Granite leopard outpost
Custom canvas pavilions sit against granite hills, where wild leopards roam freely and indigenous Rabari herdsmen guide dusty wilderness tracks.
“The tented camp itself offers the perfect balance of simultaneously immersing you in the wild while coddling you with care.”

What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Just ten tented suites are set against the backdrop of the Aravalli Mountain range and come luxuriously kitted out with all modern comforts...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Smooth granite kopjes and thorn scrub wrap around the Jawai reservoir, where cave shrines and roaming leopards dot the wilderness.
The rooms
Canvas suites pair industrial steel and dark leather with scarlet accents, opening onto private timber verandas facing the bush.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated swimming pool looks out toward ancient granite kopjes, with drinks served on the deck at sunset.
The spa
Holistic therapies and massages use indigenous oils inside a dedicated open-air canvas tent.
At the table
Farm-to-table dishes spotlight vegetables from the camp garden and local dairy, served on candlelit timber decks.
The tents here are minimalist in design, featuring monochromatic colour schemes complemented by bursts of scarlet that reflect the turbans of the region’s Rabari herdsmen.
How it began
Founded in 2013 by Anjali and Jaisal Singh without concrete foundations, the camp protects wild leopards alongside local Rabari pastoralists.
