Destination

Sawai Madhopur

The great outdoors…

More than 300 species of birds and a close brush with crocodiles and tigers — if you’re looking for the ideal safari holiday, look no further than Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan.  As you enter Sawai Madhopur, the gateway to the park, you are greeted by a distinctive destination. Offering a unique potpourri of heritage, flora and fauna, this renowned wildlife sanctuary is one of the few wildlife hotspots where you stand the chance of seeing a tiger hunting right under your nose!

And at the centre, stand the ruins of the majestic, tenth-century Ranthambore Fort, like a central showpiece. To enjoy the great outdoors even more, reside in one of the eco-chic cottages or luxury tents at Khem Villas for the complete experience.
