. The pillars are decorated in traditional style and ambience. The cuisine is mainly Rajasthani except the breakfast, which is more or less continental. Use of excess cooking oil and spices is very carefully controlled. The choice of dishes has been made in keeping with family food tradition and making it palatable to foreign taste. Naturally, there are the lovely pickles and chutneys to add flavor.

RANG MAHAL

The Rang Mahal is the lifeline of the castle colorfully decorated with family portraits, paintings, arms and comfortable furniture. This is one place guests will never tire of being in to relax. It is a three-tier affair, the large hall, the elevated sitout and a further elevated portion that houses the family temple. The pillars add a distinct stamp and the wooden railing above beautifies the premises. It is very different from anything else in the castles of Rajasthan

CAMEL RIDE

The village of Pachar is still traditional, one of the few in shekhawati. There is no major industry, except for a sawmill. Magnificient 'mojdi' makers, potters and weavers; plus the daily routine of farming community make Pachar a place to wander around.
Add to this the wonderful sandy belt extending to the temple of khatu shyamji - 10 kms away, where one can take a ride or do a jeep safari. There is ample to do and yet be relaxed, free from crowds, sound of vehicles and pollution.
