about devra

Set on small hillock amidst a lush green estate spread over 5 acres, Devra is a rustic, quaint and tranquil boutique homestay in Udaipur merely 10-15 minutes away from the city center. It allows you quick access to all the major tourist attractions while keeping you away from the city hustle. It has immersive 360-degree panoramic view of the picturesque Aravalli hills, farmlands, the Sajjan Garh fort and an 800-year-old temple.

In local language, ‘Devra’ translates to ‘a tribal temple where God resides’. True to it’s name, Devra believes in the core value of Indian hospitality- “Atithi Devo Bhava” which literally means guests are gods. This pet friendly homestay in Udaipur offers 8 rooms with all modern amenities. This refreshing country property has many nooks and corners for you to relax, read a book, paint or if you just want to reflect upon yourself, making it perfect for couple getaways, family vacations, staycations and artist retreats.
