Description
Rohetgarh’s Wilderness Camp is made up of 7 tents, located in an idyllically remote area of Rajasthan. The tents are furnished in Rajasthani style and are large and comfortable and they all have ensuite bathrooms. They are set up around a central lounge and dining area, which is beautifully relaxed by day and stunningly lit with candles by night. The camp is located on a small dune that is the highest point on an otherwise flat landscape and the views are spectacular. The highlight of the Wilderness Camp is its peacefulness, with shepherds wandering around, the sounds of local birds and wildlife and the stargazing at night is a memorable experience.
The camp is located at an ideal distance for a comfortable day’s horse ride from Rohet Garh and is highly recommend for people looking for a truly special adventure. Possible excursions further afield include visits to the historic city of Jodhpur, the gardens at Mandore, the temples at Osian, the Kumbhalgarh Fort, the Jain Temples at Ranakpur and watching polo and playing golf in Jaipur.
