Khem Villas : A Luxury Stay In Ranthambhore

The Untourists The Untourists - Discovering the beautiful world we live in.

For us, forests are not just about sighting tigers. They are also about the beautiful trees, the grasses, the birds, the reptiles, other mammals… and of course being in touch with the forest itself. Not many places allow this, while giving you the comfort and good food you need.

Khem Villas in Ranthambhore National Park is one of a kind. With enough forested walks inside the property, you don’t miss going out to the forests. Sit by the water bodies and watch the resident wild crocodiles bask in the sun. Or go for your morning walks and find munias and parakeets feeding on grass seeds, and partridges calling at sunset. Sometimes, we have run into a family of Wild Boars or a Nilgai or even more…(make sure you always walk with the resident naturalist). Hang out at the bonfire by the pond in the evening, sipping your drink and watching the stars through the spotting scope. The large dining area (which serves excellent vegetarian food) is the perfect place to meet travellers and share stories of the jungles. We love jungles and absolutely love the Khem Villas.

Do take some time out and visit the old city of Sawai Madhopur as well. With plenty of history, you will find fascinating old architecture and of course, some of the best kachoris and jalebis.

The large dining area at Khem Villas serves excellent vegetarian only food and conversations.

The drive from its gate to the parking area is this wonderful bamboo lined tunnel.

One of the many walks inside Khem Villas. Remember, do not walk alone, always take a resident Naturalist with you.

Sit on the swing by the pool and lazily watch the wild crocodiles bask in the sun…

Or take yet another walk next to the grasses…

There ware these wild grasses everywhere. If you are observant you can watch many birds and animals here itself.

The fabulous seating by the pond, where you sit by a fire at night, nurse your drink and watch the stars…

There are many places in Khem Villas where you can lazily bask in the sun or in the cool shade…

And then yet another walk inside Khem Villas

Or just sit and have a drink, or chai…

The tasteful made tents are separated from each other by enough wilderness

From the terrace of the village school, a panoramic shot of Sawai Madhopur.

The old town of Sawai Madhopur has its own interesting relics, temples and havelis.
