Guest Reviews

"

We had the most wonderful stay at Kot Dunara. The hosts, Ajai and Sandhya, were so warm and welcoming and truly made us feel like their personal guests. They have done an excellent job converting the ancient Kot — clearly a genuine passion project. Strongly recommend for anyone who wants to learn about local culture and history.
