When life at the palace begins to pale,
the royal rulers of Rajasthan retreat, either to luxurious summer
palaces and pleasure gardens or to rugged camps in the desert. Mool
Sagar combines the best of both worlds and provides an oasis in the
golden desert sands just 9 kms. (6 miles) from the legendary fort of
Jaisalmer.
Created by Maharawal Mool Raj II in 1780 A.D., Mool Sagar is a true
royal pleasure garden. Its delicate stone pavilions and fountains
provide an exquisite setting for the luxurious Royal Jodhpur Tents.
Eighteen spacious tents, handmade by traditional artisans, recreate the
early 20th century camps of the Jodhpur Maharajas, but with 21st century
amenities. Each tent has an ensuite bathroom and a private verandah, and
is air-cooled or heated, depending on how the desert winds blow. Leave
the desert behind as you enter Mool Sagar through the mehtab bagh
(moonlit garden) of fragrant white flowers.
Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in the carved pavilions, or at a
spectacular historic stepwell in the desert. Relax under the midnight
blue desert sky, and be entertained by fine local artists. A swimming
pool, shop, and small business center are on site, and desert dune
trips, camel safaris, and local sightseeing can be arranged. Mool Sagar
offers the rare opportunity to step into the elegant and exuberant royal
life depicted in miniature paintings, where splendid gardens provide a
backdrop to music, dance (and frequent romance), and offer sanctuary
from days spent wandering through the fort and the old city or camel
trekking through the desert.
