Heritage Hotels in Tonk

Tonk - Introduction

Situated 100 Kms from Jaipur, Tonk is an old town dating to the middle of the 17th century, resurrects a forgotten era. The new town is a colourful medley of painted mosques, mansions and colonial buildings.

The Sunehri Kothi, or Golden Mansion, is particularly lovely, noted for its mirror work. It is a small palace decorated profusely with mother-of-pearl, gold, and many other precious and semi-precious stones.

The Arabic & Persian Research Institute and Toda Rai Singh Town are two other attractions in this district. Tonk does not have its own railway station and airport, but its location on a National Highway connects it with Jaipur and other major places in Rajasthan easily. It can be considered as a good stopover, if you are moving towards Ranthambore National Park from Jaipur.
