Escape to Paradise: Thakore House, Mount Abu's Luxury Villa Retreat
Escape the Ordinary & Dive Headfirst into Paradise: A Brutally Honest Take on Thakore House, Mount Abu
Okay, listen up, fellow escape artists! You're scrolling, you're dreaming, you're craving a getaway. And Mount Abu, that little slice of heaven in Rajasthan, is calling your name. But where to lay your weary, travel-worn head? Let me, your slightly cynical but ultimately devoted guide, tell you about Thakore House, a luxury villa retreat that claims to be paradise. And… well, let's just say it's complicated.
(Pace Yourself, This is Gonna Be Good)
First off, let's get the basics out of the way. This isn't just a hotel; it's an experience. From the moment you see the gates, you know you're in for something different. The architecture is stunning, a fusion of classic and contemporary that screams “wealthy vacationer.” (Yes, I felt slightly out of place at first in my travel-worn jeans. More on that later…)
Accessibility & the Great Unraveling
Alright, the big elephant in the room: accessibility. Listen, if complete wheelchair accessibility is your absolute must-have, double-check with Thakore House directly. While they mention facilities for disabled guests, I didn't see a full breakdown of what that actually entails. This is where I felt a bit let down. Accessibility in India can be a gamble, and precise details are critical. The elevator is a huge win, though.
Internet Access & Wi-Fi (And the Eternal Struggle)
We're all glued to our screens, let's be honest. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Great! Did it always work flawlessly? Nope. Look, it's Mount Abu. Expect occasional hiccups. Internet [Lan] exists, but like, who uses that? Wi-Fi in public areas was better, but you're here to escape, right? Maybe disconnect a little? My personal recommendation? Download some Netflix beforehand.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Spa Day Dreams & Poolside Realities)
Okay, let's talk Zen. Thakore House is swamped with ways to unwind. They’ve got the entire spa suite; Body scrub, Body wrap, and more. (and if that doesn't work, there's always the) Sauna, Spa, and Steamroom!!! Pure bliss, right? I had a massage, and it was genuinely phenomenal. One of the best I've ever had. The therapist’s hands were magic. And the sauna! Seriously, I could have stayed in that thing all day.
Then there's the Pool with a View! Okay, the view is amazing. The infinity pool overlooking the hills is Insta-worthy. I spent a solid afternoon lounging there, occasionally dipping into the refreshing water. My only gripe? The pool could get a little crowded at peak times. You know, those moments when you're trying to channel your inner serenity and some dude is cannonballing in from the other side.
Fitness Center & the Guilt Trip
Yes, a Fitness Center. I’m a sucker for a good gym, I even felt bad about not using it!
This is a vacation! No pressure, folks!
Eating, Drinking, and Being Merry (Or Maybe Slightly Stuffed)
Alright, let’s dive into the food. So. Many. Options. Restaurants? Yep. A la carte in restaurant? Yep. Asian cuisine in restaurant? Yep. International cuisine in restaurant? Yep. Vegetarian restaurant? Double Yep. I mean, the selection is insane. Breakfast [buffet]? Yeah, even that's got options to choose from! This is where Thakore House really shines. The food is consistently good, the variety is incredible, and the service is (mostly) impeccable.
Now, about the Poolside bar. This is where things got interesting. The cocktails were well-made and the staff was friendly, but it also felt a little… stiff, almost. I’m one of those people that likes to laugh. So I was expecting a funny experience.
Cleanliness & Safety (The Covid-19 Reality)
Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Hand sanitizer? Check. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Check. These guys are taking the pandemic seriously, and I felt genuinely safe. Rooms sanitized between stays? Yes. Room sanitization opt-out available? Excellent!
And while there's Doctor/nurse on call and a First aid kit, there is also a Staff trained in safety protocol.
Rooms & Comfort (Your Personal Oasis)
This is where Thakore House really shines. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Check. Bathtub? Double-check. Coffee/tea maker? Yep. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had everything you could possibly need. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, and the slippers and bathrobe*? Pure luxury. And, oh, the view from my window that opens. Honestly, I almost didn't want to leave my room.
Services & Conveniences (The Little Things That Matter)
Cash withdrawal? Concierge? Convenience store? Elevator? Meeting/banquet facilities? They've got it all! Want a Babysitting service? They’ve got it. Luggage storage? No problem. The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable.
For the Kids and the Young at Heart
This place is advertised as family-friendly, and I can see why. Babysitting service? Check. Kids facilities exist! I mean, my experience was kid-free, but based on the vibe, this would be an awesome place to bring children.
Getting Around (Navigating Paradise)
Airport transfer? Yes! Taxi service? Yes! Car park [free of charge]? Yes! They've got you covered!
The Big Takeaway: Is Thakore House Worth It?
Absolutely, yes. Despite my minor gripes, Thakore House is a truly special place. It's a haven of luxury and tranquility, with incredible food, stunning views, and top-notch service. It’s not perfect, but it's damn close. Just make sure you're prepared to unplug a little and embrace the slow pace of life.
My Emotional Rollercoaster:
- Initial Impression: Wow! Luxurious, serene, and… slightly intimidating.
