Destination: India: Tented Camps
Setting Text Size A A A
Moolsagar
This is my favorite tented camp. Located six miles outside the historic, ornately carved fort in the town of Jaisalmer, deep in the western Thar Desert, Moolsagar is set in a walled garden built in 1780 for the Maharawal Mool Raj II—a serene oasis of stone pavilions, cupolas and fragrant flower beds. The eighteen tents were hand-made by artisans and decorated by the Princess of Jodhpur, the daughter of the wealthy royal hotelier the maharaja of Jodhpur, who also owns the Umaid Bhawan Palace, one of India’s finest hostelries. You may be tempted just to sit by the pool and read historical novels, but you can also take trips into Jaisalmer, perhaps the most beautiful of Rajasthan’s cities, and to local villages or go camel riding in the desert. Open from October 1 to mid-April. Rates from $300.
