Aman - I - Khas - Ranthambhore
Splendid isolation has afforded rich pickings at Aman-i-Khas; wild and home-grown from possible ‘prize’ tiger sightings to crocodiles and antelopes, to sampling the camp’s delectable home-spun organic produce. Nature can be admired behind delicate fine screen drapes in the comfort of one’s tent, or from exciting customised trips in open-top safari vehicles.
The 10 air-conditioned tents of Aman-i-khas, with soaring six-metre canopies above draped cotton partitions are designed and decorated in a magical Moghul interpreted style. The subtle hues of creamy canvas, swathes of airy-white cotton, khaki cushions on toffee coloured ‘hide’ contrast in soft elegance against the wondrous colours of Rajasthan; pale lemon-pink dawns dissolve under endless blue skies followed by sun drenched dusty amber dusks, and villagers nearby stand out in mesmerising contrast wearing their traditional primary-coloured clothing.
At night, Aman-i-khas is embraced by a brilliant constellation.
What makes it unique ?
An encampment of just 10 special tents, Aman-i-Khás rests on the edge of Rajasthan’s Ranthambhore National Park, a sanctuary for wildlife and cultural beauty. Primal fantasies, in tented splendour, are played out around the camp’s faithfully rustic outdoor fireplace, surrounded by cushioned, stone-clad banquettes under the magnificence of nature’s twinkling ‘eye’. The beguiling calls of the wild, the breath-taking vistas of the brushwood Aravalli Hills dotted with crumbling ruins and palatial remnants, and a natural watering hole nearby, completes a compelling stage from which to experience an unforgettable adventure. All in sweeping canopied style, reminiscent of the travelling tents enjoyed during the resplendent Moghul dynasty.
