Chhatra Sagar, Nr Nimaj

Recommended

Situated just 2 hours from Jodhpur, this idyllic haven comprises 11 tents pitched on an ancient dam wall and overlooking a lake teeming with birds. The Nimaj family are all personally involved in looking after guests and the tents are amongst the finest to be found in India. Each is pitched to ensure privacy and all face directly onto the lake. The food served here is some of the finest Rajasthani home cooking in the state and the charming family ensure you want for nothing. Due to its location, surrounded by farmland and small villages, a stay here allows you to experience rural Rajasthan in a way that few other properties allow you to.

All the tents are the same.  They have fans and are non-air-conditioned.  Heaters provided in colder months.  The tents are spacious and prettily decorated and have comfortable, proper beds.  They have electric light and excellent, modern, permanent, attached bathrooms (with showers and bathrobes).  Each tent has its own private sit out overlooking the lake.  Hair dryers can be provided on request.  Hot water bottles are provided on particularly cold nights.  Hot water is plentiful and provided by geyser.  Two bottles of complimentary mineral water per person per day are provided.  There is easy access for wheelchairs throughout the camp, as it is all on one, flat level.

There is one restaurant which offers delicious Indian cuisine using old family recipes made from vegetables which are mostly grown in the farm around the camp.  The hotelcamp offers a buffet and table d’hote dining.  The restaurant is on the dam, under an open-sided tent, so you can gaze across the lake whilst dining.    The food served here is some of the finest Rajasthani home cooking in the state and the charming family ensure you want for nothing.
