Ranakpur

• Accommodation

Some 90km north of Udaipur, the spectacular Jain temples at RANAKPUR boast marble work on a par with that of the more famous Dilwara shrines at Mount Abu. The temples are hidden away in a beautiful wooded valley, deep in the Aravalli Hills, that was originally gifted to the Jain community in the fifteenth century by Rana Kumbha, the Hindu ruler of Mewar.
