My husband and I stayed at the Shantigriha at the bookends of a two-week journey throughout Rajasthan. India can be difficult to navigate, even for experienced travelers, and I would highly recommend consulting Sahil and Shakti before planning your trip! Not only did they introduce us to a one-in-a-million driver, Sunil Sharma, who accompanied us throughout Rajasthan and found the most beautiful and hospitable havelis at the best prices, but they greeted us as old friends upon our return and served the best dal we had in India - from a treasured family recipe. All of the food we had at the Shantigriha was outstanding and seemed truly authentic - fresh-baked chapatis, mint chutneys and pickled onions, whole egg curries, chick peas with black spices, always cooked to order. Everything about the stay was thoroughly enjoyable - from the morning chats with Shakti over tea in the garden to conversations with him about the many antiques he's collected from around the world over the years, to waking up to the sound of the family's parakeets. Do not come to India without first calling Sahil and Shakti to help you plan your trip, especially if you want to glimpse the real India. Make sure, as well, to request Sunil as your driver!
