A Royal Stay at Fort Barli—Live the Heritage Fort Experience

Rising from the heart of Rajasthan, Fort Barli, a heritage fort, stands as both sentinel and storyteller. With its sandstone walls carrying the whispers of centuries, here, time is not simply remembered—it is felt. Every archway, every carved balcony, and every sun-dappled courtyard bears the mark of royal lives once lived and traditions still honoured. Yet, beyond its storied history, the fort extends an invitation to step within, slow the pace, and let its world unfold at your own rhythm.

A Living Canvas of Rajasthan’s Heritage

Built in the 16th century, Fort Barli reflects the strength and artistry of Rajput design and the legacy of local rulers. In 2006, the Late Rani Sahiba Sushila Kumari Ji of Barli restored her ancestral fort, reviving its grandeur for travellers seeking an authentic cultural experience in Rajasthan. Preserving frescoed walls, jharokhas, and carved gateways while adding modern comforts, the fort today stands as a landmark of heritage and hospitality, inviting guests to discover the timeless charm of Rajasthan.

Courtyards, Frescoes, and Starlit Evenings

Life at Fort Barli flows at an unhurried pace. Mornings begin with the call of birds and the soft light spilling across frescoed corridors. Days are spent wandering leafy courtyards, pausing by the pool set beneath ancient ramparts, or finding quiet on the rooftop terrace. At night, starlight spills across the village, and the fort glows softly, its walls keeping watch as they have for centuries.
