The camp operates from October until the end of June – the best period for wildlife spotting. There are six accommodation tents.

They are constructed of canvas and supported by a steel frame with the interior walls and ceilings draped in fine cotton. There are three additional tents – making nine in all.

Styled after the grandiose architecture of the Moghul era, Amanbagh pays homage to Rajasthan’s golden age through its elegant, unique interpretation of a grand haveli, or nobleman’s palace. The use of local materials for the period details and lavish interiors incorporate floors of softly-hued pink marble of makrana, and domed cupolas and inner courtyards of pale smooth sandstone. Amanbagh is a secluded and sumptuous retreat, offering visitors the opportunity to discover and explore the fascinating remnants of Rajasthan’s extraordinary history, as well as the colourful culture and wildlife that flourishes today.
