About Lakshman Sagar:

Strategically located in the center of the Marwar and Mewar region of Rajasthan, Lakshman Sagar lies 10 kilometers off NH-14 en-route to Jodhpur via Pali. Built by 19th century’s Thakur of Raipur Lakshman Singh, Lakshman Sagar has been recontextualised from a hunting lodge into a resort with a conservationist view of the heritage and surroundings.

A beautiful amalgamation of Rajasthani design with eco-sensibility, the 12 cottages at Lakshman Sagar have been carefully planned in a sustainable manner. The historical influences from the days of the British Raj are still very evident in every corner of Lakshman Sagar.

Accommodation:

Nestled amongst 32 acres of rocky hills, Lakshman Sagar offers 12 spacious and extremely private mud and stone cottages with a striking view. Every cottage at Lakshman Sagar opens to a private splash pool overlooking the lake. Once you get there, everything will already be taken care of.

Dining:

The food served strives to preserve the traditional and regional cuisine of Rajasthan. You can choose to dine in a multiple place according to your preference:

In the restored Zanana and Mardana section
Privately in your cottage
Near the lake
In the Raipur Fort
Experiences at Lakshman Sagar:

From local liquor tasting and live cooking to goat herding and vegetable harvesting, guests at Lakshman Sagar are encouraged to connect with the place and create unforgettable memories.

Raipur, India
The dizzying, nonstop bustle of New Delhi feels a million miles away from Lakshman Sagar (from $350; sewara.com), a nineteenth-century hunting lodge turned conservation retreat, stretched across 32 acres in rural central India (a.k.a. the badlands). The property blends beautifully into the barren environs—green architects Revathi and Vasant Kamath used indigenous materials to construct the dozen mud-and-stone guest cottages—and features plenty of local handiwork, like embellished Zenana tables inspired by the colorful style of Rajasthani women. Take a lesson in yoga or meditation, trek through the surrounding badlands on horseback, bring a picnic lunch (the hotel will pack it for you) to nearby Fort Bagri, or try to spot a sloth bear, a langur (a slender gray monkey named after a Hindu god), or a chinkara (Indian gazelle) at the Todgarh Raoli Wildlife Sanctuary. No one will judge you, of course, if you opt simply to loiter by the pool and admire the surrounding desert’s foothills.
Need to rewire? The property has no TVs, Wi-Fi, or cell-phone service. To log on, you can hit the Internet cafés in the town of Raipur, five minutes away.
