The Orchard Luxury Tent Retreat in Pushkar, Rajasthan

Tucked away in the small village of Ganahera, just a short walk from the sacred town of Pushkar, The Orchard offers a luxurious tented retreat set amidst lush gardens and amla orchards. This peaceful hideaway is ideal for travellers seeking a serene escape in Rajasthan, whether as a base during the vibrant Pushkar Camel Fair or as a restful destination in its own right.

With only 15 spacious, air-conditioned tents, The Orchard offers an exclusive and intimate atmosphere. Each tent is beautifully appointed with elegant furnishings, handcrafted wooden details and traditional Rajasthani touches; silk curtains, marble lamps and local blue pottery. The layout includes a separate living area, dressing space and a private verandah, all surrounded by leafy orchard views. Thoughtful eco-conscious touches, such as water-saving fixtures and natural ventilation, ensure comfort while staying true to the environment.

At the heart of The Orchard is the Golghar, a round, open-sided pavilion where guests gather to enjoy delicious vegetarian cuisine. The food is a celebration of fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and prepared using traditional recipes with a light, modern touch. Dining is a relaxed and social affair shared under the stars, around a campfire, or beneath the dappled shade of fruit trees.

Beyond the comfort of your tent, The Orchard offers a wealth of quiet pleasures. Wander through the orchard’s mango and amla groves, unwind in a hammock with a book, or enjoy yoga and meditation in peaceful natural surroundings. Guests can also experience cultural activities such as traditional Rajasthani music, puppet shows and village walks that offer an insight into rural life and local traditions.

A stay at The Orchard is especially memorable during the Pushkar Camel Fair, when the town comes alive with colour, music and the bustle of traders, performers and pilgrims. Located just outside the main town, The Orchard provides the perfect balance - close enough to experience the fair’s energy, yet far enough to retreat to calm and comfort.

The retreat is vegetarian-only and alcohol-free, in keeping with the sacred ethos of Pushkar. The staff and hosts are warm, attentive and always on hand to ensure a relaxed and meaningful stay. Their passion for hospitality and respect for the land make The Orchard the ideal place to stay and connect with nature, culture and a slower rhythm of life, combining the best of luxury glamping in Rajasthan with heartfelt Rajasthani hospitality.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
