Khempur is a quaint little rural village in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, just east of the spectacular lakeside city of Udaipur. The village is centred around the Ravla Khempur, a charming, historical palace hotel which gained notoriety for its part in the popular British film, 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel'. The hotel has a strong equestrian theme and is home to a number of high-pedigree Marwari and Kathiawari horses. The village of Khempur comprises a small cluster of typical rural dwellings, shops, and shaded squares where the villagers discuss the affairs of the world or share local gossip. This is rural India at its most enchanting, and Khempur will undoubtedly seduce those looking to discover local traditions and customs. Beyond the village is an expanse of verdant farmland stretching off towards distant mountains.
