Ramgarh
is located at a distance of 25kms from the city of Jaipur. In the
present day, this primeval spot is eminent for its huge artificial lake.
This lake has been shaped by raising a high bund amidst the hills
covered with trees. In the rainy season, when the lake gets inundated
with water, people come in large numbers for a picnic. Ramgarh Lake is
around 4 kms in length and 2 kms in width, big enough to please the
crowds. Ramgarh is a place of royal past that boasts of a majestic hunting lodge. However, the lodge has been converted into a gateway hotel with the changing times. The wrecks of the ancient fort still remind one of its old days when the Kachhawah's first settled here before moving on to Amer. Even today, the temple of Jamwa Mata attracts the tourists for its magnificent architecture. Every year, people from far and near come to visit the place.
Another attraction at Ramgarh is the Polo grounds, located between the Aravalli Hills and Ramgarh Lake. This Ground is considered as India's best Polo ground. Finely groomed, this ground has the best trained horses unlike anywhere. At present, though the original structures are in ruins, still the beautiful scenery of Ramgarh, makes it a relaxing picnic spot and worth a visit.
