Spend a few days in luxury at Champaner in Gujarat, 47 kilometres from Vadodara. The story of Lagaan was set in Champaner, which was a small village then. Captain Andrew Russell (Paul Blackthorne), who imposed the lagan on the villagers, was the commanding officer of the Champaner cantonment.

 

You stay at the spectacular Haveli that is more than a 100 years old. The haveli, nestled within a beautiful orchard and surrounded by hills and lakes at the foothills of Pavagadh, belonged to the erstwhile princely state of Bhamariya - Sonipur. There are peacocks roaming in the orchard.

 

The haveli has been beautifully restored to its original glory, and is today a great place to experience royal Indian heritage. The resort retains and preserves the old world charm and glory of the bygone eras. You will feel like a maharaja here. At the Champaner heritage haveli, we make you feel like a maharajah.

 

The Champaner House with its Anglo-Indian architecture has 4 Royal rooms and 8 Executive rooms. The Bhamariya House has 3 Royal rooms and 1 Executive room. Traditional decor and high-end amenities gives you a luxurious experience with a traditional feel.

 

There are three manicured lawns, spa, a swimming pool, and the multi-cuisine restaurant “Rajputana” that serves mouth-watering delicacies.

 

Champaner is the site of the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004.

 

See the Champaner Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary, Sardar Sarovar Dam, Ratan Mahal Bear Sanctuary, and Pavagadh or simply relax and feel like a maharajah.
