Premkunj, Udaipur

Rajasthan, India

Heritage

Udaipur, naturally.

Set on the edge of Badi Village, surrounded by the Aravalli Hills and the forests of the Sajjangarh Wildlife Reserve, Premkunj was conceived as an intimate countryside retreat that places nature at the centre of the experience. With just eight rooms, the property combines the warmth of a private homestay with thoughtfully designed interiors, curated art, and a strong connection to its surroundings. Managed by Bhupendra Singh Chundawat of the erstwhile royal family of Bassi, Premkunj reflects a personal vision of hospitality rooted in local culture, outdoor exploration, and unhurried living. Its proximity to both Badi Lake and Udaipur allows guests to balance time in nature with the city's rich heritage.

What you would love

Premkunj is well suited to travellers seeking a quieter side of Udaipur, where mornings begin with birdsong, lakeside walks, or sunrise hikes through the Aravallis. The intimate scale of the property, personalised hosting, farm-to-table dining, and easy access to nature experiences create an atmosphere that encourages slower, more immersive travel.

Perfectly RARE

The sunrise trek along the 'Premkunj Trail' begins at the property and climbs through surrounding hills. Chai with sweeping views at the top more than justifies the early start.

Destination

Badi Village, just 30 minutes from Udaipur, sits adjacent to the verdant Sajjangarh Wildlife Reserve and is surrounded by the Aravalli Hills, the world's oldest mountain range. It’s a 10-minute walk to Badi Lake and a 30-minute drive to Udaipur, which means you can enjoy early morning walks and birdwatching, then explore the city's palaces and bazaars.

Design & Concept

The dream was to create a luxurious homestay that offered experiences transcending mere services and amenities. Once the perfect location surrounded by nature and birdsong was found, things began to take shape. Two years later, the dream became a reality. Premkunj's attention to detail shines through in its architecture, artfully designed interiors, and hand-picked art and artefacts, and, together with experiences in the Aravalli that frame the property, makes it a memorable property.

Hosts

Bhupendra Singh Chundawat belongs to the Royal family of Bassi, Chittorgarh, 150 kilometres from Udaipur. Rulers of that land for 500 years with the title 'Rawat', he resides in the ancestral family residence with his mother. Bhupendra has been an avid traveller and storyteller all his life. When not managing the finer details at Premkunj with genuine warmth and hospitality, he can be found horse-riding, travelling, listening to music, and playing polo.

Facilities

Reading corners and the library lounge provide quiet spaces for relaxation. The organic garden is a delight, allowing guests to pick vegetables and herbs with the chef's team for their next meal, whilst special barbecue evenings can be hosted on request. If you are feeling adventurous, nature and village walks, treks into the nearby sanctuary, and horseback riding can all be arranged. And the deep blue pool is the perfect spot for serious rest.

Dining

At Premkunj, meals are created to suit every palate, from traditional Rajasthani cuisine to continental and oriental fare. Guests can choose vegetables and herbs directly from the organic garden with the chef's team, who then prepare the selections for the next meal. The kitchen is also happy to accommodate special dietary requirements for meals, which can be enjoyed indoors in the air-conditioned restaurant, on the terrace or al fresco under the stars.

Experience

Apart from the sights of Udaipur city, there is plenty to do at Premkunj. The pool is the ideal place to unwind after a day out. Yoga and meditation sessions can be organized upon prior request. Evenings are for bonfires and barbecues, with cultural performances available on request.

Hike Bahubali Hill

Bahubali (Badi) Hill is a gentle trek that offers stunning views across the surrounding countryside, the Aravalli beyond and the lake below. It is particularly spectacular at sunrise when the light transforms the valley and the morning light shimmers on the lake.

Relax at the Badi Lake

Badi Lake, just a short walk from Premkunj, is a great place for birdwatching, as many local and migratory species flock here, particularly during the winter months. If you fancy a leg stretch, take a leisurely walk around the lake to appreciate its natural beauty fully.

Explore the Sajjangarh Sanctuary

The proximity to Sajjangarh Sanctuary allows for walks and jeep safaris, and it is a treasure trove for nature lovers, adventurers, birdwatchers, and photographers.
