Dev Bagh
Come and experience a peaceful, relaxing and comfortable stay in one of our Rajasthani cottages near the village of Setrawa in the Thar desert area. Setrawa is 103km west of Jodhpur and 200km east of Jaisalmer and is a village of 4000 inhabitants. The cottages are situated in a tiny hamlet 7km away, in an area of semi-arid land, predominantly sand and are circular with thatched roofs just as they are built locally. Our grandparents lived in Setrawa for many years before moving to Jodhpur and we still have a firm attachment to this area, which is still regarded as ‘home’.
This is a place for nature-lovers who would perhaps like to take a break during their travels in India. There are always peacocks in the village and camels will roam around the landscape as well as Chinkara deers. You will be able to have an entirely peaceful experience away from the hustle and bustle of the towns, gaze at the wonderful starlit skies at night and feel the tranquillity and calm of this area
You will have delicious meals cooked by relatives of the Rathore family who live close-by. You will be able to watch how the meals are prepared should you wish to learn more about Rajasthani cooking, but mainly this is a place to chill-out for a few days, read books, write, paint or pursue your own interests. You may like to take a ride on a camel or a camel cart to sand dunes.
