Experience beauty of Ranthambhore at Oberoi Vanyavilas Resort

People from across the world travel to India for many reasons but the most luring one is to go on safari. It's not just the tigers that have them curious, it's leopards, elephants and bears amongst the other flaura and fauna that India has to offer.

Ranthambhore is in our backyard and yet, so many Indians either haven't had the inclination or the curiosity to check it out. Choosing foreign locales like Switzerland or Gstaad instead of the Indian jungle, seems more exotic right? Think again.

If Instagram stories or photos drive you to make your holiday choices, then there's nothing like posting pictures of tigers in the wild.

If your excuse is you're not about to rough it out, here's the deal, we aren't asking you to. Check in at The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort at the Ranthambhore National Park for the best of both worlds. The wildlife sanctuary is currently home to approximately 80 tigers and is also home to Ranthambhore Fort: a vast UNESCO World Heritage Site that overlooks the park and dates back 1,000 years.

Between the Aravali and the Vindhya mountain ranges in Southeastern Rajasthan lies the The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort which is the ultimate luxury destination for adventurers. Set in 20 acres of landscaped gardens, lakes and fountains, the resort borders on the Ranthambore National Park and Tiger Reserve – home of the magnificent Indian tiger, deer, leopard, and crocodile. It's just 180 kilometres from Jaipur and in 1957 and in 1974 it gained the protection of the Government of India's Project Tiger, a tiger conservation programme.

The resort offers luxury tented accommodation inspired by the opulent caravans of the royal families. The fine dining all-day restaurant has a daily changing menu of authentic Rajasthani specialities, pan-Indian and continental dishes. After a hard day's work, unwind at the Bar to enjoy a single malt, a cognac, a glass of fine wine or an expertly mixed cocktail accompanied by one of our leather bound classics.

Chambal river safari

Since Ranthambhore is synonymous with tigers, it is easy to forget that the nearby Chambal River is home to India's largest population of the critically-endangered Gharial. Chambal River Safari is a unique opportunity to sight this fascinating crocodilian in its natural habitat. Characterised by its long thin jaws, which have naturally evolved over time to suit its predominantly fish diet, the Gharial is one of the largest living crocodilians, with males growing up to six metres long.
