Mr & MRS Smith Raas Chhatrasagar

We had a delightful stay in our superb tent. Certainly the most luxurious and well appointed tent we have ever been in. The bathroom was outstanding, the bedroom amazing with a very comfortable bed. The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty to choose from. We really enjoyed our Safari to the local village and ancient temple, The staff here were outstanding, friendly and courteous .

This hotel is wonderfully peaceful and the facilities and staff were excellent. We enjoyed the village visit, so interesting and were able to see up close the cotton and castor oil fields. Birdlife in abundance and a safari trip with a naturist and guide shouldn’t be missed!

We recently stayed at Raas Chhatrasagar as part of our honeymoon and can easily say it was one of the highlights of the trip. It is a truly magical place. The location itself is stunning, so so peaceful - especially if you’re incorporating a stay in between city sightseeing. The wildlife and wildlife activities - we did the early morning nature walk and the sunset birdwatching boat trip - are great. The in-hotel naturalist is so knowledgeable and it was great to see antelope, hogs, jackals, eagles and many many many other birds up close. We also loved the tour of the kitchen garden. The rooms themselves are very luxurious and spacious, the large terrace overlooking sunrise on the lake (and bath with the same view) is a nice touch. Communal areas, including a gorgeous infinity pool and restaurant area are also luxe and understated, in keeping with the environment. The food was the best hotel food we’ve ever had, which is great as the only option is to eat at the hotel. The Indian breakfast options were standout, as was an amazing veggie thali that we had. We would also recommend the sundowner drinks at the pop-up lakeside bar, a really nice but simple touch. Most of all the staff make the experience. They are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and ensure the hotel delivers a truly five star service, without ever feeling contrived or OTT. Our only advice would be to fly into Jodphur versus Jaipur, as the drive from Jaipur is long and quite stressful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this as must do R&R if you’re planning a trip to Rajasthan.
