History
RAAS Chhatrasagar is a 16-tent camp on the Chhatra Sagar dam at Nimaj in Rajasthan, a century-old stone bund that created a private lake for the thakur family. RAAS Hotels opened the contemporary canvas suites, designed by Studio Lotus, so that each tent sits on the dam with water on one side and scrub on the other. AHEAD Asia recognised the camp in 2022 in the lodges, cabins and tented camps category.
