Natively, I am from a small town Jhunjhunu (Shekhawati region) in Rajasthan. The best thing about Jhunjhunu is its education ration. I bet most of the Army men and officers in civil services are from Jhunjhunu only. Isn’t it so amazing??

As it is very far from city and metro cities, we lack in growth of city. No mall no theaters no brand. But my region got many beautiful ancient art from past. I can also say that, the major ancient culture and art is carried by this region. We have beautiful havelis, mahals and ancient artifacts. To find out more about these beautiful place, me and my husband explored one beautiful hotel Vivaana.

Vivaana Hotel in Rajasthan, you might have noticed the way of welcoming their guests. “Padharo Mhaare Desh” was originally invented here only. Which mean you are more than welcome in our place. In Vivaana also, I was overwhelmed by the way of welcome. They showered flowers from top and playing Nagada, was a total different experience I felt.

Highly recommended for the food, hospitality, stay. It is a perfect getaway, just 159.9km from Jaipur.

Interesting Fact about Mandawa : Mandawa is a very well known shooting destination in Bollywood. Bollywood movies like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Bajrangi Bhaijaan were shot in Mandawa.

The restaurant serves delicacies of Indian, Chinese and European cuisine with great love.

Food I love white sauce pasta. And trust me it is very hard to find a good place in and nearby Jaipur to find a good pasta. So because of taste tooth, we decided to order pasta and pizza. And guess what? This pasta is the best one I ever had in Rajasthan.
