The welcome with aarti and tikka set the tone. By the time the folk musicians started, we had forgotten the city entirely.
Ananya IyerTravelled from Bengaluru
Our tent was quietly luxurious, the bathroom spotless, and dinner on the sand under lantern light is something our family still talks about.

We came for the camel safari and stayed for the silence. Waking up to sunrise over the dunes was worth the whole trip.
