Escape to Nature: Mahendra Niwas, Sahrawada

Nestled in the heart of Rajasthan, where once the land bore the harsh scars of Kota stone mining, today flourishes a green haven—thoughtfully envisioned and brought to life by Rawat Mahendra Singh Hada. This land, once depleted and forgotten, has been lovingly revived into a peaceful retreat, blending natural beauty, cultural heritage, and regenerative purpose. In the early 2000s, this land near Mukundra Hills was barren, dry, and lifeless—a scarred remnant of decades of mining. But with patience and purpose, Rawat Mahendra Singh Hada began the painstaking process of rejuvenating the soil, refilling the mined earth, and planting hundreds of native and fruit-bearing trees. By 2008, the land had bloomed into a vibrant landscape—a symbol of renewal, resilience, and a deep connection to nature. At the heart of the property lies a natural lagoon, once a Kota stone mine, now a beautiful and essential rainwater harvesting reservoir. It supports the land during dry seasons and stands as a powerful example of sustainability—turning an industrial wound into a life-giving resource.

The architecture of the property is inspired by the regal charm of Mewar, where traditional Rajasthani design meets eco-conscious living. The structure is built using locally sourced Kota stone and marble, with the very Kota stone once mined from this land now forming the courtyards, walkways, and flooring. You will find arched doorways, latticed jaali windows, stone-carved columns, and airy courtyards, all thoughtfully designed to reflect the timeless elegance of Mewar while providing natural comfort in Rajasthan’s climate. This is more than just a stay—it is a family-run retreat, where every guest is welcomed with heartfelt hospitality. Surrounded by mango, guava, and citrus orchards, with farmlands, a private lake, and a swimming pool, the property offers a rare blend of comfort and countryside. Guests can enjoy fruit-picking, outdoor dining under orchard canopies, and evenings by the lakeside bonfire, reconnecting with nature and heritage in every moment. Around 15 minutes from the Chechat exit of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, and close to the wild beauty of the Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve, this hidden gem offers peace, beauty, and a story worth being part of.
