About the property: 

Nestled in the scenic foothills of the Aravalli Hills bordering Sariska National Park, Chokhiwadi Forest Retreat is a boutique eco-luxury hideaway where natural beauty, slow living, and understated comfort come together effortlessly. A true four-season destination, the retreat offers a peaceful escape rooted in nature, sustainability, and authentic Rajasthani hospitality. The name ‘Chokhiwadi’ itself reflects the essence of the retreat. In Hindi and Rajasthani, Chokhi means “exquisite” or “just right,” while Wadi means “valley” - together translating to “an exquisite valley.” Tucked away amidst the Aravallis, Chokhiwadi is a thoughtfully nurtured green pocket created as a tribute to slow mornings, meaningful experiences, and the charm of Rajasthan’s rich traditions.

Built in harmony with nature, the retreat follows Rajasthan’s Eco-Tourism policy, with over 500 acres dedicated to organic food forests, native greenery, sustainable poultry farming, and farm-to-table gardens. Rather than building over the land, every space has been thoughtfully designed around it. Sustainability is deeply woven into the retreat’s philosophy, from the use of natural materials and wastewater recycling to preserving native landscapes and supporting local communities.

The retreat comprises three unique stay categories - Mud Hut, inspired by traditional Rajasthani architecture and offering a warm, earthy stay surrounded by lush greenery and rustic charm; Glamping Tent, blending wilderness with comfort through sweeping hill views and cozy handcrafted interiors; and Luxury Cottage, designed for spacious, serene stays that combine understated luxury with the tranquility of nature. Ideal for screen-free weekends, family getaways, yoga retreats, corporate off-sites, and intimate celebrations, Chokhiwadi Forest Retreat offers an immersive wilderness experience designed to help guests slow down and reconnect with nature. From guided forest walks, trekking trails, and farm-to-table experiences to wildlife safaris, birdwatching, guided night safaris in the buffer zone, stargazing sessions, bonfire evenings, movie nights, camping under the stars, cookouts with chefs, and intimate candlelit dinners beneath the night sky - or simply lazing by the pool surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Aravallis - every experience here feels peaceful, restorative, and deeply connected to the rhythm of the forest.

Beyond the wilderness, Chokhiwadi also offers immersive cultural experiences that bring guests closer to the spirit of Rajasthan. From traditional Rajasthani cooking sessions and folk performances to heritage walks, bonfire evenings, and organic farm-to-table dining, every experience is thoughtfully curated to reflect the region’s rich culture, warmth, and slow rhythm of life.

Dining at Chokhiwadi Forest Retreat is rooted in simplicity, seasonality, and authentic regional flavours. At Spice Aangan, meals are thoughtfully prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including produce from the retreat’s own organic food forest. The menu brings together Rajasthani specialities, Mughlai classics, Indian favourites, and select global dishes, all centred around honest cooking and balanced flavours.

Upon request, the retreat also curates intimate dining experiences, from quiet candlelight dinners and bonfire evenings to open-air picnic brunches and moonlit four-course meals, each thoughtfully designed to create memorable moments amidst the wilderness.
