Hotel restaurant
Lit by flickering candles at night, the Dining Tent has one large communal table and several smaller settings, but dinner is just as often served outside beside the roaring fire. Traditional Rajasthani cuisine, inspired by the royal kitchens of the Mughal emperors, and continental dishes are available, and most meals are created using veggies and herbs grown in the camp's own organic garden.
- Dress code Off-duty safari chic; channel a modern day Sarah Layton in The Jewel in the Crown. Bring a pashmina and warm clothing if you’re staying during winter.
- Top table When the weather permits, an alfresco table overlooking the campfire, jungle and lake is our top tip.
- Last orders The kitchen is open 24 hours a day to cater to your every craving.
- Room service Available around the clock with breakfasts, lunch, dinners and sweet treats delivered directly to your tent.

In the know
Our favourite rooms
With soaring six-metre-high canopies, elegant interiors, sunken marble bath tubs and custom-made teak furniture, these tents are seriously luxe. Creamy cotton curtains divide the enormous 'rooms' and a private entrance area where tea is served every morning. For added privacy, go for tent number one, which is set furthest away from the main camp – it’s where Katy Perry and Russell Brand stayed when they got hitched here.
Packing tips
With safaris, walking tours and camel rides on the menu a suitably robust pair of shoes and trousers are a must but you'll want something a little more fashion-forward come sundowner time. Remember to add your camera to the kitbag and an extra memory card to hold all those safari snaps.
Also
The handsome leather chest at the end of your bed doubles as a minibar, which remains fully stocked with your tipple of choice for the duration of your stay.
