History about dandhikar fort:-
The Dadhikar Fort, Almost 1100 years ago, around 9-10 century, a residential camp was made in the dense forests amidst the Aravali Hills in Matsya Janpad area by a deserted family of King Chand who had to leave his capital named Abhanagari(the place of grace), now known as Abhaneri after having lost everything in flood there. The word ‘Dera’ denotes camp and thus, place was called as ‘Derakar’ i.e. to make a camp. Gradually with passage of time the name changed and now it is known as Dadhikar, Alwar. This history is supported with the folk song sung by the people of these areas.
Heritage Hotel:-
Now dandhikar hotel is converted into Heritage hotel if you want to stay there you have to book a room for approx 7 to 8k but dont see the price the location is too good and rooms are so well maintained.While being at the Dadhikar Fort, You would definitely go centuries back and see how the Indian Culture and Traditions have gradually changed. Despite this, You would find all the modern amenities here maintained in the ancient style.
