While we give Rajasthan a wide berth in summer, the chance to witness the onset of the monsoon here is particularly special. And The Oberoi Rajvilas, a palatial 32-acre property on the outskirts of Jaipur, with luxury villas and tented suites, is a royal oasis. Quiet and peaceful, the only sounds you’ll hear here are birdcalls, from the numerous species that live amid the jacarandas and gulmohars (keep an eye out for the peacocks). Cocoon yourself in luxury, walk the grounds and stop at the 280-year-old Shiva temple, or visit the herb garden to see just how fresh the produce that makes it to your plate really is. Don’t leave without partaking in the Oberoi Signature massage at the spa, which will set you right no matter your aches or pains.
