Location: Hotel Chhatra Sagar is 110 km. from Jodhpur, 135 km. from Nagaur, 250 km. from Bikaner and 95 km. from Ajmer
in state Rajasthan.
About:
Luxury tents have always been an important part of Rajput lifestyle. Constant campaigns in far flung lands meant long stays in tents under inhospitable conditions. Tents were the only luxury available and soon these “homes away from home” evolved into mobile, mini-palaces.
Chhatra Sagar captures the essence of this romance.
Accommodation:
All tents face east overlooking the lake and have private sit outs offering panoramic views. Each tent is carefully hand stitched with interiors block printed in traditional floral motifs. They are spacious, comfortably furnished with locally crafted furniture, and have well appointed private facilities. Two of the tents are set atop a hill providing complete privacy and a breathtaking 360 degree view.
The camp has 11 guest tents on the dam and two on the hill.
Dining: Dining is a special affair at Chhatra Sagar, be it in the dining tent overlooking the lake or by the campfire under a canopy of stars.
Traditional recipes for the meals served at Chhatra Sagar have been in use for generations and are prepared in the family kitchen using fresh farm produce.
Activity:
The descendants of the people invited here by Thakur Chhatra Singh still live in settlements around Chhatra Sagar. Predominantly farmers and shepherds, they live a self-contained and harmonious life which has changed little in the last century. Chhatra Sagar continues to recharge their wells and provide water for their livestock.
The camp organises farm & village visits and conducts bird watching tours.
