Khem Villas is established on land that Goverdhan purchased in 1989 and converted into a wilderness area planting indigenous trees and creating open grasslands and small water bodies, spread over an area of 10 acres it has become a habitat in itself. It is common to see jackals, jungle cats, hyenas, desert fox, hares etc. within the camp grasslands. As it is close to the park one can sometimes see pug-marks of leopards, tiger and bears that have passed by and sometimes if one is lucky one may even get to see them near the camp. The different habitats within the property have created a bird watchers paradise. Guests view all kinds of birds from the flocks of White Throats among the grasslands to the Sparrow hawks hovering in the sky, the Black Winged Kites in the trees and the Moore Hen near the water hole. The peace and tranquillity offered at camp is unlike that of any other place in Ranthambhore.
Accommodation is divided into three categories and designed keeping in mind that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication; great pains have been taken to use locally sourced materials and skills. The camp is designed to provide an authentic experience that is unfussy, functional yet special.
The luxury resort is set over 20 acres of land, which has over 1500 trees, which includes orchards of mango, lemon, guava and Indian gooseberry. There are pathways throughout the property with bridges crossing an 850ft. long water-body with lotuses and colorful fish. Vanyavilas is the first luxury jungle resort in India and it consists of 25 luxury air-conditioned tents with their own private walled garden located discreetly so as to ensure maximum privacy. From virtually all tents, views of the nearby hills are afforded. The observation tower at the far end of the property provides a marvelous view of the entire area.
