Dhola-ri-Dhani, an ethnic Rajasthani Resort.

“Dhola-ri-Dhani” is an “Ethnic Rajasthani Village Resort” located just 14 Kms. from our house in Secunderabad. It is on National Highway 44 (old NH 7) that is on the way to Kompally and Medchal towns. It is a wonderful place to visit in the evenings for lots of entertainment, stay until late night and return home after a nice Rajasthani dinner. As you reach Dhola-ri-Dhani, an imposing entrance welcomes you. And inside this resort every bit is a classic setting, reflecting the rustic ambience, charm and culture of a Rajasthani village with lots of modern aspects and amenities. Once you enter the resort, you are far away from Hyderabad and in Rajasthan. The above photographs will give you an idea of this marvelous place.

One can enjoy camel rides, horse rides, puppet shows, magic shows, boat rides, Rajasthani folk songs and dances here. There is an amphitheater offering a variety of entertainment, a swimming pool and facilities for disco and rain dances. There are two vegetarian restaurants. The Maan Manuhar restaurant is a Royal Rajasthani Chowki styled dining hall where Rajasthani style sumptuous thali meals is served. Above this hall on the first floor is the well decorated Sangri restaurant serving ‘A la carte’. Apart from this there are a number of facilities and packages for conferences, picnics, birthday parties, kitty parties, banquet halls and so on. There are cottages for people planning to stay there for a day or more. There is a Rajasthani handicrafts market and even a Temple complex called Panch Deva Mandir.

We enjoy going to Dhola-ri-Dhani as often as possible. The above photographs are from some of our trips there.
