Nimaj sits less than three hours east of Jodhpur and five hours west of Jaipur and has been made famous due to Chaatra Sagar; one of India’s most idyllic tented camps that is perched on a dam, just outside of the village. The dam dates back to the early 19th century; it was built by a powerful nobleman to conserve the monsoon rains. The area is rural, teeming with bird life, and is a quintessential rural India. Stopping here for one or two nights works perfectly if travelling by car between Jaipur and Jodhpur.