- Spa Day: Utter bliss. My shoulders still feel relaxed.
- Poolside Cocktails: Great drinks, slightly stiff atmosphere. Time to loosen up!
- Food Frenzy: The best breakfast buffet I've ever experienced. Seriously.
- Conclusion: A truly unforgettable experience. Worth every penny. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into Thakore House in Mount Abu, India. This isn't your meticulously planned, Instagram-perfect travelogue. This is the real, messy, glorious thing. Prepare for a whirlwind of emotions, questionable decisions, and the ever-present threat of a rogue monsoon.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Expectations Crash
- Morning (or what passes for it after a flight-induced melatonin coma): Arrived at Dabok Airport, Udaipur. Now, getting to Mount Abu from Udaipur wasn't exactly a breeze. Thought I could grab a quick cab… Nope. Turns out, you're at the mercy of the local taxi mafia. Finally, after a ridiculous amount of bartering -- and a moment when I SWEAR I saw the driver roll his eyes at my haggling skills -- we squeezed into a beat-up Tata Sumo. The drive? Around 3 hours. Scenic? Kinda. Mostly dust devils, cows that possessed some sort of road-crossing telekinesis, and the lingering feeling that the driver was secretly auditioning for "Fast & Furious: Rajasthan Drift."
- Afternoon: (AKA the "Is This Heaven?" Phase - Quickly Undone): Finally, Thakore House. The pictures online? Enchanting. Reality? Well… it's got that "charming, slightly dilapidated, in a good way" vibe. The staff? Sweet, but communication barriers made ordering a simple cup of tea feel like navigating a UN summit. The villa itself is beautiful and the architecture is amazing. It immediately felt that I could actually relax here.
- Evening (The "OMG I Forgot That Thing!"): After a disastrous attempt to order a "light snack" (ended up with enough food to feed a small army – clearly, "light" means something very different here), I decided to explore the grounds. Found a little nook with a swing, perfect for staring at the mountains and pretending I'm in a romantic Bollywood film. Then, the realization hit me: I forgot my damn phone charger. Panic. Utter, unadulterated panic. How will I Instagram my perfectly imperfect adventure?! This led to an impromptu "emergency supplies" hunt with a confused but helpful staff member. Let's just say, MacGyvering a charger cable out of a USB-C and a prayer almost worked.
Day 2: The Dilwara Temples & The Case of the Missing Spicy
- Morning (Temples and Tears): Dilwara Temples. The temples are mind-blowingly intricate, like someone crocheted an entire cathedral out of marble. Seriously, the carvings are so fine, I needed magnifying glasses to see all the details! Spent hours wandering through, occasionally getting lost in a haze of incense and chanting. The religious experience of the temple made me cry a little bit. No shame.
- Afternoon (The "Where's the Damn Spice?" Saga): Lunch at a local restaurant. I asked for "spicy." Apparently, "spicy" in India means "mildly flavored." I could practically taste the disappointment. The food was lovely, but just a bit… meh. I'm the kind of person who puts hot sauce on everything. This was a culinary tragedy. Made a mental note to pack an entire suitcase of chili flakes for the rest of the trip.
- Evening (The "Sunset Point Salvation"): Sunset Point. Touristy? Absolutely. Worth it? Absolutely. Watching the sun bleed into the sky, painting the mountains in fiery hues, was pure, unadulterated magic. I'm pretty sure I could have shed a tear, but managed to keep my composure. Almost. Also, got ambushed by a monkey who tried to steal my samosa. The little bandit.
Day 3: The Lake and the Lonely Leaf
- Morning (Nakki Lake and the Problem of the Boat): Nakki Lake. So, I was determined to have a romantic boat ride. The reality? A crowded, slightly leaky boat with a guy loudly singing Bollywood songs on a megaphone. The lake itself is beautiful, but the whole experience felt a bit… tourist-trap-ish. Honestly, the pigeons were the real stars of the show, aggressively vying for any scraps of food they could get.
- Afternoon (The "Lost in Translation" Trek): I went trekking. Or at least, I tried to trek. I mean, I signed up for a "moderate" hike. Turns out, "moderate" translates to "almost vertical" in the Indian hiking scale. My legs ached, I was pretty sure I saw a snake (maybe), and I got thoroughly lost. Eventually stumbled back to Thakore House, covered in dust, feeling like a complete failure.
- Evening (The "Revenge of the Chai"): After the trek, I needed a pick-me-up. Ordered chai from room service. This time, I made sure to specify "extra strong, extra spicy." It arrived. It was perfect. The taste was as perfect as the view and the weather today in Mount Abu. I sat on my balcony, sipping my chai, watching the stars, and finally felt at peace. The entire day was so relaxing and joyful.
Day 4: The Farewell and the Forever Memory
- Morning (Sigh): Packing up, this is the end of my trip. While I hate to leave, I feel a deep and lasting connection to this place. No matter what, the beauty of this place will be engrained in my mind forever.
- Afternoon: After ordering a driver, I take one final bus ride into the city and begin thinking about the trip back home. I will never forget this place!
