Look beyond the beaten track amid the golden sands of Rajasthan and you will glimpse an oasis - A dazzling shimmer of sunshine on water that hovers on the edge of a mirage. Drive on. This is timeless Rajasthan - untouched by the creeping fingers of ‘modernity' - unchanged in its unpretentious natural grandeur.

Legend has it that, in the 1920's, Rajadhiraj Nahar Singh of Shahpura mortgaged the family's private property and jewels to bring water to his people. Today, the three lakes he created, Nahar Sagar, Umaid Sagar and the Arvardh Dam, along with 250 small lakes
form the heart of a verdant wetland refuge - historic, picturesque, tranquil - an idyllic setting where man and nature have come to understand each other.

The heavily wooded, 30 acre Shahpura Bagh on the edge of the lakes was the summer residence of the rulers of Shahpura. Nahar Niwas, one of the two residences on the estate, still remains the family home.

The two larger suites measure 670 sq ft with high ceilings (height 24 ft.). All rooms have world space radios, coffee and tea makers, hair dryers, EPABX and phone system as well as Biotique herbal toiletries.

Warm and gracious, offering a wonderful experience of traditional personalised hospitality, of being welcomed into the contemporary heart of an ancient lineage.
Five beautiful appointed suites and four double rooms with en-suite bathrooms, all combine to make the Bagh a perfect retreat.
