Neemrana is the place where I wanted to go from the day I heard about Flying Fox Adventure. It was the major attraction for me to visit this place. So I was after my husband’s life to go there over a weekend…..

We went in Mar, which is not a good season to travel as the day gets quite hot. Luckily, the weather was pleasant during our visit to this place.

We preferred to drive down in our own car and stayed here for 1 night, 2 days. It was a 3-hour drive. We reached the hotel at around 1 PM, and after lunch, we went to visit the Fort, which is actually a major attraction for tourists. There, we got to know that – the time to enter the fort is before 2 PM if you are not staying there.

We didn’t stay here as rooms available were way too expensive. So we preferred to stay in the hotel “Tree House Dwarka.” Decent hotel with average food and service. I have visited the Tree House property situated on Jaipur highway, so I was expecting much more from this hotel. But overall hotel is nice and comfortable to stay. The staff is also very cordial.

So, we just walked around outside the fort and did some photo sessions with raw nature and the camels.

In the evening, we enjoyed quiet time at our hotel as there was not much to do in Neemrana. All the activities/places to visit are around the Fort. Staying in the hotel that evening actually gave us an opportunity to spend some good/fun time together with each other and our cutie-pie kid (generally, we get too busy in our individual routine life)

The next day, early morning after checkout, we went to Fort as we had booked for our flying fox sessions.

First, let me talk about the fort – The fort has maintained its ancient look and feel. The walk to the main entrance gate from the parking was a very steep walk. It gave us all together a historical feeling. We walked/visited the entire fort. The fort provides ample opportunities for photo lovers to click and pose.

There was nothing extraordinary or unique thing that we missed by not staying inside the fort. The only thing I felt was – it would have given the satisfaction to stay in a fort where maharajahs used to stay.

Flying Fox Adventure

Coming to my adventure activity for which i went there – flying fox or zipping. I booked the first session for the activity. It is advisable to book online as one can get a good discount. The overall time to complete the activity usually takes 1.30 hrs – 2 hrs, depending upon the size of the group. We were a group of 7 pax, so took 1.30 hrs only to complete.

The activity starts with a 20-30-minute trek on the Aravali mountain. After reaching the top, our guide gave us training on what needed to be done, followed by a practice session. There are a total of 5 zips. The second one is the longest (400 m), followed by the first one (330 m), which gives the best view of the valley. Luckily i carried my phone, so was able to click good pictures. One needs to book in advance if you want a video of your tour, else there is no photograph or video available.

Vintage Car Ride

Post the activity we had lunch and booked for a vintage car ride.  I must say sitting in that car is definitely an experience. Sitting behind is more fun than sitting in front (I tried both options). The royal feeling comes (like a king/queen) when you sit behind, and the car is driven by a chauffeur.

Our tour came to an end as we headed back to our home.

It was a good break from the fast-paced/monotonous life that we live in big cities.

Attraction/Things to do here: –.The Fort (if interested in history),  Flying Fox/Zipping (if you are adventurous type), Vintage Car Ride, Camel Ride/Cart

Best time to Visit – Sep – Mar (summers is not a good option to visit this place, as it gets super hot during the daytime, although Mar is also a little hot to travel but can be managed)
