Northern India
Fateh’s Retreat
The former home of India’s renowned tiger conservationist, Fateh Singh Rathore, Fateh’s Retreat offers a tranquil escape with breathtaking views of the Aravalli Hills.
Mornings at Fateh’s Retreat typically begin with an early morning game drive into Ranthambore National Park, where the thrill of the jungle takes centre stage. Guests set off into the wilderness, accompanied by expert guides, in search of Ranthambore’s famous cast of tigers. There is a special beauty to the reserve, dotted with ancient ruins and high, rocky escarpments.
After returning from the safari, the retreat provides the perfect space to recharge. A refreshing dip in the pool or quiet moments on private balconies allow guests to unwind. The atmosphere shifts in the evening, inviting relaxation in the gardens or storytelling around the outdoor fireplace beneath a sky full of stars.

Despite flight delays we were warmly welcomed and had efficient transitions in India. In the UK, you couldn’t have been more helpful – “above and beyond” at all points of contact. Thankyou!
[Our experience of the Snow leopard group tour] Is hard to put into words! No genuine expectation of seeing snow leopards – just hopeful, but to see two shortly after arriving at Uley was outstanding. They were so beautiful. Also saw wolves, Tibetan fox, eagles, ibex and lots of urials.
