Experience country life in rural Rajasthan. Kot Dunara is a heritage country home with modern day creature comforts that offers a personal and exclusive country house experience to its' guests, without impacting the rawness and beauty of the village community life and the neighbouring countryside. Walking off the beaten path, Kot Dunara opens up the unblemished Rajasthan.
The Kot is my ancestral family home. I have great interest in the preservation of my family history and culture. We welcome all visitors to the Kot as our personal house guests and want them to enjoy an authentic rural Rajasthan getaway.
Kot Dunara is an experiential getaway. We have experiences and activities designed to ensure that our guests get an insight and experience of our way of life. Enjoy sundowners and high tea in the wilderness after spotting local wildlife and birding, go on a jeep safari to the neighbouring villages and meet local artisans to appreciate and understand their handiwork, enjoy a camel ride in the desert, go for a guided village walk of the Dhundhara village or master a local dish by attending a personal cooking class at the Kot.
