Mr & MRS Smith Raas Chhatrasagar

Great rooms with terraces overlooking the lake, a very nice pool, beautiful gardens and a very good restaurant. Only some chairs in the restaurant were not ideal as they were either too low or too soft which made dinner slightly uncomfortable.

From the moment we arrived our whole experience was calm, serene and blissful. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff members. Our spa experience was out of this world. The best sundowners ever and we even spotted a leopard on our evening safari with Ali our guide who was an enormous wealth of information. The food was always fresh and delicious - a culinary experience to behold. I wish I could stay forever…, xx

I had high hopes returning to Chhatrasagar, having experienced its magic years ago when the two original brothers ran the property with genuine warmth, attention to detail, and a deep respect for their guests and the land. Sadly, that magic is long gone. The charm and authenticity that once defined Chhatrasagar have been replaced with a generic, commercialized feel that prioritizes profit over experience. The prices are now wildly inflated, and what you get in return feels hollow compared to what this place used to offer. Service was inconsistent and lacked the personal touch that once made staying here feel like being welcomed into someone’s home. The food was mediocre at best, a far cry from the thoughtfully prepared meals we remembered. Even the tents and overall ambiance felt tired – as though the soul of the place had been lost in its transition to new management. It’s heartbreaking to see such a special place reduced to just another overpriced luxury camp. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who remembers what Chhatrasagar used to be. If this is your first time visiting, you might not notice what’s missing – but for those of us who knew it before, the difference is stark and disappointing.

Beautiful location by the dam , interesting cottages , lots of birds , peaceful place . Good attentive staff , it was a lovely stay .

Extraordinary from arrival to departure. Top quality organic food from the garden, fabulous service, gorgeous rooms. The birdwatching boat tour on the lake was a nice activity although if you’re a serious twitcher you might be disappointed. We did see osprey, cormorants, egrets etc but mostly from a distance (binoculars provided). Sundowners on the hilltop rounded out a perfect day. A nice break from the frenetic cities.

This property is exquisite and the perfect place to spend some time if you want to relax, enjoy quiet, and appreciate nature. They have an ornithologist and a naturalist on staff who are prepared to show you all the different species of birds and all the other wildlife on the property including many peacocks, antelope, wild boar, mongoose, and we even saw a leopard. This hotel is absolutely peaceful and one of a kind, and the staff are equally delightful. If you’re traveling to/near Jodhpur and are a nature lover, don’t miss it.
