The year was 1970
when Maharaja Mahendra Singh Ji Pioneered the Hospitality business in
Jaisalmer by starting the Jaisal Castle Hotel at 12 room Hotel in
Jaisalmer Fort which was built in 1165 A.D. It was from here that began
the new world famous concept of the "Golden Thar Experience.
Rawal Jaisal, a
descendent of the Yadav Clan and a Bhati Rajput, laid the foundation of
this city in 1156 A.D.. Trikuta was the hill chosen and Jaisal abandoned
his old fort at Lodurva and established this new capital. The Bhati
Rajputs of Jaisalmer were feudal chiefs who lived on the forced levy on
the caravans that crossed their territory en-route Delhi. These
caravans, laden with precious cargoes of spices and silk brought great
wealth to this town. Because of its remote location, Jaisalmer for years
remained untouched by outside influences and during the British raj, the
rulers of Jaisalmer were the last to sign the instrument of agreement
with the British.
This included apart from traditional royal hospitality and
entertainment, camel safaris and desert camps. As word of our excellence
spread across the world the need arose to expand and this, in 1980
resulted in the restoration of a 130 year old ancestral Place belonging
to Maharaja Shivdan Singh Ji in to Jaisalmer's first deluxe heritage
Hotel Narayan Niwas Palace, named after Maharaja Narayan Singh Ji,
father of Maharaja Mahendra Singh Ji. This today is the flagship of not
only the company but the entire hospitality industry of Jaisalmer..
