Accommodation

A perfect marriage of ethnicity and comfort, walking into this retreat will always be your homecoming, for at every corner is a semblance of Rajasthan’s majestic and warm hospitality enveloped in solace and elegance. While the rooms may feel perfectly cosy and courtyards wide enough to unfurl all your musings across, but as you sip your tea overlooking the sun dance behind the dunes, you will realise just how far removed you really are from the world.

Golden Stone Cottages

Dressed with ‘best-in-class’ linen and the comfort of 24 hours hot-cold running water, the property has 16 cottages complete with air-conditioning, heating, fully equipped bathrooms, writing table, wardrobe and a dressing area. While having all the modern amenities, each cottage is designed in the local architectural style to resemble ‘dhanis’ or tribal huts.The accommodation experience is complete with ensuite bathrooms with a bath cubicle, wash sink and a luggage table. The bathrooms are spacious, airy and are fitted with an air-conditioner as well.

There is a private patio adjoining each cottage, which lets you experience many seasons and colours in the span of a day. So that you can enjoy the sky changing colours with panoramic views of the desert while sipping your tea in the morning, reading a book in the evenings or stare into the brilliance of a star spangled night sky.

Pool with a view

In the middle of a golden courtyard abutted by a dome shaped pavilion or chattri lies an oasis within this oasis- the swimming pool. The water’s surface is gently ruffled by a passing breeze. Here, after a day of active exploration of the region, you can sit back on deckchairs and dream the afternoon away, waiting for that most spectacular and awaited time of day, the sunset, which is best observed from the Sunset deck.

Dining

A large, cheerful area bustling with activity and courteous service, the dining cottage is located at the center of the property.
The dining hall has an embroidered cloth ceiling, giving it the look of a medieval tent, which adds to the charm and romance. It can seat up to 40 people at one time and offers a selection of Indian, continental and local delicacies cooked by expert chefs to finger licking perfection.

Sun Deck

The space to witness the skies greatest concerts. Like a fiery Chinese fan fanning flames in the sky, the sun descends into the horizon. Its burning orange slowly turns pink, to merge with the deep blue hues as the first stars come out twinkling. In the desert, every evening, the sun bids adieu leaving behind a bouquet of colours and hues unlike any other. Simultaneously, as the sky turns dark, constellations wheel in, millions of silver pinpoints in the sky. Far from the haze of the urban skyline, our galaxy, the Milky Way arches above.

Desert Bar

A circular room with large windows overlooking the eerie beauty of the undulating desert. Located at the North Western edge of the property, the well stocked bar provides stunning views of the sunset, even as you relax with a drink.
As the evening melts into night, you may be lucky enough to view a fox scurrying away in the moonlight, a jackal howling in the distance, or an owl hooting as it swoops down to catch a hare. These occasional noises only deepen the soothing silence.
There is an array of board games and a mini library also to keep you occupied.
On request, the Bar can also be arranged on the Sundeck or by the Pool for those who prefer outdoors.

Gastronomy

It is said that the way to the heart lies via the stomach. With this truism in mind, the gourmets of Western Rajasthan developed a unique cuisine of their own that bypassed the handicap of the desert being mostly devoid of vegetation. By using dried local vegetables, various grains, meats and pickles, they came up with a menu which is perhaps one of the richest in India.
Perhaps the best known dish of the area is Kadi and Kear Sangari. For the non-vegetarians, there is a very spicy dish called Laal Maas or ‘red meat’. Gattekisabzi is a dish that does not require any vegetables as it is a curry made with gram flour dumplings!
