Proximity to Jaipur

Tehla’s location is one of its biggest advantages. Situated around 2-3 hours away from Jaipur (approximately 116 km), it is easily accessible by car.

Its proximity means you can head out Saturday morning and return refreshed by Sunday evening.

Whether it’s a quiet walk in nature or a serene moment watching the sunset, Tehla gives you the space to unwind.
