While Mandawa and Alsisar has more of a old Rajasthani village like atmosphere, Mukundgarh and Dundlod are forts and Nawalgarh is more open but has more havelis on display. 

Surajgarh is a pure ex-Delhi weekend getaway for its proximity to Delhi. Bagar is away from everything and an idyllic relaxing retreat
