The Camp
A jungle camp with superbly comfortable tents arranged in a semi-circle around a central, tented pavilion. When not out game viewing (in the mornings and late afternoons), explore Ranthambore Fort, relax by a camp fire, feast on delicious food, chat to the hugely informed naturalists or find a secluded, shady area and lie back on a day bed, looking across the fields and woodland. Sher Bagh is situated at the edge of the Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan. It's set amidst trees on a private estate, overlooking a valley and along its northern periphery. It is a ten minute drive from the main entrance of the reserve. The camp consists of 12 luxurious bedroom tents with attached verandahs and bathrooms, a dining tent, a cafe and lots of verdant spaces in which to loll!
The luxury "pavilion like" tents are custom made, raised on a solid plinth. The bedrooms have all that you need from heaters to hot water bottles. The attached bathrooms have an attractive mix of green marble and copper and a lovely open feel.
Game drives to the park are in a cantour or jeep, both of which have been re-fitted and furbished for comfortable game viewing. The camps trackers are from families who have known the jungle and its animals for generations. They have keen ears and sharp eyes and provide an excellent insight in to the parks history, flara and fauna. The National Park
