Soil to Soul's Rajasthan story does not begin with a promise of ten open hotels. It begins with one honest, bookable property: CLAY Shivani in Udaipur. Guests who already know the brand from Gujarat - Dwarka, Somnath, Gir, Ektanagar - often ask where the Rajasthan circuit starts. The answer today is Udaipur; Kumbhalgarh, Jawai, and Ranthambore join as the roadmap becomes inventory.
That distinction matters for travellers who hate brochure fiction. We would rather host you well in Udaipur now than pretend every future stop is already taking reservations. Use Shivani for lakes, palaces, and the guest-first habit you expect from Soil to Soul, then watch the circuit expand if you are planning multi-stop Rajasthan across the next seasons.
What you can book today
CLAY Shivani offers 43 rooms — including 12 Plunge Pool Cottages with private garden and pool — across Deluxe, Premium, Plunge Pool Cottage, and Aravalli Suite categories, with breakfast, in-room dining, pool, banquet and lawn facilities, and a rooftop restaurant and bar opening October 2026. It is a boutique base in quieter lanes - not a palace markup, not a transit lodge. Explore the wider picture on our Rajasthan page, which clearly marks what is live versus what is coming.
How Udaipur fits a longer Soil to Soul journey
Some guests fly into Udaipur after a Gujarat temple-and-wildlife circuit; others start in Rajasthan and later add Dwarka-Somnath. Either way, keep expectations aligned: Rajasthan's future Soil to Soul stops will share the same service instinct, but Udaipur is the door that is open. Enquiries today should focus on Shivani dates, room type, and whether you want help sequencing a future multi-property Rajasthan trip as openings are announced.
Vision beyond one city
Founder Debasish Muduli's Vision 2030 aims for thirty hotels across India while keeping boutique, guest-first hospitality intact. Rajasthan is part of that ambition - and Udaipur is how it starts on the ground. Book the stay that exists; dream about the circuit that is being built.
