Aman-i-Khás is an exclusive wilderness camp set in the rugged hills of Rajasthan on the outskirts of Ranthambhore National Park. The luxury tents are set in a quiet rural area that borders one of the finest tiger reserves in the world. The camp operates from October until the end of April – the best period for wildlife spotting. There are 10 accommodation tents. Each echoes a rich Mughal style with “rooms” separated by cotton drapes. The tents, set on a concrete plinth, measure 108sq m, and are identical in design. They are constructed of canvas and supported by a steel frame with the interior walls and ceilings draped in fine cotton.
Entry to each tent is through a screened area that contains an armchair and a dining table with chairs. Beyond this is the centre of the tent that ascends to a soaring six-metre canopy under which lies an oversized daybed, ideal for lounging. Opening from the central area are three further sections for sleeping, bathing and dressing. Furniture is minimal and unobtrusive, mimicking the travelling camps of an earlier time. The Spa Tent consists of two treatment areas featuring twin massage tables. The Fireplace is situated at the upper level of the camp; this outdoor spot with its nightly log fires in many ways serves as an informal lounge and dining area.

There's a whispering gallery, turret rooms and terraces with glorious views of the city, secret rooms yet to be discovered, hidden gardens and stables.
