The Camp A luxury tented jungle camp situated on a private estate bordering the National Park. The inspired owner of Sher Bagh has created the perfect jungle camp, just a few minutes from the gates of Ranthambore National Park. Comfortable tents are arranged in a semi-circle around a garden and tented pavilion. Each has its own verandah with comfy chairs, internal air conditioning and the interiors are beautifully decorated with traditional 'campaign' furniture and excellent linen. The bathrooms are even better, comprising a mixture of green marble and copper and with large, sunken showers. That said, the tents are entirely in keeping with their jungle surroundings and manage to retain a stylish simplicity and the authenticity of original 'shikar' tents. The spacious, airy main lodge has a sitting area and an excellent bar / café on an upper level which affords fabulous views of the surrounding hills and countryside, itself dotted with ancient watch towers. When not out game viewing, explore Ranthambore Fort, relax by a camp fire, drink fine wine, feast on delicious food, go on camel rides or bird walks, chat to the hugely informative naturalists or find a secluded, shady area and lie back on a day bed, looking across the fields and woodland. The perfect place for dedicated nature and wildlife lovers who are looking for a genuine jungle camp experience. The camp has a nice swimming pool in which to cool off in after safari activities and walks.
