Birders Paradise

Chhatra Sagar, part of the RAAS group,  is located right on the edge of a 100-year-old dam which is teeming with birds in the heart of rural Rajasthan, 110km east of Jodhpur, near the village of Nimaj in the district of Pali, Rajasthan.

The east facing hand-stitched tents are perched overlooking the dam where the only sound is a birds song.

The 13 luxury en-suite tents are furnished with locally crafted furniture and fabrics, with the star attraction being the beautiful hand painted floors in a traditional henna design. Each tent also has a private sitting area at the front with wicker chairs looking out over the water.

This 1920s style camp also has an open-sided reception, comfortable sitting area and an air-conditioned, glass-walled library and bar space.

The food is widely considered to be the best Rajasthani home cooking in the state and alfresco dinners take place under an incredible canopy of stars.

Chhatra Sagar is an idyllic spot to take a breather from the Rajasthan city pace.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Jenny Kidd

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.
