Zari Debuts with Bijapur Lodge in Jawai

Bijapur Lodge Marks Zari’s Entry into Boutique Hospitality

Zari has launched its hospitality brand with the opening of Bijapur Lodge in Jawai, Rajasthan. The six-suite retreat marks the brand’s first property and reflects its focus on experience-led stays inspired by local culture, thoughtful design and meaningful guest experiences.

Located in Jawai’s granite landscape, the lodge has been designed to offer travellers a quieter, more personalized stay while fostering a closer connection with the region’s wildlife, communities and traditions.

Boutique Retreat in Jawai

Set across five acres of restored natural landscape, Bijapur Lodge features six suites designed to blend with the surrounding environment. The property focuses on space, comfort and sustainable hospitality while providing guests with a peaceful base for exploring the destination.

The lodge has been designed for travellers seeking privacy, personalized service and nature-based experiences in Rajasthan’s well-known leopard habitat.

Wildlife and Cultural Experiences

One of the lodge’s main experiences is its private leopard safari, led by experienced naturalists who introduce guests to Jawai’s ecosystem and the long-standing relationship between the area’s leopard population and the Rabari community.

Guests can also take part in guided village walks, birdwatching, boat rides, sunrise yoga sessions and sunset experiences overlooking Jawai’s granite hills.

Local Cuisine

Dining at Bijapur Lodge highlights regional flavours through menus prepared with locally sourced and seasonal ingredients.

Traditional Rajasthani dishes, including Dal Baati Churma, Laal Maas and Ker Sangri, form part of the culinary experience, offering guests an introduction to the region’s food heritage.

Expansion Plans

The management of Zari said the brand aims to create boutique hospitality experiences centred on authentic destinations, local culture and personalised service.

Following the opening of Bijapur Lodge, Zari plans to introduce additional properties across India, expanding its portfolio of boutique retreats while maintaining its focus on sustainability, cultural connections and destination-led experiences.
