Welcome to Shri Vatika Amer

For a pleasent, comfortable & homely stay

Before Jaipur was built, the capital of our Dhundhaar region lay at Amer. Nestled between the Aravali hills, and just 8 kilometres from City Palace of Jaipur; Amer is an ancient, picturesque and memorable destination in itself.

Apart from the famous and imposing 800 year old Fort, Amer also has innumerable stepwells, ancient temples, walks and treks in the Nahargarh Sanctuary area around Amer, small lakes like Maota and Sagar – the list is quite extensive.

When Amer was a living fort, there were three security walls encircling the habitation, the walls in their own right are an architectural marvel and can be discovered on a trek through the scrub forests and hills.

One of the most impressive gates is the KHERI GATE, close to SARAI BAORI stepwell. At sundown, the gates used to close and anyone approaching Amer post sundown would stay at the resthouse (sarai) with its own stepwell (baori) waiting for sunrise and an entry to the magical medieval town of Amer.

Just a kilometre from Kheri Gate lies an 800 year old Jain Temple, the Nasiyan ji of Kirti Stambh, famous because of its intricately carved pillar. There is another rather unique stepwell just across the Jain temple.

And besides this smaller stepwell, lies the orchard retreat called Shri Vatika.

Shri Vatika is a unique homestay

Well furnished 2 rooms, a large living room and well equipped kitchen ensure you are comfortable. The views of hills and battlements, security walls and buttresses ensure you have a view to cherish forever.
