My wife and I went on a tour with Mysteries of India in March, just before the lockdown. One of the places we stayed at was this priceless gem. Mr and Mrs Singh,the owners, treated us like royalty. The home stay only has only five rooms and we were the only guests at the time. It was my wife's special birthday and Mrs Singh, who is an excellent cook who prepared six individual dishes to choose from every day, cooked an even more special meal as well as helping us celebrate with firework and a homemade birthday cake. Honestly, we have never been treated so well. We didn't make use of their excellent swimming pool as we didn't have our swimming gear, but it did look inviting. The walk around the village that Mr Singh gave us was really interesting and showed us some of the local cottage industries including block printing, rose growing to make jam and perfumes and the local potter. In the morning of our final day we visited the local market and flower market. Our two night stay was truly wonderful!

Treated like royalty

Nimaj Kothi is a recently built two storey house literally built on a sand dune set within tranquil farmland.   Our hosts could not have been more friendly or accommodating. Our driver was sent home and our host took us for a guided tour of the local town and villages, first to buy vegetables for supper, then to a rose water distillery, a tie-die cottage industry and a gooseberry farm.  We then walked through the local farms before supper... a real treat. Children collected from school by, tractor or motorbike, women milking cows.... tractors in the fields with their speakers blaring out Bollywood music to the surrounding countryside, wild peacocks and a myriad of other birds.  The food is different to anything we were to experience elsewhere in India... maybe not my favourite, but definitely home-made with love!  Dinner in one lovely arbour with brazier (it was November) and breakfast at the highest point of the sand dune on a specially created patio, the multitude of dishes carried up there by the two attentive local boys who work in the house.   All slightly surreal, but well worth the detour.

Wonderful setting, extraordinary hospitality from the genial hosts

Stunning location and wonderfully hosts that fully interacted with our family. Nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend the trips and walks. The father an daughter in law were very knowledgable  and good fun which made the trips enjoyable . We experienced true village community life from local school , early morning visit to fruit/veg market,fabric block printing and the milk collection depot.

Best Hotel of the trip 

This was our first experience of a home stay in India and it was an outstanding success.  The family were extremely welcoming and one cannot fault  the comfort of the rooms. Located some 5 ks from Pushkar it is the place to stay for peace and tranquility.

A comfortable home stay

It's well worth going slightly out of your way to stay here. A grand house in the middle of a remote area with lovely comfortable rooms and beautiful surrounding gardens. The family's hospitality is amazing and the food is the best I've had in India (the owner is writing a cookbook!) Could not recommend enough.

Peaceful place with amazing food

Having never experienced a homestay we were unsure what to expect. The couple who run this lovely property with their daughter-in-law couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Our room was very clean and spacious with very comfortable beds leading on to an upstairs terrace with gorgeous views of the surrounding area. Pushkar is a busy place during the camel fair and after a few hours of madness it was wonderful to come "home" to this oasis of peace filled with birdsong. Meals are lovingly prepared and served in a romantic alcove in the garden for dinner, and on the dune with great views, for breakfast. Our host knocked himself out to make sure we got our early morning photography shoots of the camels, by taking us himself, when our guide was reluctant. He also drove us through the nearby villages to a small family run lovely rose oil distillery.
Our hostesses, both, were charming and very attentive. When I said I had never tasted green gooseberries they produced a home made chutney for breakfast (delicious). When we commented on the internet reception being slow on the terrace, they produced a booster. When we sat by the pool, they searched us out to make sure we didn't want lunch. It was like staying with family friends who were not intrusive but just very caring. It was hard to say good-bye after three nights there and a wonderful introduction to the charms of a homestay.

Wonderful first experience in a homestay

My mother and I stayed for one night in March. We had a very interesting time staying with the owners and their daughter in law who were very happy to share their knowledge of the area and more. They could not have been more welcoming or hospitable. The food was delicious, probably our best meal of our trip to India. For any future visitors the route to the house is down a few windy country roads about 15 mins outside of Pushkar. The house is situated in a beautiful spot with 360 degree views. Seeing sunrise and sunset from the terrace was a real highlight plus the peacocks that greet you in the morning.

Lovely stay at Nimaj Kothi

I absolutely loved my stay at Nimaj Kothi!  The owners and their daughter-in-law took very good care of me -- the meals were five star good.  Seriously, some of the best and unique food I have ever eaten.  My room was bright, clean and cheerful, with birds cheerily waking me in the morning -- it was magical.  The owners took me on two mini tours of the countryside, and I got to visit a local school, dairy, perfume distillery and dairy farm.  This two day visit added so much depth to my appreciation of India and its people.  

Wonderful, Warm and Welcoming!

This is a fairly new, impeccable, boutique property built in the style of a British bungalow that provides great calm, quiet and generous hospitality 10-15 minutes on the outskirts of Pushkar where there is a dearth of decent accommodation. The views over the Pushkar valley are so lovely. The rooms are large, comfortable (if not luxurious) and spotlessly clean. This is an earnest family-run homestay where they take great care of the guests' comfort, happiness and culinary well-being. I loved that they create such gorgeous and different set-ups for each meal. And they can include a fascinating portfolio of activities beyond visiting the holy sites of Ajmer and Pushkar (though I won't be going back to Pushkar any time soon) - cooking classes, farm visits, distillation of rose oil. The family are so eager to welcome and please their guests with such caring that nothing seems too much trouble.
