Raipur

Raipur is a bustling village deep in the Rajasthani countryside (not to be confused with Raipur city in Chhattisgarh), located a two-hour drive from Ajmer and half way between Jaipur and Jodhpur, which is the closest airport. Well off the tourist trail and set within charming natural landscapes, Raipur is a true representation of Rajasthani rural life and a beautiful location to spend a couple of days.

The village is a 10-minute drive through vegetable farms to Lakshman Sagar, a gorgeous boutique hotel set in a 19th Century hunting lodge beside a small lake – perfect for honeymooners looking to unwind in a chic and tranquil setting. Guests can enjoy plentiful activities including guided village tours, nature walks, jeep safaris and horse safaris through the ‘Badlands of India’, and an afternoon wildlife safari to the Todgarh Sanctuary, home to leopards and sloth bears.

Foodie activities include liquor tasting, goat herding followed by a hearty Rajasthani 'field breakfast' at a local farmer’s home where you can help churn the butter and watch fresh bread being baked.

Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10

Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!

I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.

Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!

Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
