Top Places to Visit in Rohet
Rohet may be a small village, but it offers a lot in terms of heritage, natural beauty, and cultural charm. From royal havelis to village trails and nearby forts, every place has a story to tell.
Rohet Garh Haveli

Village Safari
The village safari gives you a chance to watch village life up close. Organized by Rohet Garh, this signature experience takes you to nearby Bishnoi, Rajput, and Brahmin villages. Here, you’ll see rural life up close with traditional homes, local rituals, and if you are lucky, maybe even an opium ceremony. It’s authentic, respectful, and deeply enriching with personal and memorable interactions.
Marwari Horse Stables
Now, it’s time for you to see why this city is famous for breeding the majestic Marwari horses. They are known for their royal lineage and curved ears, but you may find other things too while you are there. As a guest, you can visit the stables and learn about the breed’s history. Of course, you can even go horse riding through scenic trails and desert terrain.
Rohet Lake
This small lake next to Rohet Garh is lovely. It’s perfect for early morning walks or birdwatching, as you will find local and migratory birds near the lake. Witness spellbinding sunrises and sunsets during the golden hours and watch the haveli’s mesmerizing reflection on the still waters, which is great if you’re a photography enthusiast.
Chanwa Fort, Luni
25 km from Rohet, this red sandstone fort is another restored heritage property. The best part is that it is less crowded than Jodhpur’s forts but gives a glimpse into the local architecture. So, it’s definitely worth a half-day trip.
