THE FACTS ABOUT DUNDLOD CASTLE
India

Some people think it rather sad but this beautiful medieval castle (formerly two hotels) was recently renovated to a high standard. Despite modifications, the Durbar Hall, which survives with original frescos, is fantastic. Riding to towns in the area is recommended.
