Chokhiwadi Forest Retreat - A Luxury Resort in Sariska

Where Nature Leads and We Follow

Chokhiwadi Forest Retreat is one of the best luxury resort in Sariska, set on the quiet slopes of the Aravalli Hills, right next to Sariska National Park. It’s a boutique eco-luxury property built for all seasons, where rustic living, natural beauty, and genuine comfort exist in the same place without fighting each other.

More than 90% of the property follows Rajasthan’s Eco-Tourism policy, dedicated to organic food forests, farm to table gardens, and indigenous green cover. We didn’t build over the land. We worked around it.

People come here for different reasons. Some need a weekend away from screens. Some bring their families. Some come for corporate offsites, yoga retreats, or a celebration that deserves a better backdrop than a banquet hall. Whatever brings you here, the forest delivers. Guided nature walks, trekking, birdwatching, stargazing, bonfire nights, and wildlife safaris are all part of a regular stay.

What ties it all together is the place itself. Rural Rajasthan, traditional hospitality, luxury experiences and a commitment to travel that doesn’t cost the land more than it gives back. If you’re looking for adventure, quiet, or something in between, this is where that starts.

Chokhoiwadi Sariska resort Team

OUR STORY

Chokhiwadi was nothing but open land in 2022. The founders built it from scratch, planting over 20,000 native trees and nurturing 9.5 acres of wild grass to create a resort in Sariska that’s forested, shaded, and genuinely alive.

Sustainability, community, and culture weren’t things added on later. They were the foundation. Over 90% of the land is dedicated to organic food forests and indigenous green cover because that’s what the place asked for.

People who come here often say the same thing. The mornings feel different. The evenings feel longer. Something about the forest and the quiet makes everything else feel less urgent. That’s just what happens when a place is built honestly.

"Embrace the wild, escape the noise, rediscover your poise"

Explore Our Unique Spaces

For Nature

At the heart of Chokhiwadi lies a small hidden gem, a hand-crafted Rajasthani baori, or pond, inspired by the ancient water wisdom of the desert. Built using local stone and lime plaster, the baori is more than a cooling refuge; it’s a quiet tribute to a time when water was sacred and gathering around it was a daily ritual. The water is recycled for the lawns to ensure no resources go to waste. Here, mornings shimmer with reflection, and evenings echo with stillness. Nesting trees planted around the pond encourage peacocks, jungle babblers, and our resident geese to visit. Guests often find themselves drawn to it—whether to sit in contemplation, dip their feet in its cool waters, or simply admire how sky and earth meet in its mirrored depths.

A Cool Reprieve

Among Sariska resorts, Chokhiwadi has a pool that is the kind of place you did not know you needed until you were already in it. It sits open to 360 degrees of surrounding hills and wilderness, with the Sariska wild just beyond its edges. In winter, guests bask in the low afternoon sun with a drink from the adjacent restaurant. In summer, the water is the whole point. There is no background noise here except wind and birdsong. No crowds, no music you did not choose. Just the pool, the hills, and the particular silence that comes from being far from a city. It is the simplest thing we offer, and somehow the one people talk about the most on their way home.

The Lair

The Lair is our lounge, styled like a British hunter’s lodge from another era. Antique weapons on the walls, old paintings, a gramophone in the corner, and curios collected from across the subcontinent. The bookshelves hold a real working library, with both recent titles and archived volumes, the kind you can actually borrow. At the center sits a royal ceremonial throne carved from a single piece of wood, with three snakes, a turtle, a toad, and a dragon worked into its frame. People photograph it constantly. It has become something of a symbol of the resort, though it was never meant to be. It was simply too extraordinary to leave out.

The Gym

The Gym is for guests who maintain their routine wherever they are. It is minimal, clean, and honest, a sunlit room with large windows opening onto lush green trees and the Aravallis beyond. The view means your squats come with a proper backdrop. Equipment covers the basics well: treadmills, steppers, cycles, weights, skipping ropes, yoga mats, and full-length mirrors. The space is quiet by design, built for focus rather than distraction. You can choose your own music, fragrance, and lighting, or leave everything off and just move. Whether you are stretching at sunrise or running out on a long day, the Gym holds a kind of calm that most city gyms lack. The mountains outside help.

The Yoga Lawn

Named Vaayu after the element of air, our yoga lawn is one of the quieter reasons people seek out resorts in Sariska Rajasthan for a proper reset. It sits open to the sky at a lower level, completely secluded from the rooms and noise above. Bougainvillea walls bloom around it, organic gardens border it on one side, and the Aravallis rise across the panorama. It can hold up to 400 people, but it never feels like a venue. Instructors are on call for sunrise breathwork, midday meditation, or sunset stretches, whether you are here alone, with family, or as part of a corporate offsite. The air at this elevation feels cleaner and cooler, with none of the heaviness that follows you out of a city.

The Camp

Tucked away at one end of the property, The Camp is where the real outdoors begins. Thirty-five portable tents go up across a clearing framed by hills and forest on every side. It holds around 100 people, but it never feels crowded.
Shared washrooms keep things comfortable without killing the adventure. Nights here tend to find their own shape. A bonfire that goes longer than planned, karaoke that no one asked for but everyone joined, a pyjama party under more stars than you’re used to seeing. This is our most affordable space, but affordable doesn’t mean less. It means you’re trading a ceiling for an open sky and a locked door for fresh air. Groups who come for a night usually wish they’d booked two. The Sariska camping experience here has a way of doing that to people.

The Food Forest

Our Food Forest is exactly what the name says, a living, working forest planted and tended by our founders from the beginning. Over 7,000+ trees are scattered thoughtfully across the resort, bearing pomegranates, lemons, gooseberries, papayas, and oranges through the seasons. The harvest goes to our kitchen and to nearby village communities. Nothing sits behind a gate. In a few years, when the canopy fills in properly, this will become a dense private forest, the kind that takes generations to grow. It started as a vision rooted in sustainability and community. Now it is a daily reality you can walk through, pick from, and sit inside. The quiet that collects under those trees on a warm afternoon is reason enough to visit on its own.

A Taste of Rajasthan

Discover Local Cuisine

At Chokhiwadi, food is not just a meal. It’s a memory in the making. Our kitchen draws from the heart of Rajasthan, where every recipe carries the weight of generations and every spice tells a story. Using farm-fresh, seasonal ingredients grown right on our land, our chefs craft dishes that honour the bold, earthy soul of this desert kingdom. From hearty dal baati churma to slow-cooked laal maas, every bite is a journey into authentic Rajasthani flavour, made with local hands, local love, and a generous pinch of tradition.

Dine under a canopy of stars by The Baori, savour high tea deep in the jungle, or sip sundowners as the Aravallis blush golden at dusk. Settle into our hilltop restaurant with sweeping views of the forest, where the wilderness becomes your dining companion. Whether it’s an intimate private dinner or a lazy afternoon meal surrounded by birdsong, every setting at Chokhiwadi is as unforgettable as the food on your plate.

Over 10,000 indigenous trees now grow across our property, and the waterholes we have built carry wildlife through the harsh summer months.
