Unexplored Weekend Getaways

Located 34 kms. north of Bharatpur , Deeg is known for its palaces and gardens. The rulers here have followed the care and planning that went into the Mughal Gardens. Built by Suraj Mahl in the mid-18th century, Deeg was formerly the second capital of Bharatpur state and the site of a famous battle in which the maharaja’s forces successfully withstood a combined Mughal and Maratha army of some 80,000 men. Now, it is a small town with agriculture as its main focus, but the tourist would enjoy visiting the well preserved and laid out palace pavilions. Gopal Bhawan overlooking the Gopal Sagar, Nand Bhawan, Krishna Bhawan and the ingeniously designed waterworks of the Keshav Bhawan are of interest here.

Deeg’s massive walls (up to 28mts. high) and 12 bastions, some with their cannons still in place, are also worth exploring. The fort and pleasure palace are of major architectural import...
