Rajasthan, India

Wake up in your own luxurious Rajasthani hunting tent to the sunrise over a serene lake, as flocks of parakeets careen overhead and herds of gazelles graze on the distant bank. Chhatra Sagar is camping as you’ve never experienced it before. Dotted along the top of a 19th-century dam, the elegant hand-stitched white-canvas tents are furnished with interiors block-printed in traditional floral motifs. Each has its own marble and slate en-suite bathroom and private sit-out overlooking the water, where, in winter, some 250 species of birds congregate. The pillows are plump, the food terrific and views sublime, especially from the nearby hillside where your hosts, Harsh and Shrinidhi Vardhan, take guests for an unforgettable sun-downer.
