 Located at a distance of about 7 km from
the Nakki Lake, en-route Gurushikar. Ratan Villas, true to its meaning
of peace in a special place is nothing short of a heaven on earth.
Nestled in the Aravallis that abode Mount Abu, this lodge is located at
the highest altitude throughout western India, together with being in an
open wild life sanctuary. Sloth bear (common) and leopard (rare - and by
luck) can be sighted. Ratan Villas is in proximity to 5 major tourist
destinations in Mount Abu:- Dilwara - Jain Temple, Achalgarh, Trevor’s
Tank and Peace Park. It is en route Gurushikar, which is the highest
peak of the Aravalli Ranges. Ratan Villas offers every luxury that one
can possibly think of while on a wildlife tour or a peaceful weekend
vacation
Forest friendly tents and cottages were
incorporated to promote eco-friendly tourism in 2009 AD at Ratan Villas,
Mount Abu – Rajasthan. It is the first and only lodge which is situated
in the heart of the Mount Abu Wild Life Sanctuary. The premise of the
Lodge was based on the need to conserve the delicate balance between
human and nature and show through example, how tourism can be
constructive and when necessary, controlled effectively
We, from the urban environment, have
forgotten how to relate to our natural habitat, to respect and nurture
it. Ratan Villas's endeavor is to propagate this, through real nature
interactions, together with the special experience. This is very
important balance and its comprehension is missing from the urban life.
Ratan
Villas, however is an oasis of serenity and offers a splendid view of
gigantic granite rocks, dotted with caves and temple. Crowned by a
natural rock of an African elephant - proud guardian to the open forest
on one side and the crumbling Aravali hills on the other. It is set
amidst trees on a private estate, overlooking a valley and along its
northern periphery. It is a fifteen minute drive, further up from the
Nakki Lake cutting through the mountains and forest.
Accommodation
The Lodge
consists of 8 luxurious Cottage Bedrooms and 4 Shikar Tents, both with
private verandahs and bathrooms. The rooms within this luxurious
ambience have the most modern amenities and a blend of contemporary
comfort with traditional elegance. The cottage bedrooms are based on
British architecture while the tents are similar to the "tenta"
originally designed for HH the Maharaja of Jodhpur at the turn of the
last century. These tents were used on hunting expeditions. They also
catered for an overflow of guests at the palace and even for Vice Regal
and Royal visits. Shikar tents used to spring up and provide extreme
comfort even in the remotest of locations to the royal guest, like Ratan
Villas.
