Located 6 kms from the resort in the midst of
the wilderness surrounded by the sand dunes is the splendid isolated
splendor of Manvar Tented camp . The concept of MANVAR Desert
Camp seems to trace its birth to the 17th century when while on
his way to the battlefields, the Mughal Emperor Jehangir, known
for his luxurious lifestyle, used to set up royal style camps.
These camps were equipped with all the amenities. This tradition
was followed by later rulers as well as those of Rajasthan for
their hunting trips, royal gatherings and recreational activities.
AN oasis of rare exclusivity The MANVAR TENTED CAMP consists of
30 colorfully decorated, safari-style tents arranged in a semi-circle
around a central ‘durbar’ Hall
Each of the thirty tents is carefully placed for commanding views
over the desert wilderness. They are extremely luxurious - more
like mini-marquees with smart polished traditional camping style
teak furniture, rich jute rugs and lovely custom designed block-printed
tent linings. Beds are large, can be arranged as single, double
or twins, and have electric lamps on side tables that light the
tents effectively at night.
Large windows have pull up flaps to allow light and fresh desert
air through and permanent insect netting to keep out any unwelcome
visitors. The attached tiled bathrooms have running hot and cold
water, flush toilets and proper wash basins. For cold desert nights
each tent is provided a electric blower for heat.
Delicious Indian Meals are provided in the strategically located
dining tent (the central durbar) which offers breathtaking views
of the sunrise, sunset and the surrounding country side.
Evenings are livened up by camp fire, mashaals, and local musicians
& dancers.
With stunning sunrises, mesmerising sunsets and dazzling night
skies, life in this peaceful wilderness is spectacularly elemental
- and extraordinarily silent.
