Aman I Khas :
Aman-i-Khas
(combining aman, or peace, in Sanskrit, and khás, or special,
in Urdu and Hindi) is a six-tent wilderness camp near Ranthambhore National
Park in Rajasthan, India. The camp opened in November 2003.
Set in rugged countryside,
Aman-i-Khas is a wilderness retreat located on the fringe of Ranthambhore
National Park, in Rajasthan, India. The park offers opportunities for
sighting leopards, tigers and deer.
Aman-i-Khás (combining
aman, meaning peace, in Sanskrit, and khás, meaning special
in Urdu and Hindi) is an exclusive wilderness camp set in the rugged hills
of Rajasthan on the outskirts of Ranthambhore National Park. The luxury
tents are set in a quiet rural area that borders one of the finest tiger
reserves in the world. The camp operates from October until the end of June
the best period for wildlife spotting. The 2003 season starts in
November.
Location:
New Delhi, with its broad boulevards and tree-lined avenues, is the
gateway to Amanresorts stays in Rajasthan, India. The international airport
is located approximately 35km from the city centre. The Aman-i-Khas
Experience includes one night in the capital, New Delhi followed by three
nights at the camp itself. Amanresorts provides operational assistance to
The Manor hotel, set in one-and-a-half acres of landscaped garden in the
green Friends Colony suburb. This intimate 12-suite hotel is a comfortable
overnight retreat. At The Manor, a complimentary car and driver are
available for Aman-i-Khas guests to shop and enjoy the sights of Delhi.
Guests can travel to Aman-i-Khas by train, plane and vehicle, or
by helicopter and Amanresorts recommends that from Delhi, guests travel by
train. Those staying at The Manor receive a complimentary transfer to and
from the airport as well as to the train station the following day for their
trip to Ranthambhore. Travel time by train to Sawai Madhopur station, on the
outskirts of the park, is approximately three-and-three-quarter hours and
drinks and light snacks are provided. Amanresorts has done their best to
ensure that the journey runs smoothly and guests travel in a compartment for
two to four persons chaperoned by a member of staff from Aman-i-Khas. On
arrival in Sawai Madhopur, they are taken on the 15-minute journey to the
camp itself in an open, jeep style vehicle arriving in time for dinner.
Alternatively, travel by private helicopter is possible and there
are landing pads ten minutes from the camp. Price and details on
application.
