Ranthambore
This one is meant to spoil you silly! Tents that seem out of an exotic movie with treasure chests and antique marvels. The beds are actually specially designed to give your body the perfect support and relax you almost instantly. Move a little further into the tent and you enter the washroom. Brilliant! That's the only way to describe them. They look more suited for a five star hotel honeymoon suite. Overall, the tents are extremely aesthetic in appearance and as a bonus are also practically functional. The tents cater to aesthetic as well as practicality

The fun doesn't end here! Step out for your first meal and get prepared for the spread you'd never have expected in these wild surroundings. Simply put, the meals are excellent and individual preferences are catered to and that too with a smile.

The resort has a reading section with a sizable collection of books on wildlife.

Now here comes the best part. As the owners are related to some of oldest names associated with Ranthambore, you'll get to hear the best stories from the past and the best advise for the present at the park.

The drive to the resort, which is located a little beyond the turn off to the park entrance, is a bit of an adventure in itself but once you're there you'll definitely feel it's worth the effort and probably find that it adds to the required atmosphere.



About Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore National Park is one of the prime examples of Project Tiger’s conservation efforts in Rajasthan. The forests around the Ranthambore Fort were once, the private hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur. The desire to preserve the game in these forests for sport, was responsible for their conservation, and subsequent rescue by Project Tiger.

The Park sprawls over an estimated area of 400 sq kms. Steep crags embrace a network of lakes and rivers, and a top one of these hills, is the impressive Ranthambore Fort, built in the 10th century. The terrain fluctuates between impregnable forests and open bushland. The forest is the typically dry deciduous type, with dhok, being the most prominent tree. The entry point to the Park, goes straight to the foot of the fort and the forest rest house, Jogi Mahal. The latter boasts of the second-largest banyan tree in India. The Padam Talab, the Raj Bagh Talab and the Malik Talab are some of the lakes in the area, that attract the tiger population. They have been spotted at the edges of these lakes, and Jogi Mahal itself. Old crumbling walls, ruined pavilions, wells, and other ancient structures stand witness to the region's glorious past. The entire forest is peppered with the battlements and spillovers of the Ranthambore Fort - tigers are said to frequent these ruins, too. As a result of stringent efforts in conservation, tigers, the prime assets of the Park, have become more and more active during the day. More than in any other park or sanctuary in India, tigers are easily spotted here in daylight. They can be seen lolling around lazily in the sun, or feverishly hunting down Sambar around the lakes.
