Manvar Shergarh, The Desert Resort

 Manvar Shergarh, The Desert Resort

An afternoon check-in and next day afternoon checkout. Just an overnight, but a most memorable and enjoyable stay. Excellent weather with just a nip in the air was also a great help in making the stay very comfortable. Manvar Shergarh, The Desert Resort is located almost halfway between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer on Rajasthan State Highway 28. If your aim is to visit Rajasthan for sightseeing, the tourist attractions at Jaisalmer or Jodhpur, sightseeing at either Jaisalmer or Jodhpur, while staying at Manavar Shergarh, the Desert Resort, is not possible, and so it would not be a place for you to stay. If you just want to 'chill - out', get away from it all, the mad rush of life, just relax and de-stress, ManvarShergarh, the Desert Resort is just the place for you. Many years ago, the place started as a roadside tea shack serving tea and local snacks. Due to the good and tasty quality of food and service, it gained popularity. Business thrived. Over the years, the property was expanded, and it is a substantial property today. At some distance, a "Tented- Resort" has also been added. We did not have a look at it. Extensive tree plantations over the years have made the property a green, thickly wooded oasis in the harsh desert surroundings. The swimming pool is stunning in the midst of a desert. The rooms and the property is tastefully adorned with plentiful, local, Rajasthani knick-knacks and artefacts. They add a really nice touch and a visual delight. Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Staff is polite and attentive to your every need and provide service with a smile. Food is tasty and not too spicy. Prepared as your requirements and served hot. Hugely enjoyed the "egg bhurjee" and all the food we had ordered. The room rentals put Manvar Shergarh, the Desert Resort in the 'mid-range' category. However, the prices on the menu card with a cup of tea, if my memory serves me right, at Rs 174/-, definitely puts it in the 'luxury' category, but let that not deter you. I would definitely recommend it and would love to repeat the experience.
