Forest friendly camps was incorporated in July 2000 as a private limited company to promote eco-friendly tourism. Sher Bagh is the first camp and is situated on the periphery of the Ranthambhore National Park.
The premise of the company was based on the need to conserve the delicate balance between man and nature and show through example, how tourism can be constructive and when necessary, controlled effectively.
We, from the urban environment, have forgotten how to relate to our natural habitat, to respect and nurture it. Sher Bagh's endeavour is to propagate, through interactions there, and the special experience, this very important balance and its comprehension.
Sher Bagh Resort is situated at the edge of the Ranthambhore National Park in Rajasthan. It's set amidst trees on a private estate, overlooking a valley and along its northern periphery. It is a ten minute drive from the main entrance of the reserve.
Accommodation at the Sher Bagh Resort
The camp consists of 12 luxurious bedroom tents with attached verandahs and bathrooms, a dining tent, a cafe and lots of verdant spaces in which to loll!
These tents are similar to the tenta originally designed for HH the Maharaja of Jodhpur at the turn of the last century. These tents were used on hunting expeditions. They also catered for an overflow of guests at the palace and even for Vice Regal and Royal visits. Tented cities used to spring up and provide extreme comfort even in the remotest of locations.
