Khem Villas - Sawai Madhopur

4-star eco-friendly jungle camp with organic farm-to-table dining and wildlife safaris

Accommodations

Khem Villas offers luxury tented suites, lake-view cottages, and family suites set on a rewilded 25-acre property. The Superior Tent provides a king-size bed, rainforest shower, and private veranda overlooking a marsh and jungle. The Lake View Cottage features an outdoor bath and private plunge pool with views of resident crocodiles.

Dining

All meals are prepared with produce from the hotel's organic garden, with Chef Gita creating a vegetarian-only menu that changes daily. The full-board plan includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and pre-dinner campfire snacks. Water on property is purified by an on-site filtration system, allowing safe consumption of salads and ice in drinks.

Eco-Initiatives & Community

Founded by the family of Fateh Singh Rathore, the resort has rewilded the surrounding land over 25 years and runs solar-panel energy and rainwater-harvesting projects. On-site, the Khem Villas textile shop partners with local women's craft cooperatives, offering custom-made clothes in 3-4 hours. Profits from the shop support NGO-driven community development in nearby villages.

Activities

Resident naturalists Dinesh and Bhanu lead guided nature walks through the property, pointing out crocodiles, sambar deer, and bird species. The hotel coordinates personalized jungle safaris into Ranthambore National Park, including sunrise trips with pre-loaded hot water bottles and blankets. Additional excursions include Chambal River Safari and private tours of Ranthambhore Fort.

Wellness & Spa

The on-site spa offers Ayurvedic massages and relaxation treatments in a spa lounge with outdoor views. Guests can also unwind at the sun terrace or by the outdoor fireplace. Pre-safari spa packages include a warm bath and herbal tea to promote relaxation before early-morning drives.
