Indian Tented Camps: Where to Stay: Setting: Chhatra Sagar

Chhatra Sagar

Sitting on the banks of a reservoir populated by preening swans in the middle of the triangle formed by the Rajasthani cities of Jodhpur, Udaipur and Pushkar, Chhatra Sagar is an old hunting lodge that has been converted into a camp of eleven tents. Created for nature lovers, it is in one of the rare underpopulated parts of India. Guests take Jeep safaris, bird-watch or walk through the local bush. The tents are grand affairs, with block-printed linings, elaborate wooden furniture and “windows” that roll up to reveal the picturesque water scene just outside. Double tent $370 per night, including all meals and nonalcoholic beverages.
