Brij Lakshman Sagar, Pali

A wonderful peaceful retreat. The only place in India that we have had no noise at night time and complete privacy in our cottage. The accommodation was very spacious and well laid out and the food was the best we have had so far in India. We thoroughly recommend the herding activity which Sarthak took us on ***** with Nen Singh who drove the jeep. We joined The herders Kishanji and Sogji at their home and then drove the goats and sheep through the village to their grazing fields. They started a small fire over which they cooked chickpeas for us to eat and heated up some sheep milk to make Marsala chai for us to sit down and drink with them. They also milked a goat into a cup which we drank and it was so frothy and delicious. All the staff looked after us really well and sunrise yoga with Amul by the hilltop water tank was an experience we will never forget either. The only downside to our stay was the extremely rustic steps everywhere which were a huge trip hazard as they were uneven and jagged and varied massively in height from 4” to almost 18”.

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful vacation at Brij Lakshman Sagar, which we discovered through Small Luxury Hotels while choosing between this and a property in Jawai. I’ve always admired Rajasthan’s hospitality and wanted to experience it with my husband—Brij was the perfect choice. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed a range of unique activities: a sunrise trek, breakfast with locals, high tea atop a rock at sunset, stargazing, and spice mixing—all meticulously organized by a thoughtful team. Special thanks to Pooja, who ensured our trek arrangements were flawless. A truly memorable moment was watching the sunrise and sunset with a cup of chai on a beautifully arranged mattress, complete with snacks. I’ve never felt so special! The food was fresh and flavorful; every dish was amazing, especially the gatta curry—a must-try. The rooms combined rustic charm with modern amenities, evoking the feel of a village. Although the plunge pool was a bit disappointing—too shallow and often dirty—the abundance of peacocks roaming outside added a magical touch. Another highlight was the stargazing session with Sarthak. His deep knowledge made the experience even more captivating as we learned so much about the night sky. Overall, Brij Lakshman Sagar exudes a peaceful, enchanting atmosphere that welcomes you from the moment you arrive.

You can see from the Trip Advisor website that this resort regularly receives 5 star reviews. Quite rightly so. We have been travelling around Rajasthan for 18 days and the contrast between the hustle and bustle of the cities and this amazingly beautiful and tranquil setting is sublime. You can relax in a stunning environment surrounded by beautiful natural history. The lake and wild birds are breathtaking. The lodges are beautiful but you can occasionally get an ‘extra’ guest pass by. Small local squirrels and door mice might want to check out the visitors. The staff are friendly, diligent and multitalented. The vegetables are delicious and mostly grown on site. The food is delicious Special thanks to Dilip, Pooja, Tanya, Rai and Davindra. This is a great example of developing eco-tourism in this spectacular country

Hi I stayed a night at your Pali property and would like to let you know that we had a very horrible experience, at night there was a person peeping into our room and washroom thought the small window. You being a big and trusted hotel chain such cheap and unpleasant things should definitely not happen. This just to inform you so that other guest don’t face this and feel safe staying there. The hotel needs to hire trust and educated staff as it isn’t safe at all. Kindly beware of such people and hopefully they take steps to make the place safer. Manager was informed but don’t know if any thing was done about it.

This was probably the most expensive hotel during our holiday but I don't regret paying ! It was a lovely serene place with numerous birds, interesting food and activities and very professional staff. We stayed in room 6 which was actually the closest to the main buildings. The other lodges were well spread out and there were a number of steps at various points so the hotel wouldn't really be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Other than that minor warning, everything was lovely. We enjoyed breakfast in the garden, the evening nature walk with sundowners and the village safari. Of those, only the village safari was chargeable as the others were covered by the room charge. The rooms themselves were delightful, full of thoughtful additions and comfortable while the sit-out next to room 6 was at the edge of the water with birds all round. It was very, very relaxing !

For those looking to connect with nature, the property offers an array of activities. The nature walk is an absolute must, allowing you to immerse yourself in the surrounding jungle, breathing in the fresh air and observing the rich flora and fauna. The yoga sessions are peaceful, set against the backdrop of the natural beauty around you, creating the perfect environment for relaxation and inner peace. But if there’s one activity that truly stands out, it’s the spice mixing session. The opportunity to prepare your own garlic and chili chutney is both fun and rewarding, offering a hands-on experience that connects you to the flavors of the region. And let’s not forget the toiletries—they’re a luxurious touch that truly elevates the experience. The multani mitti and rose water face pack are a refreshing addition, providing a spa-like experience right in the comfort of your room. Overall, Brij Laxman Sagar offers a perfect blend of nature, luxury, and rich cultural experiences. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, it's a place where you can unwind, rejuvenate, and connect with both nature and yourself. I couldn't recommend it more!
