## Our read

Mihir Garh is worth the journey because the stay is nine suites on a named dune, built with the region's craftsmen, and the day is the village safari the family has run since 1988. A Jodhpur city hotel is another booking.

## Come here for

- Travellers who want a dune fort of nine suites, not a palace in town
- People who will take the village safari as the point of the stay
- Riders who can sit a Marwari in English tack, October to March

## Skip it if

- You want a Jodhpur city hotel with shops at the door.
- You need a printed nightly rate and a large spa. The spa here is two rooms in a walled garden.

## The place

Mihir Garh, the Fort of the Sun, stands on Mali Nathji ka Dhora, a dune the owners name as dedicated to the warrior god of Marwar. The official page is written in the first person: Rashmi and her husband conceived the fort on that dune, and more than a hundred carpenters, craftsmen and artisans from the region built it over two years. It opened in 2009. There are nine suites, each more than 1,700 square feet. Ground-floor Alishan suites have a private courtyard and plunge pool. First-floor Shandar suites have a terrace and jacuzzi. Village women from Khandi and Haji made the fireplaces with cow dung and clay. Furnishings were bought in the Jodhpur region. The published signature is the village safari, which the family says they pioneered in 1988: homes of Bishnoi, Raika, Paliwal and Meghwal families, and the blackbuck that stay near Bishnoi land. There is a Marwari stable, a spa of two treatment rooms in a walled garden using organic and Ayurvedic products from desert plants, an infinity pool looking over the countryside, royal picnics, shikar dinners, birding by bicycle, and cookery from the late Thakurani Jayendra Kumari's recipes, now taught by Rashmi Singh. Rainwater is collected in a cistern. Grey and black water are treated. Solar heating supplies hot water. The fort is listed as 64 km from the airport.
