The erstwhile royal city of Udaipur continues surprise and delight us with unparalleled experiences of luxury and leisure of the highest order.
A staycation not to be missed here awaits you at the Chunda Shikar Oudi, just an hour’s drive away from town. The beautiful resort provides the perfect combination of luxury amidst the wild beauty of a gorgeous jungle setting in the Aravalli foothills.
Located at Gram Panchayat Batharda Kalan in Udaipur’s Kheroda, District, the Chunda Shikar Oudi, doesn’t believe in offering lip service to a luxurious experience. It provides a deep dive into treasured moments escaping the humdrum—uplifting your spirits through beautifully curated leisurely pursuits of luxury and ease.
Surrounded by vast swathes of woodlands spread across 400 acres of land, this countryside hideaway with its infinity pool embraces the laidback vibe of a lovely lakeside sanctuary.
What makes Chunda Shikar so appealing is that it’s truly exclusive in so many ways. For one it has only 8 beautifully appointed suites (each measuring 9149 sq. ft) from where you can enjoy the changing face of the lake through the day and thrill to the play of sunlight and shadows, season to season. Sorry no TVs. Just enjoy the natural views!
Savour morning tea or an evening cocktail on the private balconies, as you soak in the enchanting views of this tranquil retreat.
To feel even more special in this uncrowded setting you can plump for their independent two-tiered Villa (measuring 5000 sq. ft) fitted with a private infinity pool, in a picturesque wooded setting. Savour untrammelled views of the lake and surrounding foothills. It also has a private dining place. Enjoy the services of a personal butler. It's just 10 minutes away from the main complex.
While each guestroom is appointed to pamper and comfort, the curated services provide that extra heft and exclusivity to the entire experience.
Meals are an integral part of a holiday experience and the resort pulls out all the stops to pamper your taste buds with delicious offerings. Discover the unique delights of a traditional Paniya (roti made between Palaash leaves) and yummy barbeque delicacies. Indulge in a luxurious high tea on a private boat and wrap up your day with a sundowner at Leopard Point.
The entertainment room is well equipped with board games and music. You can even catch up on your cricket matches during the season.
Staying at Chunda Oudi means you also get to explore its private game reserve. You can enjoy an exclusive jungle safari stalking its six resident leopards, amongst other wild denizens, such as the golden jackal, the star tortoise and the Indian rock python, the ruddy mongoose and Indian hare for whom this is home. The private lake allows for indulgences such as fishing for sawal, the snake-headed fish, and the famous Mahseer (catch and release only), bird watching and even moonlight boat rides. Ride a fast Marwari horse, learn pottery making and enjoy fun moments stargazing in unpolluted skies here. Cycling tours and nature walks with the in-house naturalist offer a fresh twist to your outdoor experiences here.
Little wonder that Chunda Shikar Oudi with its luxurious appointments, uncrowded jungle setting and serene vibe is such a hit with well-heeled industrialists and celebrities from the motion pictures business.
