Hotel Mandawa Resort, Mandawa
In
the heart of Rajasthan, the colourful land
of the Rajputs is the region of Shekhawati,
taking its name from the powerful Shekhawat
clan. The legends of this historic land have
been captured in the murals and frescoes of
its Havelis, Forts, Temples, and cenotaphs.
Set against this exotic backdrop is The
Desert Resort , Mandawa.
The mystery and romance of the desert are
captured in the unusual architecture of the
resort. Recreated in the style of a typical
Rajasthani village, The Desert Resort is a
verdant oasis in the midst of a stark desert
landscape. Visitors to this haven peopled by
camels, peacocks, birds and khejri trees,
can experience a whole new world - the
aesthetic charm of the rural without
compromising on luxury or comfort.
The 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 was
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.
