Manvar is located between the ancient cities of Jodhpur ( 90 minutes ) Jaisalmer ( two hours ) and Bikaner ( 2 hours and 30 minutes ). Manvar was developed by Moti Singh Rathore a family member of the Thakurs of Shergarh.Shergarh is an area located between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer.Manvar is spread over five acres of land and it is located in the the heart of the sand dune region of Rajasthan.Today Manvar nestles close to the ground almost blending with the surrounding landscape - it has not only become a tourist destination but also an economic hub around which a large portion of the neighbouring villages draw their sustenance.
Manvar is an ideal base to explore village desert life ,culture, and wildlife.It offers contrasting desert experiences as the desert resort built in traditional desert village style is like an oasis well watered and green.The tented camp seven kms from the resort in the desert is a rare sanctuary of pristine beauty ,tranquillity and peace. What better way to spend a day on camel back gazing at the shy Indian gazelle as they make way across the silent sands or see a herd of cattle and sheep roaming around in a relaxed manner. Watch the children trotting off to school, while their mothers prepare their afternoon meal on dung-fire in the village.
Manvar is an ideal place to enjoy the desert and activities like camel riding, village jeep safaris,bird watching trips and village walks can be arranged here. The tented camp operates from October until mid April and evenings here will include a campfire,music and dancing.
