The Unexplored Trail – Narlai | Chhatrasagar | Rohet

Arrive at Maharana Pratap Airport, Udaipur which is well connected to all major destinations in India. Transfer in your private SUV towards Narlai which is about 140 kms/2-hour drive from the city of Udaipur where we reach our first destination resort – Rawla Narlai. Tucked away in Rajasthan’s Aravalli Hills, Rawla Narlai hotel has turned a 17th-century royal hunting lodge into a serene escape from India’s bustling tourist trail.

Stay in one of the well-appointed Vintage Room which gives a true heritage feel without compromising luxury. Lunch will be served at Café Jharoka.

Enjoy the rest of your evening at the Bar or SPA and end your day with ‘Mystical Dinner at The Step Well’. The surreal set up is done at the 16^th century step well with 100’s of lanterns lit all around. With authentic meals served with musical performances, the night gets better and better with every passing hour.

Rest overnight at the hotel.

A three-hour drive takes you to another spellbinding destination in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan. Set along the Chhatrasagar lake, your abode for next two nights will be RAAS. Beautifully designed Luxury Tents await you for a pleasant stay. There’s nothing quite like sitting on your verandah here, with a good book, sipping a chilled glass of your favourite drink, and being rewarded with glorious, uninterrupted views and virtually no sign of habitation.

Drive out into the wilderness around the camp and enjoy a bush lunch in a natural setup.

Evenings can be spent admiring the beautiful landscaped around the property with over 250 species of birds. A naturalist can accompany you if you are keen to list down the various birds you spot.

Dinner today will be curated at a unique spot around the camp with homegrown ingredients used to prepare authentic cuisine of the region.

Check-out and drive towards the last leg of our trip – Mihir Garh, Rohet. The fort-like structure which is part of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux is an all-suite property with either a private plunge pool or a Jacuzzi. Each one is more than 1700 square feet of pure luxury. Here, serenity and splendour come together to create an experience for you. While exotic drinks from your personal mini-bar become the manna for a sultry summer afternoon, the fireplace morphs into an intimate friend for wintry nights.

Reach right at the time of lunch which will be served. Post lunch, relax for a couple of hours before an evening full culture immersion begins.

In the evening, we will take you for a Village Safari. This unique tour is made possible solely because of the host family’s special relationship with the local people from various communities and walks of life, which allows rare access into every home visited, where guests are welcomed as their very own.

The day ends with a specially curated dinner experience. Enjoy the ‘Shikaar Dinner’, which takes you back to the days of the Raj, when Shikaar (hunting) was the sport of the day. Mashaal lit pathways and a crackling bonfire welcome you as you step off your camel cart. Bolster cushions on traditional chaarpies (bed) beckon you, and you give in to the pampering; a glass of your favorite poison in hand, you are entertained by the enthralling Manganiyar folk musicians.

Post breakfast, we will depart for Jodhpur Airport from where you may end this journey.

Two days each at Udaipur & Jodhpur can be added to make this a 10 nights’ itinerary. You would be thrilled to enjoy the royalty at both cities which have tales of history and culture coming in from every corner.
