Bishnoi Village Camp and Resort

We very much enjoyed our stay in Bishnoi Resort, because it gave us a few nights of quiet and calm. There really isn't much to do but read and maybe do a bit of laundry. The amazing food is all seasonal, grown by the farm, and cooked by a local man, some of it on a cow dung fire. The staff are all friendly and accommodating, although only the host speaks enough English to resolve any questions. We took the jeep safari and saw deer, antelope and gazelles: amazing. We were also taken to the village to meet people, and expected to give them a bit of money (50 Rupees) for this privilege. Finally we were taken to meet the weaver of durees who did a rather high pressure sales on us, which felt a bit uncomfortable. After that we refused any more visits to the craftspeople.

We booked this place for one day only but ended up staying for six days. Because the surrounding, ambiances and food was so great that, we decided not to check any other place. We enjoyed sleeping on a jute bed (khatla) under the open sky and watching the stars, listening to the birds in the morning and absolutely fresh Air.

This place is different. A collection of about 6 huts maybe ten miles outside the city, and then a half mile up a minor road/track. The hosts are very nice and welcoming. The food is basic but good, and made to order at any hour. If you want an alternative experience this will suit you. Huts have good air-con and en-suite. It's clean and well maintained. But be aware that it is a hut, not a hotel. There's a big central seating/dining hut with good fans and wicker seats. Will suit those who want this sort of thing.

The resort is a good place to stay, calm, away from city and in the village side. The theme given to the resort reminds you of a typical Indian village. Service was great, food was excellent, breakfast was superfluous. The only disadvantage was the distance from the main city which can be taken care of you have a car.
