ESCAPE
A
meticulously restored 19th
century Shekhawati Haveli,
Vivaana Culture Hotel,
Mandawa, Rajasthan, makes for a rare
history-soaked stay experience.
Lovingly restored by the Khanna family
who are passionate about protecting
the legacy of bygone eras, the twin
havelis that form a part of the hotel
evoke the aura of warm Rajasthani

this place are the picturesque frescoes
depicting mythological and historical
themes—bringing the place alive with
their aged countenance. The property

dining, and The
Elephant House Spa,
and numerous activities
to keep you occupied

by taking a camel cart
ride into a truly ruralsetting. Or opt instead for a mountain

the hotel’s truly mesmerising history
with the Vivaana Walkthrough. Or
have the management arrange a kite-
lying session when the skies are clear
and blue. Evenings here are best
enjoyed with live cultural puppet shows
and folk music sessions, while later
you can attempt to sing a few numbers
as the bar ofers karaoke. Vivaana is
also a place where there will be no
distractions at all—no TVs in the
rooms, perfect to experience deep
