The majestic mountains of the Aravalli range surround the wild, unadulterated luxury of this glorious, tented wildlife camp sitting between Rajasthan’s opulent cities of Jodhpur and Udaipur. Ten lavish tents – spacious and elegantly designed, with 1930s-inspired furniture and private sit-outs – are perfect for relaxing with a sundowner and feasting under the stars on the most memorable vegetarian thalis (most of the produce is taken from the kitchen garden). The terrain of billion-year-old granite peaks and caves, grasslands and winding, sandy riverbeds is at the heart of Suján Jawai. The camp is dedicated to supporting the habitat and people with rewilding programmes, education initiatives, free healthcare and food parcels. Go on safari by foot, on horseback or in an open-topped Jeep to see wild leopards (which are considered sacred here) and immerse yourself in the magic of this ancient land. The camp can also arrange for guests to meet the charismatic herdsmen of the semi-nomadic Rabari community, hike to a temple at dawn, or visit Kumbhalgarh Fort, a Unesco world heritage site. The biggest luxury, though, isn’t the delicious food or rain showers; it’s sharing quality time with the herdsmen in this remote retreat.
