Raipur

Two thirds of Indians live in villages, and a stay here brings you closer to experiencing traditional, rural Rajasthani life. Our pick of the best places to stay in Raipur provide a boutique hideaway.

In Rajasthan especially, tourists seem to join the dots between the main cities of Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer. All wonderful, but potentially exhausting visits. Raipur is an easy three-hour drive from Jodhpur; yet a world away.

As you continue down the highway the traffic and truck horns slowly dissipate, replaced by buffalo bottlenecks and be-turbaned Rajasthani farmers sporting white dhoti and herding their cattle.

Our pick of the best places to stay in Raipur are all ideally situated for a country escape.

Boutique luxury

• Lakshman Sagar is a former maharajah’s hunting lodge turned chic boutique retreat. Decorated with local influences and vibrant pop colours individual cottages with private plunge pools. It’s something of an Ibiza meets India vibe – very bohemian chic. You can even participate in rural activities such as goat herding and kite flying.
