Escape to village paradise

Rated 5.0 by Amit Kumawat . Family Traveller . Jan 22, 2023

It was a perfect family stay, we booked two cottage with dinner meal package. Complete resort gives a good village vibe, it’s away from city center around 17km but it’s worth to stay, host was so humble & provided with warm water when we checked in, it’s a resort in between beautiful farm. There was a kalbeliya show organized in night with bonfire and buffet. It was a rajasthan buffet which was delicious. Must take complete package as food & tea had a perfect taste for your buds. You can also take safari if you want but we had a safari in jaisalmer so we skipped it. Overall it was. 4 out of 5.

No brainer to visit this place

Rated 5.0 by Dharam Raj Meena . Couple Traveller . Dec 06, 2022

Place is super quite and chilled with lots of fun activities to do. Night campfire with folk dance, music and good home made food. Staff is super polite and helpful. Ps: the round hut rooms are better then rectangle one's.

Loved the evening

Rated 5.0 by Andrew Katz . Group Traveller . Feb 15, 2016

A wonderful experience only 15 minutes outside Bikaner city. A great escape and "off the beaten path" adventure opportunity. The accommodations were very clean, the land is very peaceful, the dinner time music extraordinary and the service sweet! We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it to friends and family looking for a unique experience. Breakfast and Dinner were included in our stay and the food was VERY TASTY!

Couple friendly nice stay

Rated 4.0 by Jyotsna Sharma . Couple Traveller . Jan 07, 2018

From food to ambience, room to service, everything is good and up to mark. They always ready to serve you. Manager Umesh Shekhawat is nice person. He treats you in very friendly manner and listen you patiently . Camel safari price is little bit high, should work on this . Overall a nice stay.

Superb Stay and Experience

Rated 4.0 by Bhaskaruni Chaitanya . Couple Traveller . Dec 03, 2017

Superb Desert stay. Nice hospitality and very secured. Food was very simple, homemade and tasty. Also very reasonable including traditional Rajasthani Folk Music and Camp fire. Mr. Umesh the owner was very kind and helpful. Camel ride was superb but bit expensive. Overall very nice experience.

Comfortable location and relaxed family time WOW!

Rated 4.0 by SUBRAT DASH . Family Traveller . Oct 23, 2017

The Stay is comfortable for family and definitely recommended for 2 /3 nights. The location is exotic and make you feel very relaxed. The sunset is really beautiful to see from the a small dune created near the resort. The cottage room are comfortable. We had two families (2+2) & (2+1). The kids are nice time playing badminton and relaxing. The dinner is repeats itself, which is not so happening. Breakfast option is good but kind of repeats itself. The owner Mr Umesh is very helpful and will take good care of the guest. Be-careful if you are going with normal vehicle (alto etc ... As the location takes you through the sand dunes and vehicle may get stuck, but don't worry Umesh is always there to help. They offer camel ride & jeep ride that is exciting. Happy trip whosoever is planning a trip and we would recommend this resort for cosy stay.

Must visit place

Rated 4.0 by Vijayant . Couple Traveller . Apr 02, 2017

The place is just before Bikaner city hence, is peaceful and optimal to stay at. The city is just 25 min away which is just a whizz as there is no traffic enroute. It's a great place and the owner with the staff there makes it a wonderful stay. His knowledge of the area and the places to visit is awesome. This is not limited to Bikaner. He guided us on our route to Jaisalmer and also the places to visit in between. It was wonderful and we enjoyed the trip even after leaving the place.

Good stay and great experience

Rated 4.0 by Venkata Sriram . Couple Traveller . Jan 25, 2016

The hotel was well located in the middle of a desert. It was a proper camping destination for us as we wanted to stay away from the noise of the city in the desert. The staff was hospitable and the food was great (authentic Rajasthani food was served). The rooms as well as the washrooms were well maintained. They arranged a pick up and drop from the closest point on the road from where it was easy to commute to Bikaner. The hotel had arranged for desert safari (little over priced) but it was worth a ride. They took us on a ride for 2 hrs on camels where we halted at a point to witness the sunset.

Prompt service and delicious food

Rated 4.0 by Amar Karandikar . Family Traveller . Nov 25, 2015

Best for bigger group & for minimum 2 nights. Owner Mr. Umesh and his team to mention specifically Mr. Sharma offers great package, prompt service and delicious food. Well maintained property away from the crowd. 15 km before Bikaner. They also offer safaris.

Nice stay

Rated 3.0 by Anuj Kumar . Group Traveller . Feb 18, 2017

Visited from 11th Feb to 13th Feb 2016. Nice stay. The location was good. It is before Bikaner city and away from the crowds. Good place to visit. This place is suitable for both family and group of friends.

Rated 3.0 by Dhanalakshmi Nk . Family Traveller . Jun 17, 2016

Due to outside city location, we always had to depend on hotel vehicle to reach main road and city. There is no sand hills/dues in Bikaner. Room doors has to be more good. Water was getting blocked in our room bathroom. Water was almost not coming. Some of the plug points were not working. So could not charge mobile and camera. Food was ok. Rajasthani music they had arranged along with fire camp that was the only good part.

Poor stay

Rated 3.0 by Amares Chakrabarty . Family Traveller . Mar 26, 2016

The hotel has cheated us. We booked AC Swiss tent but there was no tent at all. Instead they had allotted us mud room. They had charged exorbitant rate for food. I want refund of my money. As you had recommended this lodge you are also equally responsible and arrange to get refund of the amount. Please arrange for the same to keep your reputation high.

charged too high cost

Rated 2.0 by Sumeer Saxena . Family Traveller . Dec 30, 2022

The resort was decent with facilities and taking care of its guests but the amount charged by for the stay was way too high for it. The per day rent charged by direct owner was per night for 2 adults and charged me for 3 adults for 1 night(almost higher than what makes sense). so high than normal rates.
