The Resort
The Sambhar Heritage resort brings to you a carefully crafted luxury experience right in the middle of nature’s marvel, the Sambhar Salt Lake. We visited the resort recently and were blown away by the rich heritage and culture. The resort combines this history with a smart modernisation which is exactly what we look for in a good vacation. It is like walking away from the daily hustle & bustle into peace & serenity.

This is an 8 suite paradise with the same colonial structure that the resort embodies. It was the clubhouse of the Britishers and holds spacious rooms, en-suite bathroom and even a courtyard. This option is perfect for couples to enjoy a wonderfully private vacation.
