"Rajasthan’s Pali district is some distance off the usual tourist trail, which suits the Brij hotel group just fine. They’ve made it their mission to bring travelers to India’s less visited corners, and in that task this 19th-century hunting lodge succeeds admirably. Brij Lakshman Sagar is made up of a mere 12 cottages, set on 32 acres of land; safe to say it never feels busy." - Tablet Hotels
"Need a break from painted palaces? Had your fill of forts? At Lakshman Sagar there’s nary a block-print in sight. Just 12 spacious and gloriously private mud-and-stone cottages nestled amongst 32 acres of rocky hills, surrounding a lake. This is a quiet and intimate eco-retreat, a place for travellers to unwind and recharge. Take a guided nature walk; go for a dip in the crater-like pool; watch the sun set from a terrace lounge or star-gaze by a bonfire on the dam. This place is all about R&R.The hotel prides itself on its Marwar heritage but keeps a sense of humour about its history. Two 19th-century hunting lodges have been converted into airy dining and lounging spaces, decorated with whimsical touches: alcoves painted candy-floss pink; light fixtures made from milk cans and cooking pots. Your cavernous cottage is full of fun touches, too: our bright orange storage table was once a steel drum; the laundry basket formerly a baby’s hammock. Food, however, is serious business here - the cooks turn out consistently delicious dishes, all of them sophisticated interpretations of regional Rajasthani fare. You’ll return to the chaos of urban India with a full belly and a soothed soul. Highs A romantic, nature-lover's retreat: fresh air, starry skies, walking trails, migratory birds and a lake full of fish Total privacy: your own stunning and spacious cottage with private plunge pool (all tucked away from each other)An unusual glimpse into rural Rajasthan, it's worth staying 2-3 nights to fully appreciate the calming atmosphereGreat value - the price is all inclusive and covers several activities (nature walks, pottery, tobacco tasting)Delectable and innovative set-menu Rajasthani food served on an open-air terrace overlooking the lake Lows The location is remote - a 2.5-hour drive from Jodhpur Airport - and there are no restaurants or shops nearbyWith its rocky paths, steep steps and high drops, the property is neither wheelchair-accessible nor child-friendlyLunch and dinner are pre-set, so you get what you're given (though they can cater for dietary requirements)From July-Sept it's not safe to venture out post sunset without a resort escort; this is due to increased wildlife in the area - keep your windows closed at night! No WiFi, TVs or phones, and no extra beds" - Kate Darnton
