The open grasslands, picturesque lakes and ancient ruins of Ranthambore Fort are also a habitat for other wildlife including deer, jackals and flying foxes. At a short distance from the park in the surrounding wilderness is a grand oasis called Nahargarh. There’s little that compares to the luxuries of royalty and at Nahargarh, you can experience extravagances fit for a king and queen. The impressive white façade of this 16th century style fort palace leads in to blooming gardens and open courtyards decorated with idyllic fountains. The 80 spacious rooms and suites at Nahargarh reflect regal grandeur with traditional architecture and furnishings that include carved poster beds, vintage chandeliers and stained-glass accents. All the accommodations open up to a private or shared patio where you can enjoy al fresco dining. After a jungle safari, cool off together in the swimming pool where giant marble elephant statues watch over you.
