Farm Aavjo - A Conscious Stay — Hotel in Rajasthan

Would definitely recommend this place to people who are looking for an escape from the daily bustling city life and want to reconnect with nature.

We went to check out Pushkar wali Holi, and found this farm via Instagram. Their experiential rooms and slow-living concept was what made us book.

Room: 4.5/5 we stayed in Prithvi which had garden view. Woke up to sounds of sparrows chirping near our window, and saw some kingfishers tapping on the window as well. Room has all amenities. Didn’t feel like getting up from the mattress, and we have stayed in luxury hotels before so this was definitely a first. there was an AC issue late into the night, around 11 maybe, but that was resolved within an hour. Must applaud the owner- Anshika, for her dedication to serve and always being on her feet, especially during hours when everything was shut down.

Food: 4.5/5 🌶️🌶️ one thing to note- there is no menu or a la carte service per se. Their team curates the menu day-wise. We had to inform them of any dietary preferences or choices during the time of booking, because it’s a conscious stay and wasting food is looked down upon. I told them I want to have mutton so they got that. Also, they make their food organically- vegetables from their own garden. As for taste, it was perfectly spicy, it was authentic Rajasthani food. On Holi, we were served with parathas, poha, and the best chai I’ve ever had. Must try: mutton, chai, boondi raita, thandai.

Service: 4/5 The owners go out of their way to indulge you in the farm experience- we got really comfortable with the farm animals, the staff, and the owners. only hiccup during our trip was this other group of people who had checked in and were pretty terrible guests to be honest- they were cussing the owners because it wasn’t an Airbnb like they had expected and one of them even damaged the property. Food was wasted too and they refused to pay up, causing a ruckus. Up until that point, our experience had been pretty good. I hope the owners do not allow such people to check in again. Spoils the fun :3

Holi: party was by the pool, snacks and food was served there only. View-wise, the location is pretty great, because you get a good view of the Aravalli mountain range- it’s open and somewhat hidden by the bushes surrounding the property, so privacy is guaranteed. We were served with heritage wines- mango and guava. Both were really good, although I think Guava was most preferred. Suggestion: umbrellas for peak sun hours, please. By the tables, preferably.

Others services: Farm therapy: petting horses (Riddhi and Siddhi), feeding the cow (Laxmi), garden plucking activity was pretty fun. Was definitely therapeutic and grounding.

Value for Money: I’d give it a solid 4/5. Overall experience was luxurious in terms of how rejuvenated we were once we came back home, the amenities offered, and the property itself. Would definitely...

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Farm Aavjo. The owner of the property, Anshika, was incredibly hands on and a fantastic host all in all. She had great suggestions for places to try in Pushkar. It was a lot of fun spending time with the farm animals as well. The food was delicious and made mostly with the organic produce of the farm. It was very on-brand and added to the experience. The location of the farm is such that there is a high chance of having a clear (clearer than average) night sky depending on the weather. We did have that and managed to do some bit of stargazing next to the pool. The farm's best part is how easy it is to spend time on the property. The Everything Room is a lovely space to hang out in and you should surely chat with Anshika about everything in it, from the books, the games, the activities to even the showpieces and furniture. It all has a fair bit of thought behind it and the involvement of the property owner in the granular details really gives the Farm a lot of personality. The Farm is getting better everyday and listening about everything planned for the property has me deeply interested in visiting again. I loved my time here and I'm sure other will too. It's a new spot but definitely more special than a regular hotel/airbnb/resort. Thanks to the Farm Aavjo team for a...

Recently visited Farm Aavjo in Pushkar. I was immediately in awe of all the tiny details which made my experience truly a "conscious stay". The greens and the browns of the farm fell together in a perfect harmony and were so easy on the eyes. The moment I entered the foyer I was washed over by the most calming natural fragrance. My room had a small door leading to a private terrace where I sat and stargazed in the night. Away from the hustle bustle of the city, I truly felt at peace. It was so lovely interacting with the farm animals- the geese, the horses, the cow, and the most beautiful cat- cookie. The farm director- Anshika was a lovely host and organised amazing activities such as coloring mandalas, a home brewed wine tasting session, and a beautiful night at the Pushkar ghat. The food was the most exceptional. All in all, I can't wait to visit again in summers so I can jump in the pool (couldn't this time because it was cold) and forget all my worries again....
