Ranthambhor National Park, before a princely game conserve is the
scene where the celebrated Indian Tiger is best seen. Ranthambhor
Tiger Reserve lies on the junction of Aravali and Vindhyas just 14
Kms from Sawai Madhopur in Eastern Rajasthan. It sprawls over a
varying and undulating landscape. The scenery changes dramatically
from gentle and steep slopes of the Vindhyas and sharp and conical
hills of the Aravali. A tenth century fort also blends amicably with
the background. Pure sands of Dhok (Anogeissus pendula) interspersed
with grasslands at the plateaus, meadows in valleys and luxuriant
foliage around the canals make the jungle. Three big lakes – Padam
Talab (meaning Lake), Malik Talab and Raj Bagh – are similar
turquoises studded in the vast forest that abounds with aquatic
vegetation including duckweeds, lilies and lotus.

Aman I Khas |

The
peace that passeth understanding. Set amidst the rugged
Aravallis outside Ranthambhore National Park, Aman-i-Khas is in
its brisk, second season now. You will arrive at sundown, and
the retreat emerges gently from the shadows. At the camp's
center, the evening plays itself out over drinks around a
humongous uruli, in which a cheery log fire burns. You will be
led to your tent.
The first impression is of sheer space. As tents go, this is
huge, set on a raised concrete plinth measuring 12m x 12m. The
covered area totals 108 square meters- the size of a small
apartment. The layout of Tent's is simplicity itself, though it
has taken the genius of jean-Michel Gathy to conceive it. The
entry is through a screened area

Khem Vilas |
 |
Khem
Villas is established on land that Goverdhan purchased in 1989
and converted into a wilderness area planting indigenous trees
and creating open grasslands and small water bodies, spread over
an area of 10 acres it has become a habitat in itself. It is
common to see jackals, jungle cats, hyenas, desert fox, hares
etc. within the camp grasslands. As it is close to the park one
can sometimes see pug-marks of leopards, tiger and bears that
have passed by and sometimes if one is lucky one may even get to
see them near the camp. The different habitats within the
property have created a bird watchers paradise. Guests view all
kinds of birds from the flocks of White Throats among the
grasslands to the Sparrow hawks hovering in the sky, the Black
Winged Kites in the trees and the Moore Hen near the water hole.
The peace and tranquillity offered at camp is unlike that of any
other place in Ranthambhore.