Final Thoughts (AKA The Rambling, Emotional Finale):
Thakore House, Mount Abu. It wasn't perfect. It was messy. It was frustrating. It was beautiful. It was everything. It's a place that will sneak into your heart and refuse to leave. I'll be back, Thakore House. You haven't seen the last of me.
And hey, if you're thinking of going? Embrace the chaos. Pack extra chargers. And for the love of all that is holy, bring your own spicy food. You'll need it.

So, what *is* this whole "thing" we're talking about, anyway? Like, the actual *thing*?
Right, right. Trying to be vague, are we? Look, it's... well, it's whatever you *want* it to be, sometimes. It could be that thing you're thinking about. Or the thing you're NOT thinking about. It’s like that weird dream where you're flying, except instead of flying, you're just... existing. And maybe the existence is the thing itself? Ugh, my brain hurts already. Honestly, I'm not sure I can define it. It's too… fluid. Kinda like trying to catch smoke. You know? Just when you think you've got a grip, POOF! Gone.
Okay, fine, *why* is it important, or is it supposed to be?
Important? Depends on your definition of "important." Is breathing important? Yeah, probably. Is this... this *thing*... that? Maybe! Look, I've spent hours pondering the significance of lint in my belly button. Ultimately useless, but still *fascinating*. This could be like that. Or maybe it’s something that’s actually... well, you know, IMPORTANT. Like, helping you not be bored out of your skull by the sheer monotony of existence. Or… helping you realize you’re not alone in feeling this way. Or... okay, I’m getting too existential. Let's just say, it's a good way to fill the dead time that normally you'd spend doomscrolling.
Can I get a practical example? Like, what's a REAL-LIFE scenario where this... thing... actually matters?
Oh, real-life scenarios? Okay, let me think. There was this *one time*… alright, picture it: Me. Grocery store. Running late, desperate for a midnight snack. I grab a box of questionable-looking cereal (hey, the price was right!). I get to the checkout, and the cashier – bless her heart, she looked like she hadn’t slept in 3 days – accidentally rings me up for, like, FIVE boxes. And in that excruciating moment, while she's furiously hitting buttons and sighing, I realized… this whole "thing" was actually helpful. Because instead of screaming, I found my inner zen, took some deep breaths, and realized the mistake would get sorted. It was just cereal. And the cashier was just… tired. It would have been better if I had money for a more expensive snack, but still! See? Practical. See! It can help with the small things.
Is this difficult to do? Like, do I need a special degree or secret handshakes or something?
Difficult? No. Absolutely not. Unless you consider existing as a difficult thing. Which, on some days, I totally do. You don't need any special skills. Just… be yourself. Even the awkward, weird, imperfect parts. Embrace the mess! That’s half the fun! Honestly, if you're *trying* too hard, you're probably doing it wrong. Just *let* it happen. Or don't. Whatever feels right! No pressure.
What are the downsides? Surely there are some, right? Nothing is perfect.
Downsides? Oh, yeah. Buckle up, buttercup. Firstly, you might overthink everything. Like, *everything*. "Did I say the wrong thing to that barista? Should I be watering my ficus more or less? Is a hot dog a sandwich?" The mental gymnastics get brutal, trust me. Second, you might start questioning *everything*. Your job, your relationships, the meaning of life (again!). This can lead to a lot of staring into the void, which, let's be honest, isn't always fun. Third, you might become *intolerable* to your friends and loved ones. "Oh, you're talking about the weather? But *what does it MEAN*?" Yeah. Prepare for eye rolls. And finally, the worst part, you might start to *like* it. And then there’s no turning back. You’re doomed to a life of existential ponderings and questionable cereal choices. You've been warned.
What does it look like in practice? Can you give me a concrete example?
Okay, concrete example time. Here we go… I’m going to double down on the grocery store, because that’s where the real magic happens, folks. Yesterday, the grocery store. I was there, looking for... I don't even remember. Probably chocolate. I spotted this elderly couple, bless their hearts, bickering over the price of organic kale. The husband was all, "It's too expensive, Martha! We can't afford to eat like... royalty!" And Martha, eyes blazing, was like, "We're going to live FOREVER, and we'll need the nutrients!" I kid you not. And me, I'm hovering nearby, pretending to pick out avocados (I hate avocados, by the way), and suddenly... it *clicked*. Their argument, their love, their absurd desire to live forever on kale… it was all… perfect. It was life. It was the *thing*. And then I got a truly genuine chuckle. It was a real moment. A small scene, a brief, but profound connection. And it gave me a whole new perspective. See? Grocery stores are life. Or at least… the *thing*.
How do I even *start*? Just… start?
Just… start. Yeah. That's pretty much it. Start noticing. Start *feeling*. Start questioning. Start with the small things. The way the sun hits your face in the morning. The sound of the rain. The way your cat looks at you like you're an idiot. Really, just pay attention to the details and ask yourself why this is worth contemplating. Start recognizing the absurd. The beauty. The ugly. And then? Keep going. Mess it up. Get it wrong. That’s the whole point. Don't be afraid to be a total goofball. Embrace the chaos. You got this. Or, you know… whatever. No pressure. Have fun. And maybe buy some good cereal. It'll come in handy.
