two and a half day hut
Dhai Din Ka Jhopra is a fine example of Indo-Islamic architecture. It is situated on the outskirts of the city and at a short distance from the Dargah. It was made in just two and a half days.

Its history is 800 years old.

During the Mughal period, all military activities took place here and later it was used as a sanctuary by the British.
Anasagar Lake
This beautiful lake located north of Ajmer was built by Aanji during 1135-1150 AD. Later the Mughal emperors made some changes in the lake to make it more beautiful. Shahjahan built a pavilion ‘Baradari’ made of sandstone and Daulat Bagh Garden was built and maintained by Jahangir. This lake is an interesting place to visit with family. Winter season is considered the best season to visit Ajmer. During these days the temperature here remains between 15-18 degrees, while the nights are quite cold with 6 degrees. In such a situation, some relaxing moments can be spent in the winter season at those places which cannot be visited due to high temperatures in summer.
