Lost Civilization stay is a property situated in the midst of a desert where there is no population and life around 20 km’s.
The property has 5 huts and a spacious kitchen hut, each of the hut can accommodate 4 people at max. Out of 5 huts, 3 of them have attached washrooms.
There is a special concept in construction of their bathrooms. The roof of all the washrooms is open. There is a belief in the rural settings that the a body require equal amount of air and light while taking bath for complete rejuvenation of body and soul. The beds inside the huts are made of metal and stone which are more comfortable than the beds we have in our modern houses. The construction of these rooms is completely eco - friendly, where the rooms are made of a mixture of cow dung and clay. The roofs are made by using local grass.
The meals are prepared in wooden stove in their own restaurant, which is also like small cottage with one kitchen, living room and dining room. The large seating area around the kitchen itself offer to dine or just have chai (tea) and chat.
Since,there is no source of electricity therefore oil lamps, solar lamps are there to guide you through the dark during nights and when you are in village, don’t expect those luxury shower treatment. Take a bucket of water from their self constructed well for bathing. Yes, they have their own made well,which is used to store rain water. This well becomes the source of irrigation and other activities for the rest of the year.

The food they serve is the authentic Indian food from the region and additional own style of cooking and making the best use of their resources they have constructed a small underground oven outside their kitchen area where they bake their own fresh bread. The incredible experience of eating those freshly baked bread is a bliss in the midst of desert. To prepare the bread, they bake the dough and keep it overnight in their oven and then cover the oven in hot sand.
Exciting enough?
Along with their own baked bread they produce homemade noodles and pasta and most of the meals they serve are organic from their farm fresh vegetables and dairy products.
Specifically,
In the breakfast, you’ll be served with their own baked bread, cookies along with omelet ,butter, parantha, yogurt, coffee and remember these are from their own diary? They have goats and buffalo in their farm which produce an abundance of diary.
In the lunch, they offer dishes like mix veg, dal ice, pasta or noodles and other seasonal vegetables which are grown in their farm.
They often serve mostly veg dishes as there are variety of vegetables and crops in their farm so they don’t feel the urge to serve non-veg cuisines, but if you still wish to have chicken or mutton, they are always happy to serve them their best of your choice.
The dinner time mostly contains bajra chapatis which is a symbol of rajasthani food and of course a sweet dish in the end of your meal is the perfect end to the day which contains their local sweet dish with chapati or kheer or halwa.
Drooling, isn’t it?
But what adds to the taste of every meal is that everything is prepared in their wooden chulha (stove) as they do not have modern gas system.

Staying in such a remote corner of India which is obviously nowhere in the lanes of the map is itself an experience. Living in such a rural farmstay where you can listen to the inner “you” in such a tranquility, living in the nature where the only sound you’ll listen is the sound of birds and animals.
