Founded by conservationist and photographer Jaisal Singh, Sher Bagh was one of the properties that redefined luxury tented camping in India, built in the manner of an old shikar expedition camp rather than a conventional hotel. Twelve tents sit under a canopy of mature trees on the edge of Ranthambhore, closing each year through the monsoon to let the land and the camp itself rest.
Twelve safari-style tents furnished with campaign furniture, four-poster beds and en-suite bathrooms, each with a private veranda looking onto the surrounding grounds.
Meals lean on Rajasthani and broader Indian cooking, served around a central campfire in the evenings, with the day’s safari sightings the natural centre of conversation over dinner.
Game drives into Ranthambhore’s various zones, in a park famous for tigers that move with unusual confidence through open, ruin-studded terrain around the old fort.
Ranthambhore’s tigers are known for hunting in daylight more openly than in denser forest reserves, and Sher Bagh’s naturalist guides are experienced at reading which territory is likely to be active on a given day.
The park’s dry lake beds and fort ruins offer some of India’s most distinctive tiger backdrops; ask your naturalist which zone has active cubs, since mother-and-cub sightings here are frequently in relatively open ground.
Sujan supports the Ranthambhore School of Art and works with the broader Ranthambhore conservation community, and Jaisal Singh’s own family has a multi-generation history of tiger conservation advocacy tied to the park.
