Benefiting from incredibly unique scenery and exquisite décor, nowhere does tented accommodation quite like the Indian subcontinent. From sleeping under the stars in a four poster bed, to hunkering down in a luxury tent, we’ve shortlisted our favourite tented camps from across the region for a night under canvas with a difference.
