A short distance from the highway between Jodhpur and Jaipur, close to the small town of Nimaj, Chhatra Sagar enjoys a unique location in rural Rajasthan with 11 tents straddling a 100 year old dam. This idyllic spot was originally used for hunting parties by the Nimaj family who still manage the tented camp. All the tents face the lake which is teeming with birdlife.
The accommodation here is very comfortable but not luxurious; with all tents featuring traditional hand-painted designs. The tents are taken down during the monsoon season, but there is a permanent en-suite bathroom with running hot and cold water.
Chhatra Sagar is a very peaceful place to spend a few days relaxing in the countryside away from the hustle and bustle of Indian towns. You can tour the local villages and learn about the local farming and shepherd communities. It is also an ideal location for birdwatching, and birdwatching tours around the lake are organised from here.
The food at Chhatra Sagar is organically grown and cooked locally, and cooking demonstrations are available. The food is widely regarded as some of the best in Rajasthan, and the dining tent has superb views across the lake.
