The new Chhatrasagar is a triumph, taking all that was wonderful about the old camp and enhancing it without sacrificing
any of its atmosphere.
One of only a couple of tented camps in India to be open year round! There’s nothing quite like sitting in your verandah, with a
good book, sipping and being rewarded with glorious, uninterrupted views and virtually no sign of habitation.
In the late nieeteenth century, Thakur Chhatra Singh of Nimaj, a powerful noble of the desert kingdom of Marwar (Jodhpur), decided to dam a
seasonal stream flowing through his estate. His vision was to create a water reservoir which would harvest the monsoon rains. It was an
ambitious project and a great drain on his resources but Thakur Chhatra Singh remained true to his vision. The dam was completed in 1890
and changed the dry scrub into prime agricultural land. The reservoir was named Chhatra Sagar in his memory.
By early twentieth century Chhatra Sagar had developed into a lush green oasis. With its wide open spaces and enchanting views, it became
the entertainment venue of choice. To capture the outdoor “big sky” feel of the place, permanent construction was deliberately kept to a
minimum.
RAAS took over Chhatra Sagar on April, 2019 and is now known as RAAS Chhatrasagar. Adding on facilities like heated Swimming Pool,
state of art Spa, Multi-cuisine restaurant with Bar, Private dining options and outdoor activities like reservoir safari and farm visits are few
key highlights of the guests’ experience.
