Head Towards Lake View Resort With Rajasthani Touch- Chhatra Sagar

The stunning setting of Chhatra Sagar’s hand-stitched tents - perched, east-facing, on a 100-year-old dam overlooking a lake awash with waterfowl means you arise to the sight of the sunrise and the sound of birdsong, as the scent from bowls brimming with rose petals fills the air. It’s an idyllic spot to take a breather from the Rajasthan city crush.

Amid the luxury ensuite tents you'll find an open-sided reception, a comfortable sitting area, and a library cum bar space. The camp is an updated version of the 1920s hunting parties hosted by the Nimaj family, who have owned the surrounding working farmland for more than a century. Still the welcoming hosts, the Nimajs are wonderfully on-hand, organising bird-watching trips, fascinating tours around the local village and walks through the outlying pastures.

The food is organic and delicious, and the hilltop sundowners allow you to revel in a view that’s blessedly big-sky and free from other beings.
