The General's Retreat
About Somewhere to rest, a little bit of quiet, a little bit of peace...The General's Retreat. Built in the early nineteen sixties by the Late General K Umrao Singh, The General's Retreat was to serve as his post retirement sanctuary. Designed by a French Architect, it is a perfect blend of the old and the new.
Resting on part of the sprawling Chomu estate, it is in the heart of Jaipur City; yet the surrounding greens seem far away from the hub.
The General's Retreat is almost an extension of the General's Personality.. A warm, large hearted man, with a twinkle in the eyes and never at a loss for anecdotes. A scion of a royal clan of Rajasthan, he was one of the few officers with a King's Commission in the Indian Army. A man of varied interests, he spent
his hours painting, writing, hamming and even dairy farming at the retreat.
The General's Retreat is located at the centre of Jaipur City. Easily accessible, it is 12 kilometres from the Sanganer Airport, and barely two kilometres from the Railway Station, the Bus Stand, and the City Centre.
