A luxury lodge in the middle of no where. The rooms are huge with huge baths and an open air shower, luxurious linen and good food . The stand out is undoubtedly the open veranda behind the room, ours was just beside a small drinking hole with streams of blackbuck and nilgai visiting once the sun started going down. The... More

And the little orphaned female blackbuck which visited the kitchen twice a day to have her milk; the rest of... More

The lodge is beautifully located amidst acres of golden yellow grassland. We were a family of thirteen and almost ruled the place for two days. The cluster of cottages look amazing especially during sunset. Being winter, the nights were clear and starry and the experience was stunning. We were welcomed by Bobo (pet nilgai) and were entertained throughout by Moughli... More

We were there on 16th and 17th Feb. The people including the owner are very friendly. They asked about specific meal requests and served accordingly. You feel completely relaxed at the resort. Ideal for a short holiday/weekend stay. Interior of the rooms are unique and we like the private outdoor shower very much. Everything including service, food, ambiance delighted us.... More
