General's Retreat

Intro

The General’s Retreat is nestled near Jaipur, in the lap of the Aravallis. It is a peaceful homestay that is an hour from the city and run by retired Major General Atesh Chahar and his wife, Praggya. What started as a family home for Atesh and Praggya, during the uncertain times of the pandemic has evolved into a tranquil homestay that showcases their life’s journey and values. Atesh had a decorated military career that saw him involved in notable operations, including the Kargil War. His stories of bravery and encounters with militants are a treasure for guests who seek to learn about India’s defence history firsthand. Having travelled extensively across India and abroad, hosting dignitaries and delegates, both Atesh and Praggya bring a wealth of hospitality experience. Their home reflects their love for detail, adventure, and thoughtful living. This pet-friendly homestay is a peaceful retreat, complete with a pool for cooling off in the summer months. Meals are curated based on guest preferences, offering a mix of Rajasthani and North Indian dishes. Mrs. Chahar is always present to oversee the kitchen to ensure quality in every meal.Built with sustainability in mind, the property uses natural materials like limestone and sandstone, incorporates composting, and grows herbs for the kitchen in a mini garden. Even the linens are made from 100% cotton, and the Chahars avoid plastics as much as possible, staying true to their vision of maintaining harmony with nature.
