Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Guided trails wind through 8,000 acres of protected Siswan forest, where morning walks reveal wild peacocks beneath the Shivalik hills.
The rooms
Triple-canopied royal forest tents and haveli-style villas feature handcrafted teak, marble bathrooms, jharokha bay seating, and private temperature-controlled plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The temperature-controlled swimming pool sits at the forest edge, framed by sandstone colonnades and blue floral murals.
The spa
Heated marble loungers furnish the tepidarium, where Ayurvedic bodywork and aromatic steam rooms look out across garden courtyards.
Restaurant
Anant Mahal
Hand-painted gold frescoes and chandeliers set the scene for Punjabi thalis, with folk performances filling the courtyard each evening.
At the table
Raunaq Bar serves single malts and cocktails beside an ornate fireplace decorated with hand-painted warrior frescoes.
How it began
Bordering a protected forest reserve, the resort was conceived as a secluded palace outpost thirty minutes outside Le Corbusier's modernist Chandigarh.
