Three nights at Apani was a wonderful opportunity to slow down and get in touch with local culture with minimum environmental footprint. The activities are definately worth it, the Camel cart ride, wood carving, and tie dye as well as the bangle making and trip into Nawalgarh with Krishnan. The food was excellent.

My family (two adults and six-year-old child) stayed at Apani Dhani for three nights in early January. It was our last stop on a two week trip in Rajasthan. We enjoyed the entire holiday, and our stay at Apani Dhani was one of the highlights. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our schedule. The vegetarian meals were... More

Very good choice in the interesting shekavati. Rooms are clean and nicely decorated, food is really excellent with vegetables coming from the fields of property of the owners. They organize very interesting visits (in english or french) of the village of Nawalgarh and others in the region. Rooms cost around 1500rs Dinner from 275 to 350rs Breakfast "a la carte"... More

Don't expect too much fun here, you'll probably go to bed at 9 pm. But this is a great place to spend few days to relax in Northern India. The owner built an ecolodge with an ecofarm. You will live in a traditional house and the meal will be cooked with fresh vegetables from the garden. You will have your... More

Stayed for 2 nights at the end of February. Enjoyed the meals: good fresh vegetarian food. Rooms were nicely decorated and clean. Courtyard was peaceful. Took part in the woodwork workshop, which was fun although the guide spent most of the time siting drinking tea. Only real complaint I have is that you are woken at 5am every morning by... More

Unusual Guest House. It is beautifully and cleverly done. The building are surrounded by an organic garden. Owner is passionate and friendly.He speaks fluent french, German, English. We arrived late at night (around 10pm)and the owner opens his door for us!! Eco-lounge is located at a walking distance form the Bus station. I just felt that there was something missing..

We highly recommend travelers who want to discover the local culture to stay at Apani Dhani for at least 2 or 3 nights. It gives a lot of hope to witness how Ramesh and his family truly believe that another type of tourism is possible as an alternative to mass tourism. We all can learn from their 25 years of... More

Our last stop was at Apani Dhani before heading off to Delhi and onward to Sydney. So glad that we chose to stay here towards the end of our Rajasthani travel as I found I needed this respite, far from the maddening crowd of India. Such a unique place to stay where all the vegetables are organically grown. The pollution... More

We arrived at the Apani Dhani for diner with a tuk tuk. The owner is really welcoming and speaks french fluently. You feel like at home here with a special dinner with fresh ingredients from the garden and you dine with the owner. This is one of the best eco friendly restaurant I have ever been in Rajasthan. We also... More
