THE HOTEL
Surrounded by the starkly beautiful Aravalli Hills, Aman-i-Khas provides access to the wildlife of Ranthambore National Park. Guests can also explore the region's ancient forts and colourful rural villages nearby.

The camp features 10 luxury tents, each set on a raised concrete plinth. They echo the rich Moghul travelling tents of bygone days with 'rooms' separated by cotton drapes. Constructed of canvas and supported by a steel frame, with interior walls and ceilings draped in fine cotton, each tent measures 108m². Entry is through a screened area that contains an armchair, dining table and chairs. There is also room to sit outside on the concrete deck. The centre of the tent, with its soaring six-metre canopy, features an oversized daybed ideal for lounging.

Opening out from the central area are three sections for sleeping, bathing and dressing. The bedroom area is fitted with a king-size bed flanked by twin writing desks. The bathing area includes a shower, soaking tub and separate toilet, whilst the dressing area contains cupboards with closet space and twin vanities.

The wildlife excursions really bring the camp to life. Run, twice-daily and with expert guides they offer a superb opportunity to spot indigenous game including tigers, leopards, hyenas, sloth bears, crocodiles and chital deer.
