Located in Central India's Bundelkhand region, the village resort is about 3 km from Chanderi. Chanderi may be famous for its silks, but Pranpur wraps itself around your senses definitively. Luring you into its folds, the village life undulates at its relaxed, languorous pace, securely holding you in its peaceful, undisturbed existence. And what better way than the Amraee Rural Resort to choose as your home base as you soak up your senses in Madhya Pradesh’s rural landscape and live among the locals, alternatively learning something new and surrendering to the peace and languid pace of the place.
Set in the middle of a mango orchard, the Amraee Rural Resort enjoys a picturesque setting which provides an excellent introduction to what visitors can expect on a visit here.
The resort derives its name from its surroundings. Amraee means a mango orchard. It’s nod to responsible tourism is evident in its herbal and organic kitchen garden among several other things. The resort also has a conference room that doubles as a museum of Chanderi metal work and pottery.
A visit to Amraee will not just provide an escape from the raciness of city life, but will enable you to discover a new old world, one that will pull you in with its earthiness and historic charm. A stay here presents you with the perfect opportunity to interact with the weavers and watch magic unfold in front of your eyes as cloth is transformed into clothes. You can even get one of your very own choice and design. For those who are not content to just watch, can try their hand at the weaving themselves. It will, of course be a matter of chance if you intend to sell it! The resort in particular and Pranpur are ideal spots for a reprieve of city life and urban chaos. There is much to do here to keep yourself occupied.
The daily routine of the villagers from dawn to dusk is enough to keep the most hardened city native fascinated, and the historic Chanderi city is a delight for those intrigued by this old old city’s past. Enjoy the folk tales hidden in the heart of Bundelkhand and surrender to folk music and lively dances of another India!
