Lakshman Sagar is spread over thirty two acres along a man-made lake. It is made up of twelve cottages all designed in keeping with the environment and nestled in the natural topography of the land. Influenced by the indigenous Rajasthani architecture, the cottages have been re-interpreted in sustainable design using locally sourced products like wood, stone and mud. What's more with a strong influence from the neighbouring village culture and life, all the elements found in the rooms have a story to tell.
The cuisine served at Lakshman Sagar is the traditional cuisine of the area and includes special traditional hunting recipes of the Raipur Family. All the ingredients are locally grown or sourced. The staff will enquire into your preferences on arrival and tailor the menus to your personal tastes. The idea is to serve an authentic experience of rural Marwar and ensuring that the service is entirely personalised. The guests can enjoy private dining experiences, group campfire meals and even get involved in live cooking demonstrations.
Lakshman Sagar has been celebrated as the ultimate honeymoon destination the rooms are very private, and the only things you will hear during the day are the wildlife. The pool is a single boulder with the pool cut into the middle of it. For the more adventurous guest it is a great place to head to if you are looking for an authentic and rural Rajasthani experience. You can get involved in activities such as liquor tasting, goat herding, and nature walks. Explore the local culture and wildlife with a guide from the property.
