Khem Villas
Khem Villas is a luxury jungle camp that offers a serene base from which to explore Ranthambore. The property, once barren grasslands, has been transformed into a lush habitat for local wildlife. The villas and tents are designed with understated elegance, featuring thatched roofs on the villas, traditional teak and rattan furniture, and private verandas that overlook the surrounding grasslands and forest.
Guests at Khem Villas can enjoy a range of activities, from jeep safaris in Ranthambore, to yoga classes and therapeutic spa treatments. The camp is committed to conservation and sustainability, serving only vegetarian food produced from its own organic garden.
