Status: Operates as a hotel; not a ticketed public monument.
15th-century hillside fort-palace on the Delhi–Jaipur highway, now a heritage hotel; access for non-guests is controlled.
Neemrana was built in 1464 by Chauhan descendants and was restored from ruins from the 1980s into a terraced heritage hotel. Its fourteen levels of palace wings, courtyards and hanging gardens step down the hill. It is about 120 km from Delhi, making it a popular weekend getaway. It is a private hotel, not a public monument, and a zipline operates on the property.

Tips
