The Desert Resort has been created in the style of a typical
Rajasthani village. The mystery and romance of the desert are captured in the
unusual architecture of the resort. It is a verdant oasis in the midst of the
stark desert landscape.
HistoryThe Desert Resort, built on a sand dune, was started in 1985 with 8
cottages. Built almost entirely with materials available locally, extensive
surveys and research were first carried out in the area regarding the lifestyle
of the villagers and the local architecture.
The cottages and rooms are made of bricks and plastered over with mud to
retain authenticity. Lime paste 'mandanas' are done regularly by the village
women employed there.
