Surya Bagh: A Wilderness Dream Realised
Nestled on the edge of Sariska National Park in Ajabgarh, Surya Bagh is the latest jewel in the crown of hoteliers Surya Pratap Singh and his wife Suman Kumari—also known for Jaipur’s heritage boutique hotel, Suryaa Villa and the serene Umaid Palace in Dausa, located an hour east of Jaipur.
Born from Surya Pratap’s deep love for wildlife and a spontaneous spark during a winter jungle drive, Surya Bagh was envisioned as a luxurious yet soulful retreat. Built over ten acres in the style of an elegant Spanish Bungalow, it offers guests a blend of refined comfort and bespoke luxury, with immersive experiences in the untamed beauty of the Aravalli’s.
True to its roots, Surya Bagh is crafted with the help of local artisans, where heritage meets modern sensibility. Guests are welcomed personally by the hosts who reside on site around the year and drawn into rich conversations about the land’s royal past, local folklore, and sustainable practices. The property champions community involvement, with locals employed on-site and benefiting from healthcare camps, school development, and a village welfare fund.
All guests are accompanied by the hosts or their sons Abhijay & Dhananjay during excursions around Ajabgarh & Sariska, who also reside at Surya Bagh during the winter months.
