The Dak Bungalow At Derabassi Is Great For Weekend Getaways, Special Occasions & Fine Dining

Life in the big Indian cities has become so rushed and chaotic and the air so polluted that many of us increasingly dream of finding the peace of the Indian countryside, a peace that seems to elude us completely in the big cities where so many of us live. At the Dak Bungalow At Dera Bassi one is instantly reminded of an era when the pace of life was slow and leisurely, the air was clean and the comforts though only modestly luxurious were none the less alluring for the peace and tranquility that they promised.

The Dak Bungalow at Dera Bassi in its structural design, its cuisine, and its ambience, recreates the flavor of an era now long gone. From lush green fields burgeoning with produce to forests teeming with wildlife - you can find all the pleasurable signs of a bygone era. At the Dak Bungalow At Dera Bassi you will find the serenity and tranquility of country life as it existed in the India of an older time.

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE A GETAWAY!

If you’re looking for that well-earned getaway where you have the time and leisure to contemplate the mysteries of the universe, where you can gaze upon the stars that hang so low and shine so brightly that they seem to festoon the trees, where the gentle breeze is like a balm to your soul, then The Dak Bungalow At Dera Bassi is surely the place for you.

It’s a different world from the one you just left behind that world where the computer is king and your life is governed by the clock which seems to tick faster and faster with every passing day. So come and rest your mind at the Dak Bungalow where peace, tranquility, and serenity wait to seduce you.

WHAT ELSE DOES THE DAK BUNGALOW PROMISE?

Well, easy access is the first promise. Located just minutes away from Chandigarh, only an hour from Ludhiana, easily accessible from Patiala, and only three and a half hours away from India’s capital city Delhi it's an easily reachable destination.
Once you’re here you can look forward to an ambience that encourages you to simply relax, sit in the sun in the daytime on the patio and the numerous private sit-outs, sip your favourite libation, or enjoy a midday cup of coffee freshly brewed and aromatic. 

For the more hedonistic, a gin and tonic with just the right touch of bitters is just the ticket to remind you of the days of the Raj when the “koi hai’s” were only a shout away. For the more active there’s always a game of Darts on their professional Dartboard or a game of badminton on their lawns and for the more intellectually inclined there’s always a professional scrabble board and a library of wonderful old books.

DAK BUNGALOW CUISINE

Rejoice in their cuisine where they tailor their menus, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, Indian, and Anglo Indian from a wide selection of dishes guaranteed to satisfy the fussiest gourmand. Choose from among a wide variety of dishes such as Shepherd’s Pie, Pan Grilled or Fried Filet of Sole with delectable sauces and sides, Smoked Murghi Curry cooked in the style of the royal game recipes of the maharajas, khatta meetha baingan Hyderabadi and of course those evergreen Punjabi favourites Saag and Makki ki Roti, Dal Makhani and Butter Chicken and last but not the least a choice of the tastiest and healthiest salads you’ve ever tasted.

Their desserts are to die for too especially those colonial favourites Caramel Custard and Bread And Butter Pudding and when in season the best Gajar Halwa ever.

PRIVATE BARBECUE EVENINGS SITTING BY YOUR OWN PRIVATE FIRESIDE

In the winter evenings relax with your friends in your snug and cozy private verandah with old-world charcoal fired “sigri”, order a private barbecue and enjoy the luxury of being pampered by their well-trained staff ... enjoy your favourite libation accompanied by a selection of delectable snacks like Shami kababs, cheese toast and a selection of delectable dips and nuts.
