Utsav Camp Sariska

A mostly barren parcel of land in the Tehla region was bought in May 2009 by a trained naturalist raised on his grandfather's stories of Sariska. The grandfather, Sampat Singh Shekhawat, was among the last generation of Indian forest officers trained by British officials, and he guided the planting. Many trees died and were put in again. The camp took its first guest on 10 October 2015.

Seven hectares now carry 18 rooms: nine Stone Cabins of 900 sq ft, three Forest Bungalows of 1,000 sq ft and six Forest Villas, each a duplex of 1,800 sq ft over two floors. Buildings were set around the existing trees rather than clearing them. The Forest Lounge is a rooftop restaurant, the Baithak serves teas and snacks, and dinner is laid out in the Courtyard around bonfires. There is a library holding the camp's only television, a spa, and a pool 40 ft by 20 ft, unheated. Boulder formations dated to between 1,000 and 2,500 million years old ring the property, with the Aravalli hills behind. Rajgarh station is 24 km away, Jaipur airport 116 km.
