Neemrana is an ancient historical town in Rajasthan’s Alwar district in India. Neemrana Fort-Palace is one of the oldest heritage resorts in India that was built in 1464 AD. It is situated 122 Kms away from Delhi on Delhi-Jaipur highway. It became the third capital of the descendants of Prithviraj Chauhan III, who was killed in battle by Mohammad Ghori in 1192 AD. This picturesque site was chosen by Raja Rajdeo and Neemrana derived its name from a brave local chieftain Nimola Meo, who when defeated by the Chauhans, pleaded that his name be given to his lost kingdom. Chauhans ruled this 14th century site of hill-fort till 1947. The erstwhile ruling family considered being the direct lineage of Prithviraj Chauhan, being unable to maintain the fort after abolition of privy purses sold the fort to the group, Neemrana Hotels, that has converted it into a heritage hotel.
