It is in this beautiful city of Jaisalmer that the Gorbandh Palace is ideally located. The very
name of this Royal Retreat is inspired by the desert and its
associated stories. Gorbandh is a harness which the
desert women decorate for their husband's camel with any
material they can find such as cowry shells, beads, sequins,
coloured threads and even buttons. It is a matter of pride for
women to deck their husband's camels out in the most splendid
way possible as a mark of respect for this majestic working
beast and for the men who rely on their strength and aptitude in
the undulating sands of the desert.
In this luxurious Royal Retreat
you can enjoy all modern-day amenities in an authentic
Rajasthani ambience. The retreats lush greenery, fountains,
state of the art spa and the blue waters of its swimming pool
create a tranquil haven from the heat and dust of the desert
city. Also nearby are the famous Sam sand dunes, where you can
party or stay overnight.
