Village Unchagaon enjoys a history as proud and colorful as the structure of The Fort Unchgaon itself. Its Jat rulers can trace back their family tree to one of the several prestigious Jat zamindaris, which came into prominence during the decline of the Mughal Empire. For years, the family held a seat of honor in western UP formerly known as the United Province during the British Raj. Along with the Sikhs, Marathas, Rohallas, Rajputs, French adventurers and the East India Company, it vied for generations to fill the vacuum left by the Mughals.
The Jat rulers of Unchagaon originally belonged to Pilana in Rajasthan. Their ancestor, Chowdhry Har Bans Singh, along with a group of followers migrated to Bahanpur in Bulandshahar district sometime during the 1740's. However, the fort came into the possession of the present family only in 1859 and that too, quite by chance. The owner, a Rajput zamindar, lost it when he went against the British during the mutiny of 1857.
The original fort was made of mud. Its walls were later replaced by brick and the old building inside the fort was totally renovated during the 1930's to give it a distinctly colonial look. But then, nothing can take away its aura of vibrant romance. Nothing can stop it from bewitching you.
The little village of Unchagaon in Uttar Pradesh is chiefly renowned for its wonderful fort, the seat of royalty for the present Raja Surendra Pal Singh. This Heritage Hotel is not only unique, but also surrounded by interesting experiences. One of these include a stroll through the colorful Saturday bazaar offering a range of exciting bric-a-brac, all the time exuding the true flavor of an Indian village in the meantime.
The private domicile of a prince, Fort Unchagaon is a marvel to watch. Its décor exudes hints of aristocracy in all its aspects. The imposing white façade of the Surya Mahal, circled with beautifully manicured lawns and flower beds, forms a lush green backdrop to the outdoors.
The ancient temple of Amantika Devi is another picturesque spot. Tucked away among the trees on the banks of river Ganges is an extremely scenic private picnic spot. The river Ganges also offers a wonderful opportunity for the sighting of Gangetic Dolphins.
This royalty is replete with natural bounty in the form of orchards and farms. Besides, one can also enjoy folk and cultural performances.
So spend your holidays so close to Delhi, sitting beneath the trees or walking idly by the Ganges- Unchagaon promises an ideal escape to 'Nature land'.
