Khem Villas

Khem Villas is a charming jungle camp established by Usha and Goverdhan Singh Rathore, along with Pritam Singh, on the outskirts of Ranthambore National Park. Goverdhan is the son of Fateh Singh Rathore one of India's leading Tiger experts. Khem Villas is a quiet, tranquil camp designed to balance simplicity with sophistication and at Tribes we feel they have got the balance just right and we highly recommend Khem as a base for your safari in Ranthambore.

The camp is spread over 35 acres and it has about 7 kms of walking trails. It is common to see jackals, jungle cats, hyenas, desert fox, hares and more within the camp. As it is close to the park you can sometimes see pugmarks of leopards, tigers and bears that have passed by and, if you are lucky, you may even see them near the camp. This is also a bird watchers paradise.

There are four types of accommodation. Each of the thatched, air-conditioned cottages has a spacious bedroom, large bathroom, an open to sky private plunge pool with an outdoor shower. They also have a private courtyard and veranda. The tents are set on wooden platforms and have en-suite bathrooms. The rooms at Khem Villas are in the main building. They are air-conditioned, spacious and have en-suite bathrooms. Upstairs rooms have large bay windows looking out over the fields. Most recently, they also now have two 'Villas' with uninterrupted views of the Aravali Hills.

Food is freshly cooked using mainly homegrown vegetables. You will be offered a mix of Indian, Western and Oriental cuisines providing rich flavours to suit every taste.
