Jaipur has always had a hold on me – the warm hospitality, grandeur feel, lip-smacking cuisine, and unmatched charm. And I felt blessed when we got a chance to visit the city together for the second time, so this time we decided to go a little offbeat and include different experiences in the itinerary.
One experience that most people hardly associate with holidaying in Jaipur is Glamping. Yes, there is a thing called glamping and it exists in Jaipur too. If you are planning on heading to Jaipur over a short weekend, you just have to book yourselves a stay at the Lebua Lodge Amer, for its exciting and luxurious camping experience.

All those seeking perfect glam camping experience in Jaipur must put Lebua Lodge high on their list. With striking futurist tents and canvas cubes against the showcase of rocky hills – Lebua Lodge assures a memorable experience.
It’s about 4½ hour drive away from Delhi and 5½ hour drive from Jodhpur. Travelers who desire something off the grid and yet remains truthful to the Indian roots, Lebua is just ideal for them.
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly at the reception room with a welcome drink (apple juice). The entry gate was grand and so was the reception. Everything looks super quiet and magical the minute you step into Lebua Lodge at Amer Jaipur.
We couldn’t find many people around – it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. We were handed out our keys immediately on arrival and subsequently escorted to the lodge.
This one is for those travelers who want to take their time to enjoy where they are, sit back, relax, and take moments to appreciate life. There are a few activities organized for free by the luxury resort, which includes camel riding and cycling.
It was fun riding bicycles in the evening and interacting one-to-one with the camel, Babloo. Yes, you can see our pictures petting the camel. Of course we did not ride the camel as we do not support the activity. Be a responsible traveler!
You can also use your time to explore Jaipur and discover its various attractions the next day. Star gazing from the outdoor seats is perhaps most recommended to unwind from your busy lives.
We just cannot fault the tents, hospitality, and facilities at the Lebua Lodge at Amer Jaipur. Since returning home, we’ve suggested a lot of our friends to plan a glamping weekend trip to this gorgeous property.
You can book a Luxury Tent here for 82USD per night twin share basis.
Definitely my kind of camping. So unique! I’d love to go back to Jaipur one day and this would be a great place to stay.
Oh yes Kathryn, you are going to love being here. Its surely going to make for a comfortable stay in Jaipur. 🙂
Fell in love as soon as I saw the first photo! What a great place to get away from it all for a few nights. I’ve never been luxury camping before, but I definitely want to!
Yes Sarah, if you ever get a chance to come to India, explore Jaipur and opt for glamping in Lebua. Its going to be an amazing experience. 😉
That swimming pool is to die for!! Lebua lodge seems like a perfect getaway place if one is looking for amazing glamping experience. Thanks for the share and you guys looks adorable 🙂
Btw, how far is this from the main city?
Hey Suma, thanks for your sweet compliment 🙂 .. Lebua is about half an hour drive from the main market. Its 8 minutes drive from Amer Fort. You can totally consider a stay here! 😉
I would have never thought of camping as an accommodation option in Jaipur! I really like this idea. Were there any places to have bonfires? That’s my favorite part of camping, and I wouldn’t want to miss out!
Hey Brianna, We found this option in Jaipur after a lot of research and were glad to find one! We loved it at Lebua. And no, there wasn’t an option for bonfires, though we love them too. But even without that, we quite enjoyed our stay there. 🙂
These “tents” look gorgeous! Very luxurious indeed. What a beautiful experience to stay in one! Cycling would be a good way of getting around.
Cycling was cherry on the cake. Then there was an option for camel ride too. A holiday here would be just an ideal option! 😉
I’d love to do some glamping in India! The tents look more luxurious than most hotels and the surrounding scenery is breathtaking! It seems like the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The pool is gorgeous too!
Absolutely Erika. Everything about this lodge was luxe. You can definitely consider a stay here! Highly recommended! 🙂
It looks like you had a fab stay! 🙂 This is something I definitely would like to experience. Perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city.
You should, Ryazan. It will make for a superb stay in Jaipur. So luxurious! 🙂
Wonderful! Its always fun to go on a bicycle ride around a new place, adventures! By the pictures I can tell you guys had a great time!
I’d love to see India in general, thanks for sharing something different than standard destinations and yet so attractive and interesting! It looks great and pretty cheap, such a combo! Also, with the nature all around it seems so peaceful and relaxing.. No wonder you guys had a good time! 😉
wow that place looks beautiful. We were just in Jaipur and loved it there! How much was it there a night?
