Introduction :

Aman-i-Khás
(combining aman, meaning peace, in Sanskrit, and khás, meaning
special in Urdu and Hindi) 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
June the best period for wildlife spotting. The 2003 season starts in
November.
Accommodation :
The camp lies on a gentle slope against a backdrop of dry, brushwood hills.
It is set up for only nine months of the year and is packed away in the hot
summer. When set up, the camp blends in unobtrusively with the native vegetation
of tall grasses, scrub and trees.
On arrival, guests are taken by four-wheel-drive vehicle to a walled courtyard.
The entrance to the camp is via a pathway that leads through high walls, opening
onto views of the rocky Aravalli hills that undulate through Ranthambhore National
Park.
There are six 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.
The bedroom area is fitted with a king-size bed flanked by twin
writing desks. The bathing area includes a shower, soaking tub and separate
toilet whilst the dressing area contains the cupboards with hanging space and
twin vanities. Cotton screens provide complete privacy. Furniture is minimal
and unobtrusive, mimicking the travelling camps of an earlier time. Each tent
is air-conditioned, with a ceiling fan and a cooler chest for drinks.
Camp stays are all-inclusive of accommodation, meals and house beverages and
run for a minimum of three nights.
Food & Dining :
There are three additional tents making nine in all. The
Dining Tent
at Aman-i-Khás is furnished with tables and chairs. Meals are often served
in different locations throughout the grounds and dinner is most often concluded
around a roaring outdoor fire that serves as a focal point in colder winters.
The camp serves Indian cuisine and a range of western dishes. Freshness of produce
is ensured as most of the vegetables and herbs are grown in the camps
organic vegetable garden.
Facilities :
Lounge and Library : Located adjacent to
the dining tent is the Lounge Tent. This is furnished with banquettes, reading
tables and chairs. The library provides a wide collection of coffee-table books
on the national park, the tigers, the history and culture of Rajasthan, as well
as on other aspects of Indian culture and history. Also on offer is a selection
of novels, magazines and board games. A small range of local handicrafts, fabrics
and sundries are available for purchase.
Spa Treatment : The Spa Tent consists of
two treatment areas featuring twin massage tables. Spa treatments include massage,
scrubs and traditional henna art using local ingredients, herbs and spices.
Fireplace : 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. It is the ideal location for a cool drink
during the day as well as being the pre and post excursion gathering point.
