About Dev Shree Relais

With lemon-yellow walls, Dev Shree is a bright, haveli-style hotel looking out over Ragho Sagar lake. Originally built as a family home, you'll feel just like a friend coming to stay; enjoying the leafy garden and plentiful countryside jaunts. Begin your morning with the house special, 'Mother's omelette', and watch as the birdlife swoops over the lake or painted storks raise their wings to the sun. Apart from Dev Shree's many relaxing alcoves, spend your days exploring on a leopard-spotting drive or train ride through the Aravali hills. It's name means, 'divine blessing', a promise Dev Shree shares with every guest.

What you'll love

The mealtime treats...Pre-dinner drinks around the fire, getting to know the hosts and hearing their rich family anecdotes, before finishing the night with rose sherbets.

Insiders tip

If a leopard is spotted nearby, be ready to hop into a jeep and go in search of it. They have been known to bask in the quarry!

Something to think about

Dev Shree is 100% dog-friendly, and they have dogs of their own. So, whether you're the have-dog-will-travel type or you're not a dog lover, take heed!

The property

The front steps lead past stone elephants onto the veranda which is decked out with wicker chairs and a sunny, central courtyard. With fresh ingredients from the kitchen garden, lunch can be enjoyed on the lawns overlooking the lake and home-style Mewari specialties are served in the casual dining room, accompanied by anecdotes from your hosts. Surrounded by swaying palms, the pool occupies a secluded spot in the garden and the spa room is at your disposal for a relaxing massage.

Activities

Explore the countryside on a birding walk around the lake where you can visit Gokal Fort, hike the Aravalis in search of cave temples, or take a countryside drive for some leopard-spotting - and a picnic! See the jungle in style on a train ride through the Aravali hills, stopping to feed the monkeys at Goram Ghat. Enjoy a guided walk through Deogarh village where you'll find hand-made pottery, mini paintings and jewellery and get a taste for Mewari cooking with a culinary workshop and guided tour of the market.
