Destination Features

There are several hotels located within 300 meters from the gate of the national park. This landmark is called Saras chowk, because of the RTDC hotel by the same name. This point is on the Agra – Jaipur highway and is located some 4 -5 km from the Bharatpur railway station. If you are visitng Bharatpur as tourist, then you should come to this Saras chowk. To my estimate, there are around 10 hotels here. Most of the hotels are on either side of the highway and few on the roads radiating out of Saras chowk. Therefore you can easily explore all options and then decide. You can easily find accommodation here and it is not very costly either. In fact you will get room from 300 upwards in this area. I had stayed at the Hotel Pratap Palace on two occasions as it provides best value for money. The Sunbird Inn turns out to be the costliest in that area.  

Do not book online as rate quoted on the net are very high and also you lose the option of on the spot selection.

There also is an Ashoka group hotel, by the name Bharatpur Ashok, located right inside the park. This is an ITDC Hotel and is costly, in fact very costly.

Accommodation at Bharatpur:

Most of the places to stay are along Dr Salim Ali Road, which runs from Bharatpur town to the entrance of the Park.
