Situated in Bharatpur (Rajasthan, India) and set amidst the sprawling 50 acres, and surrounded by undulating, yellow mustard fields, the Laxmi Vilas Palace was built for Raja Ragunath Singh, the younger brother of the then Bharatpur ruler, Maharaja Ram Singh. 

For some one to cross seven seas and come to Bharatpur there must be a reason. But the Siberian cranes won’t tell. Their almost regular arrival in Bharatpur continues to be confounding riddles. Popularly known as sibes, the cranes undertake an arduous 5000 kms long journey from Orb river basin in Siberia and arrive in Bharatpur.   

Distance :  4 km from the railway station / bus stand,  Agra (56 km, 1 hour),  Delhi (176 km, 4 hours) and Jaipur (176 km, 4 hours), Keoladeo Ghana National Park : 1 km..

Bharatpur is a weekend getaway ex-Delhi and visited as a a part of a Rajasthan Itinerary.
