Lake Palace

After much anticipation the illustrious Deogarh family have finished converting one of their forts into an exceptionally luxurious villa, and created the magical ‘Fort Seeghh Sagar’. This island fortress is truly awe-inspiring; sitting in the middle of a lake (monsoon dependent but currently surrounded by water) it can only be reached by boat (monsoon dependent, otherwise by dirt road) or by a small bridge and is set amidst a dramatic rocky landscape. Just 5 km from Deogarh Mahal and close to the ruins of the deserted village of Manpura, there are wonderful places to explore and excellent rural walking and bird watching to be done.

One of the most exciting things about this new gem is that it is small enough to be rented as a ‘villa’, and works brilliantly rented out in its entirety. Guests at Fort Seegh Sagar will have full use of the facilities and services at Deogarh Mahal. The owner, Col. Randhir Singhji of Deogarh, or another member of the family will also be present to look after guests in person.

There is a cosy separate sitting area to read and relax in, and there is a large dining terrace which is open to the skies and a smaller, covered dining area which offers a blend of Indian cuisine and continental dishes and the menu can be tailor–made to suit the guest’s choice.

Fort Seeghh Sagar is fully staffed, with everything of the highest quality – from the beds, linen, toiletries and crockery to the furniture and cuisine. There is a 29” satellite TV and a DVD player.

Seeghh Sagar is for those looking for peace, comfort and tranquillity in a luxuriant setting. A highly personal place, with plenty of staff to attend to your needs at all times, whilst retaining its traditional, Rajasthani character. The perfect party venue or family holiday with every comfort you could wish for!

Fort Seegh Sagar is a magical and awe-inspiring island fortress sitting in the middle of a lake within a dramatic rocky landscape. Three hours' drive from Udaipur, it is fully-staffed and everything is of the highest quality. Each room has a private bathroom and balcony overlooking the lake. The small pond in the central courtyard becomes a cosy fire to sit around during winter. As well as a dining and sitting area under cover there is a superb, open-air terrace which overlooks the lake.

Accommodation :

The four rooms offer exotic interiors in lush fabrics, unique bathrooms and sit-outs with each room looking out across to the surrounding hills. The sound of tinkling cow bells mingles with that of splashing fountains to create an aura of tranquility. The rooms too are named after Indian ‘raags’ (classical tunes) Raag Megh Malhar, Raag Tilak Kamod, Raag Basant and Raag Darbari.
