Explore the Qila in Mahmudabad & Bilehra
Originally built in the 17th century, some of the current buildings date to post- 1857. Get a tour of our Library, Imambadas, Sangats, Shrines, and Forts.
​
A especially curated meal will showcase our culinary traditions which have been written about by gastronomic magazines such as Saveur and Condé Nast Traveller India and documented in books like Dining with the Maharajas.
​
A visit to our workshops will offer guests a chance to see techniques of embroidery that have remained largely unchanged over generations. Qilasaaz, the label under which the clothes and textiles are produced, has produced work of such a high degree of craftsmanship that various items have been exhibited in museums around the world.
