Khem Villas in India is a family-run bundle of precious perfection. There’s an immediate sense of being enveloped in something special. No glitz or pomp, but rather a refreshingly authentic approach to exquisite Rajasthani hospitality.
The lodge is situated within striking distance of the Ranthambore National Park wall and within its own boundary you’ll find indigenous trees and small bodies of water offering a natural habitat for wildlife. Sightings of jungle cats, desert foxes and jackals are common and for budding ornithologists it’s a mecca.
The thatched cottages are spacious, have air-conditioning and an enchanting terrace on which you’ll hear only the sounds of the jungle.
The Daskar Women’s cooperative is within walking distance of the lodge. The workshop is a fascinating place to visit to see the handicrafts and if you decide to part with some cash in the small shop, you’ll be sure of supporting a truly worthy cause.
