Aman I Khas
Aman-i-Khas
(combining aman, or “peace”, in Sanskrit, and khás, or “special”,
in Urdu and Hindi) is a six-tent wilderness camp near Ranthambhore National
Park in Rajasthan, India. The camp opened in November 2003.
Set in rugged countryside, Aman-i-Khas is a wilderness retreat located on the
fringe of Ranthambhore National Park, in Rajasthan, India. The park offers opportunities
for sighting leopards, tigers and deer.
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.
Location:
New Delhi, with its broad boulevards and tree-lined avenues, is the gateway
to Amanresorts stays in Rajasthan, India. The international airport is located
approximately 35km from the city centre. The Aman-i-Khas Experience includes
one night in the capital, New Delhi followed by three nights at the camp itself.
Amanresorts provides operational assistance to The Manor hotel, set in one-and-a-half
acres of landscaped garden in the green Friends Colony suburb. This intimate
12-suite hotel is a comfortable overnight retreat. At The Manor, a complimentary
car and driver are available for Aman-i-Khas guests to shop and enjoy the sights
of Delhi.
Guests can travel to Aman-i-Khas by train, plane and vehicle, or by helicopter
and Amanresorts recommends that from Delhi, guests travel by train. Those staying
at The Manor receive a complimentary transfer to and from the airport as well
as to the train station the following day for their trip to Ranthambhore. Travel
time by train to Sawai Madhopur station, on the outskirts of the park, is approximately
three-and-three-quarter hours and drinks and light snacks are provided. Amanresorts
has done their best to ensure that the journey runs smoothly and guests travel
in a compartment for two to four persons chaperoned by a member of staff from
Aman-i-Khas. On arrival in Sawai Madhopur, they are taken on the 15-minute journey
to the camp itself in an open, jeep style vehicle arriving in time for dinner.
Alternatively, travel by private helicopter is possible and there are landing
pads ten minutes from the camp. Price and details on application.
