the people of Rajasthan exhibit courage, valour and simplicity in living. And to see this matchless combination of historical monuments, their royal legacy and cultural heritage, people from all over the world pour in large numbers, and visit every little big town in this glorious state of India. One such town is Ranakpur which is visited more than any other town of its size by the people from India and abroad. To accommodate this flock of tourists in every season, many Ranakpur resorts have been built in this area, some within the bounds of this small city, some outside, in its periphery. Mana Hotel is one resort which is situated in the outer bounds of this town, but at a very close, just 5 minutes’ drive to the major attraction of Ranakpur, The Ranakpur Jain Temple.

Ranakpur Jain Temple is one of the oldest Temple and is revered by all the Jainism followers in India and abroad. For others, it is a sacred place of worship and a magnificent marvellous monument, which belittles almost everything that it is compared with. Apart from the Ranakpur Jain Temple, there are other Ranakpur tourist places as well, which attract the visitors for being one of a kind. The main attractions of Ranakpur include Ranakpur Dam, Thandi Beri, and Surya Narayan Temple, Tirthankara Trail, Muchhal Mahavir Temple and many more places. To make it more interesting, Mana Hotels include a few of the local flavours in the visit of its guests. These include the trip to the local farmer’s market, ride on the heritage train, visit to the Raika homes (camel rearing tribe), Camel Charisma (small scale industry), and Aarogyadham (local Ayurveda health clinic with professional medical practitioners).

However, being one of the famous tourist spots in Rajasthan, Ranakpur sightseeing is not limited to the bounds of this little town. People move out a few kilometres outside to visit Kumbhalgarh, which is also a monumental tourist spot in this area. In reference to the Ranakpur Jain Temple, it was the ruler of Mewar, Rana Kumbha, the businessman, Dharna (or Dharanka) Shah, and the architect, Deepaka of Kumbhalgarh, who sourced funds, conceptualized, and designed, respectively, and built this magnificent temple. The fortress of the Mewar Ruler Rana Kumbha, called Kumbhalgarh Fort is another major tourist spot for those who visit Ranakpur. Along with the fort, there is an attached forest area, which is now protected by the government of India and called Kumbhalgarh National Park, is another place very popular among the tourists. The diversity of wildlife and the thrill of wildlife safari make the trip to this place worth the effort. Moreover, the place is also developed for trekking by the tourists, which adds to the adventure in Ranakpur. Mana Hotels bring an amazing experience to this place and make it even more exciting and interesting for its tourists.
