Nika House is situated in the middle of the desert, 25 km from Jaisalmer, near a small village of a few hundred inhabitants. The village name is Chhatrel. I build here this beautiful camp with authentic eco desert huts. It’s a unique place in busy India, because you can experience real quietness and peace over here. No city noise, honking of cars and pollution. Just spacious, beautiful and vast land around you with just a few passing cows, goats and camels. The space At Nika House rain water is available from the well at our camp. We contribute to the protection of nature and the well-being of the local population. This is why our place is eco friendly by using natural material and local manufacturing methods. At the moment we don’t have electricity but we have a big torch for you to use and you can bring a power bank to charge your devices.There is 4G connection so you can stay in touch with your loved ones. You can also use your stay here as an opportunity to switch off all your devices and connect with nature and it’s silence. Nika House has three huts, two shared toilets (squat and Western style), a bucket for showering with rainwater and a big camp fire pit to use. We have several options for sleeping: (mixed) dormitory style rooms, private (double) and family sized rooms. We offer you free breakfast and dinner (vegetarian, Rajasthani home cooked meals). Lunch is on request and consists of rice, dal and/or vegetable curry, chapati and chai (price is 140 rupees per person). We bring the food to you or we can cook the food together on the fire like is our custom in the desert. Whatever option suits you the best.
