Situated on a sand mound in the middle of the desert, Mihir Garh literally means the Sun Fortress. West of the village of Khandi, it is one of India's first luxury edge-of-desert resorts and is surrounded by scrub farmland and designed by the Rohet family. It is constructed out of wattle, mud and wood and has a wonderful rustic look whilst being supremely comfortable. Mihir Garh provides a haven of desert comfort, the 8 air conditioned suites blend seamlessly with the desert colours, and offer more than 1700 square feet of private space, including private terraces to sleep under the stars, plunge pools and private courtyards. The colours and fabrics are soft and understated and follow the earthy, desert, theme. The idea behind the camp is to give people a genuine 'desert experience', it is fabulous for riding, picnics and excursions and camel safaris. The Rohet family are amongst the best and keenest horsemen in Rajasthan and boast some of the finest horses in their stables. There are 8 suites as follows: Black Buck Suite, Shandaar Suite, Alishan Suite and Mihir Suite. Spa, one outdoor swimming pool, one dining room and a barbeque terrace, but no gym.
