The hotel is great. Excellent breakfast, area around the pool is very nice. The air is much, much cleaner than the rest of India and it doesn't stink. The air is drier (3000' msl).

The hotel can set you up with a tour of the area. Descent tour with the obligatory stop at a carpet and jewelry shop. There is a golf course across the street, $40-50 a round including a caddie.

Not much right around the hotel, but overall its a nice layover. Its still India but its the best layover in the country. YMMV.
