Rawla Bisalpur stands as a testament to a hard-won campaign for our motherland. This estate, comprising 24 villages, serves as the head-seat of the Jawai region. After securing the land, we integrated the local families, harnessing their diverse expertise. Today, these families remain actively involved in Jawai's tourism, trade and livestock care.
The trendsetting Rabari community, known for their picturesque presence, have been an indelible part of Bisalpur, managing the estate herds and temples. As village heads, we support our people by fostering small businesses, resolving disputes, providing employment, and enhancing their skills.
Leopards have coexisted with us for centuries, a harmony reflecting our deep connection with nature. Our childhood memories are filled with the sounds of these majestic creatures around the Rawla. This relationship exemplifies our symbiotic existence with the local wildlife. Today Rawla Bisalpur runs the most authentic and original safari experience in Jawai led by my sons - Veer Vinod Singh and Paramveer Singh, who have grown up on this land with the leopards and shepherd's.
Before independence, our family served in the British Indian Army and later engaged in local governance, contributing to the region's development. We facilitated access to new government schemes and employment, constructed buildings, and improved infrastructure. Thakur Prithvi Singh Deora, a prominent political figure, played a vital role in this progress.
The Bisalpur family remains highly respected, overseeing village festivals and addressing community issues. Our bond with the community is strong, with villagers visiting us during festivals to discuss their concerns and future plans.
Rawla Bisalpur is now the Best Heritage Hotel in Jawai, and embodies our commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism. We invite travelers to experience our traditional lifestyle, offering organic, locally-sourced produce, plastic-free rooms, and products like camel milk soaps made by the Rabari community. Our eco-friendly initiatives include water harvesting and energy-efficient lighting.
We are grateful to our guests for contributing to our efforts in wildlife, heritage & community conservation.
Sincerely,
Kunwar Raghuveer Singh Deora
