The remodelling of an old government property by the Taj Group is the finest – and greenest – choice near Gir National Park. The rooms and huge suites are lush with comforts – they even come with yoga mats! All overlook a river where buffaloes wade and lions have been spotted.
There's also some great birdwatching to be had around the grounds.
Booking online in advance gets serious discounts, and promotional packages that include all meals and safaris are offered.
