Soil to Soul's Rajasthan story does not begin with a promise of ten open hotels. It begins with honest, bookable stays: CLAY Shivani in Udaipur and, now, Soil to Soul Kumbhal Exotica in Kumbhalgarh. Guests who already know the brand from Gujarat - Dwarka, Somnath, Gir, Ektanagar - often ask where the Rajasthan circuit starts. The answer today is Udaipur, then fort country about 85 km away; 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 and Kumbhalgarh now than pretend every future stop is already taking reservations. Use Shivani for lakes and palaces, Kumbhal Exotica for the Great Wall and Aravalli evenings, 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. Soil to Soul Kumbhal Exotica adds an 18-room Aravalli resort with pool and lawns, about 3.5 km from Kumbhalgarh Fort. 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: book Shivani and Kumbhalgarh as a paired circuit now, and ask the desk to flag you when Jawai and Ranthambore open. Enquiries today should focus on dates, room type, and whether you want the Udaipur–Kumbhalgarh Circuit package with transfer arranged.
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 plus Kumbhalgarh are how it shows on the ground today. Book the stays that exist; dream about the circuit that is still being built.
"Circuits are built one honest property at a time - Udaipur opened the door; Kumbhalgarh keeps it open."
