Devshree Deogarh BlogApr 22, 2022Not just a hotel, an experience - The_Doge_1Potomac, MarylandWe spent 2 nights at Dev Shree, as a stop over as we traveled between Udaipur and Jaipur. Dev Shree is more of an exclusive guest house than a hotel. Seven rooms, all very large and well equipped, face a central courtyard. There is a large dining room where they also do cooking demonstrations, and a lovely veranda overlooking the lake and countryside. Our host, Mr. SS as he told us to call him, is actually the scion of the royal family that once ruled this entire region. He speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable and entertaining. He joined us for meals and also is quite a chef. Part of our cooking demonstration was a walk through this small village with a staff member who showed us around and took us to buy the vegetables that would be used in our dinner. An experience you just don't get as a tourist otherwise. In the evening we took a jeep excursion in a large open top safari type vehicle driven by Mr. SS who it turns out also knows everything about the local wildlife and fauna - and of course all kinds of stories. We heard there were some leopards in the area and went in search of sighting them, but didn't that evening. Apparently they are often out however. Just an incredible experience start to finish.Date of stay: April 2022Room tip: All of the room are similar and excellentAsk The_Doge_1 about Dev Shree Deogarh
