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..
Today we
operate with excellence, the Narayan Niwas Palace, The Jaisal
Castle, Jaisal Tours and the Narayan Bagh Resort, geared towards
providing the ultimate Thar experience.
