Rajasthan Royal Wilderness Retreats

Spend the day exploring Jaipur with your private guide. Visit Amber Fort, dramatically positioned in the Aravalli hills, then pause at the hilltop Jal Mahal viewpoint before continuing to the City Palace and the astronomical instruments of Jantar Mantar. In the old city, explore specialist jewellery, textile or craft boutiques according to your interests. Return to your hotel for an unhurried evening, with time for a spa treatment or a memorable Rajasthani dining experience.

Leave Jaipur after breakfast for the peaceful countryside around Amanbagh. The private drive reveals a more pastoral side of Rajasthan, with dry hills, village life and fields replacing the energy of the capital. Depending on your preferred pace, stop for a locally relevant cultural visit or continue directly to the resort. Settle into Amanbagh’s elegant Mughal-inspired surroundings, then spend the afternoon beside the pool, walking through the gardens or simply enjoying the quiet of the landscape.

Enjoy a full day based at Amanbagh. The surrounding region offers opportunities for a guided excursion into the Sariska landscape, where dry deciduous forest, rocky ridges and seasonal water sources support varied wildlife and birdlife. Safari arrangements depend on park regulations and local permit conditions. Alternatively, choose a slower day at the retreat with a village walk, gentle countryside exploration, yoga or time to appreciate the property’s gardens and restorative atmosphere.

Travel onwards by private vehicle towards Ranthambore and Aman-i-Khás, passing through rural Rajasthan and landscapes shaped by the Aravalli ranges. On arrival, check in to the camp and enjoy its distinctive setting on the edge of the national park. Depending on the season, arrival time and safari arrangements, you may have the opportunity for an afternoon wildlife drive. Otherwise, relax at camp and listen to the forest settle around you as evening falls.

Spend the day immersed in the Ranthambore landscape, with a guided game drive planned around the park’s operating schedule and available permits. The reserve is known for its dry forests, lakes, dramatic escarpments and historic ruins, as well as its population of Bengal tigers. Wildlife sightings are never predictable, but the experience is rewarding even without a major encounter. Between excursions, return to Aman-i-Khás for time to rest, dine thoughtfully and enjoy the camp’s calm setting.

After breakfast, conclude your private Rajasthan journey with a transfer arranged to suit your onward plans. Guests continuing by air may return by road towards Jaipur for a later departure, while those extending their travels can connect with another destination in Rajasthan or northern India. Your chauffeur will assist with the departure logistics, bringing together a seamless itinerary that has moved from Jaipur’s royal heritage to the quieter, wilder side of the state.
