Khem Villas

It’s an amazing property. We were in a luxury tent that is thoughtfully set out and with all the modern amenities. Although the property is about 16yrs I thought it was 2yrs as it looked so new. The attention to detail is unbelievable. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful. The dining staff were attentive. There was even an evening campfire for guests to mingle and share stories of the safaris they had. We learnt a great deal as first timers. There was also a naturalist Bhuwan who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we ended up taking a nature walk a day.

This hotel was one of our favorites during our 3 week visit to India. Although not a luxury hotel - we were happy with our choice to stay in a fully appointed tent which was comfortable, clean and beautifully met our hopes to experience the abundant nature surrounding it. Although a tent, there is a full bathroom and shower, and very comfortable bed. Even a small porch. There are regular rooms available for those who prefer it. The staff was both helpful and cheery, and provided great service, including a free and wonderful nature walk through the grounds and restored forest. It was truly wonderful to see the care and love of the land and their efforts to be ecologically responsible. The delicious vegetarian food was made from their own homegrown vegetables, however, for those who must have meat or don't care for Indian food may be disappointed as there are no real continental offerings other than at breakfast. We loved the sounds of birds and sitting on our screened in porch watching the antics of the local monkeys as we prepared for our safari at the nearby National park or during our afternoon rest. It was wedding season during our visit and everywhere we went, this location included, there were fire crackers and music playing spontaneously daily and overnight. Not the fault of this hotel, or any of the others we stayed in, just a timing issue if you're averse to noise. If you're visiting the Natianal Park we highly recommend this location. Its very special.

Everything here was phenomenal, and is recommend khem villas to anyone visiting ranthambhore. The staff were so friendly and helpful - always offering endless food and conveniences. The stars were very clear in the night sky, and so the staff brought out a telescope so we could see Jupiter and its 4 largest moons! We were also taken on a walk to see the wildlife around the property (birds, crocodiles, monkeys) by a very knowledgeable member of staff. Food was all absolutely delicious too! My brother is lactose intolerant and the chef made dairy-free food specifically for him. Accommodation was also great, and the whole camp was very peaceful and relaxing.

If you are looking for a place to stay which keeps you connected with nature, this is IT. We stayed in their Superior Tent, which was more luxurious than any 5 star hotel room. Service was amazing and all of the staff was looking to find ways to make our stay as comfortable as needed. They will cater to every dietary need and provide cheese and tomato sandwiches for your road trip or morning safari. The tent overlooks the marsh and jungle and while open to wildlife, is pretty safe. To watch a procession of a family of peacocks every morning right next to our tent at 7am sharp was a treat. We saw sambar, monitor lizards, crocodiles, plenty of birds right on the property. The monkeys are a menace, but fun to watch from the safety of your tent. The founder and family were pioneers in the development of this area and do a lot for the welfare of the local community. Only vegetarian food is served here and I was surprised at myself for really enjoying it and not missing the lack of meat or fish products. All food is grown on the estate and the freshness of the produce is unmistakable. We will look to come back to this place and would highly recommend to our friends as well.

I had an amazing time at Khem Villas. The staff and service was fantastic. Food was delicious and the evenings a the fire outside were a great way to wind down after a day of safari in Ranthambore. While they don’t organize safaris themselves, they gave me recommendations for tour companies to book with and they arranged everything around it, from blankets to water and sandwiches. Overall a very well run place. I had a medical need during my stay and they went out of their way to accommodate me, arrange a driver who walked me through the entire process of medical care in a foreign country for me.

Amazing food! Eco Lodge through and through, farm to table, water capture and conservation, solar panels to have clean energy. Bhanu the naturalist of the property was so helpful and informative. So happy in this paradise, staff was amazing and the property as well. Everything was clean and well maintained. Cant wait to come back.
