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.
