CAMP
A wildlife camp on the threshold of Ranthambore National Park, this ten-tent safari outpost is set in a sun-dappled brushwood forest. The soaring six-metre canopies are divided Mughal style around a communal outdoor fireplace.
TIGER SAFARI
Safaris venture into the untouched jungle to discover tigers in the wild. Aman-i-Khás’s expert guides are unmatched in their tracking and intuition about the movements of the tigers, leopards, hyenas, crocodiles and chital deer.
DISCOVERIES
One of India’s oldest forts, Ranthambore sits above the Old City, where camels serve as transport and the Elephant Temple pays homage to both Hindu and Jain deities. The grand ruins of Khandar Fort reveal Rajasthan’s stark beauty.
LOCATION
Sheltered by the furrowed Aravalli Hills, Aman-i-Khás is surrounded by wilderness, where only birdsong and insects interrupt the silence. Opportunities for exploration include the park and the region’s ancient forts and temples.
On the outskirts of Ranthambore National Park, the camp’s ten expansive tents overlook a ruggedly beautiful landscape that is home to abundant wildlife. Positioned to ensure utmost privacy,
the Tents offer soaring living spaces decorated with classic furnishings. The light-filled bathing area features a free-standing bathtub and shower, while the living room has twin writing desks.
Each 108-square-metre Mughal-inspired tent features a soaring bedroom, living area and bathroom separated by cotton drapes, all elegantly furnished.
A sun deck is ideal for watching passing birdlife.
The lamp-lit ambiance of the Dining Tent, with its the large communal round table and smaller intimate tables, harks back to the regal tent cities of Mughal emperors.
Meals can be tailored to suit individual tastes, and the daily changing menu reflects seasonal produce sourced from the camp’s organic garden, which the chef delights in touring with curious guests.
Whether it is local Rajasthani specialities or culinary concepts from
Kerala, the chef can tailor all dishes to suit individual tastes.
A private bush dinner can also be arranged in a secluded spot
in the wilderness, with a personal chef and local musicians.
At the heart of the camp, the fireplace can also be the setting for informal meals
or simply a place to bask in the serenity of the wilderness and the star-filled sky.
Centred around a bubbling fountain, the spa’s two treatment rooms feature holistic therapies distilled from millennia of experience in the healing arts. Multi-sensory journeys of traditional Ayurvedic wisdom are offered alongside massages, the gentle healing touch of Reiki and various scrubs, wraps and baths.
Outdoor yoga sessions revitalise, and the lounger-lined pool is modelled on the area’s ancient step wells.
Taken in the comfort of your own tent, the baths are balancing and revitalising, and can be combined with a number of other spa treatments.
Private sessions are offered in a range of styles at isolated spots within the Rajasthani wilderness to encourage peace and unity.
A traditional Ayurvedic treatment, warm oil helps boost circulation and brings relaxation and deeper therapeutic benefits to the muscles and whole body.
A Mughal-style tented camp, Aman-i-Khás is located in a rugged brushwood forest on the edge of Ranthambore National Park. Home to tigers, crocodiles, leopards, jackals, sambar deer and some 300 species of bird, the park is also the setting for
Ranthambore Fort, one of India’s oldest, and is near Khandar Fort, perhaps the country’s most dramatic. Camel safaris through villages on the parks outskirts are available, as are bird-watching treks in the lush Banas riverbed.
Experience the exotic colours, cultures and wildlife of India with Aman, travelling from the country’s vibrant capital to the rugged state of Rajasthan in this six-night journey.
Experience Rajasthan, one of India’s largest and most colourful states, with a three-night stay at Amanbagh in a Haveli Suite, and another three nights at Aman-i-Khás in an elegant Mughal-inspired tent.
Kandahar Fort, a short drive away, is perched on a hill 300 metres above the plains, where a millennium of history is on display within the stone gates and along the trek up to the ruins of temples, palaces and homes.
Catch a glimpse of the young tigers and their mothers, part of a growing population of more than 60.
Once the hunting ground of the Maharajah of Jaipur, the park has been a wildlife sanctuary since 1955 and is one of the best places to see tigers in the wild.
Stop at the Elephant Temple, where both Hindu and Jain gods are honoured. On your return, visit the rural village outside Aman-i-Khás, where life has changed little over the past centuries.
