A new chapter in Rajasthan’s eco-tourism begins as Chokhiwadi Forest Retreat, an eco-luxury resort located near the Sariska Tiger Reserve, officially opens its doors to travelers seeking nature, culture, and conscious living. Just a 4-hour drive from Delhi and an hour from Jaipur via the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and other well-connected highways, the retreat offers a perfect weekend or weeklong escape in the heart of the Aravalli hills.
Blending rustic charm with modern comfort, Chokhiwadi features ten thoughtfully designed accommodations including luxury tents, mud villas, and stone cottages that reflect earthy hues and textures inspired by jungle safari aesthetics. The retreat is built on four pillars—Adventure, Culture, Community, and Conscious Living—offering an immersive experience that goes beyond the ordinary.
Guests can indulge in a range of curated activities such as jungle biking trails, birdwatching, stargazing, wellness and yoga sessions, and cultural programs that include local cuisine, traditional folk performances, and village interactions. The property also organizes guided safaris into Sariska National Park and treks to the historic Bhangarh Fort, enhancing its appeal to nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Among the standout amenities are Spice Aangan, an all-day dining restaurant; Vaayu, a serene yoga lawn; Jalashaya, an open-air swimming pool; The Lair, a cozy lounge and library; and Annapurna, a home-grown food forest that provides farm-to-table experiences. These soulful spaces are designed to inspire relaxation, connection, and inner renewal.
Committed to sustainability and local empowerment, Chokhiwadi employs eco-friendly practices such as biowaste composting, water recycling, and hiring staff from surrounding communities. These initiatives reinforce the retreat’s mission of environmental responsibility and meaningful visitor engagement.
Chokhiwadi offers flexible vacation packages including 3-night, 4-day getaways and longer weeklong stays tailored to individual interests. Ideal for small family gatherings, couples’ escapes, intimate wellness retreats, boutique events, and niche weddings, the resort is designed to accommodate exclusive personal and corporate experiences in a tranquil, forested setting.
Co-founder Varun Sahgal shared the retreat’s vision: “Chokhiwadi is more than just a destination; it’s an immersive escape into nature, culture, and self-discovery. Guests won’t just leave with photos—they’ll take back unforgettable memories, thrilling stories, and a deeper connection with the wild.”
