Nestled in the serene village of Dhundhara, Kot Dunara is an 800-year-old heritage fortress transformed into an intimate homestay. In 1835, Thakur Bhabhoot Singh of Pokharan was bestowed the jagir of Dunara and restored the grand entrance to where it stands today.


Spread across an acre, the property features 4 guestrooms, two lovely gardens, a swimming pool, and welcoming common spaces — offering an indwelling experience of Rajasthan's warm hospitality and rich culture.

Guest Reviews

"

We had the most wonderful stay at Kot Dunara. The hosts, Ajai and Sandhya, were so warm and welcoming and truly made us feel like their personal guests. They have done an excellent job converting the ancient Kot — clearly a genuine passion project. Strongly recommend for anyone who wants to learn about local culture and history.
