PROLOGUE
- Ranked #1 Specialty Lodging in Ranakpur
Mountbatten Lodge is an intimate luxurious retreat nestled within the Aravalli landscape of Ranakpur. Designed for those who seek privacy, authenticity, and understated luxury, the lodge invites guests to experience beautifully curated suites, immersive dining, leisure pools, forest encounters near Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary, and moments of stillness that have become increasingly rare. It is not simply a destination—it is a slower, richer way of experiencing Rajasthan.
LODGE PHILOSOPHY
A Private Wilderness. A Living Legacy.
- 7 Suites
- 4 Main Wing
- 3 Edwina Villa
Mountbatten Lodge is not a hotel in the conventional sense. It is a seven-suite sanctuary — unhurried, intimate, and wholly singular — set within a rugged valley in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan, on the edge of the Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary.
Said to bear the name of Lord Mountbatten himself, who is rumoured to have camped in this valley, the Lodge carries a century of story in its stones. Today, under the care of its owners, it remains one of Rajasthan’s most quietly extraordinary addresses — a place where leopard tracks cross the garden path, where ancient Jain temples rise from the forest, and where the only itinerary that matters is the one written by the landscape.
Ideally positioned between Udaipur (approximately two hours by road) and Jodhpur (approximately three hours), the Lodge is both a destination in its own right and the finest stop on any offbeat Rajasthan journey.

The Valley
Cradled within the folds of the Aravalli Hills, Mountbatten Lodge offers a rare sense of seclusion where the landscape sets the pace. Mornings arrive with birdsong, evenings soften into golden light, and every view invites you to slow down. The valley isn't simply what surrounds the lodge—it becomes part of your stay.
The Heritage
Inspired by timeless architecture and layered with stories of Rajasthan, Mountbatten Lodge brings together handcrafted interiors, natural stone, curated art, and enduring design. Every corridor, room, and gathering space reflects a quiet elegance that honours the past while embracing contemporary comfort.
The Wilderness
Here, the wilderness is not something you visit—it's something you live alongside. Ancient banyans, forest trails, native birds, and the possibility of encountering wildlife create an experience deeply connected to nature. It is a place where silence is meaningful, the air feels lighter, and every moment draws you closer to the wild.
ACCOMMODATION — MAIN WING
The Main Wing
Four generously proportioned suites, each opening onto the valley, the gardens, or the ancient tree canopy that frames the Lodge. The Main Wing is the historic heart of Mountbatten Lodge — where the fireplaces burn through winter evenings, where the personal valet anticipates every need, and where the boundary between interior and landscape is deliberately, beautifully thin.
