Formerly the hunting preserve of the Nimaj estate, the circumference of the lake is 10kms. The warm and welcoming Nimaj family are all personally involved in looking after guests and the tents are amongst the finest to be found in India. Due to its location, surrounded by farmland, the lake, hillocks and small villages, a stay here allows you to experience rural Rajasthan in a way that few other properties allow you to.

Each is pitched to ensure privacy and all face directly onto the lake. Accommodation comprises 11 stunning tents. There are 6 twin bed tents and 5 double bed tents.
