Mango and pomegranate trees crowd around this safari-style canvas tent, raised on a pale stone plinth at the edge of an orchard outside Hoskote. Mustard-glazed urns line the forecourt, a fire bowl waits nearby, and the only traffic is the birds flitting between the fruiting branches.

Pull back the flap and the interior is bright and breezy: a soaring white canopy, a white panelled bed scattered with embroidered cushions, jute rugs underfoot and bamboo lanterns glowing overhead. A striped daybed with a green throw makes a second spot to curl up, and a two-seater sofa and an armchair face a wide window that frames the orchard like a painting.
