Balsamand Lake and Palace
The beautiful Balsamand Lake and Palace is at a distance of 5 km from the main center of Jodhpur. It is situated on the Mandore road and adds up to a magnificent sight with its red sandstone façade. Built in the famed Rajputana style of architecture, the Balsamand Lake Palace is one of the most beautiful attractions of Jodhpur. A visit to this grand relic of Rajasthan's glorious past transports you to an era that was defined by elegance and grandeur all the way. Numerous palatial structures adorn the Balsamand Lake Palace that can easily be touted as an architectural marvel of sorts.
The palace sprawls on an area of 300 acres on the banks of the Balsamand Lake. A number of fruit groves dot the banks of the historic Balsamand Lake in thick clusters, thus offering a very pleasant sight. It must be mentioned that the Balsamand Lake Palace was constructed somewhere in the early 16th century and used to serve as a summer retreat for the royal Marwar family.
Cutting back to the present, the Balsamand Lake Palace has been converted into a fine heritage hotel that boasts of excellent services to its guests. However, adequate care has been taken to keep the hotel's original features intact.
As you relax on the banks of the beautiful Balsamand Lake, enjoy the sight of birds descending upon the lake and stir up a cacophony that surprisingly sounds very pleasant to the ears. However, it must be noted that the picturesque Balsamand is a manmade lake that was built in 1159.
