The dense tropical forest, grassy meadows, open bushland and rocky terrain interspersed with lakes and streams make its landscapes extremely beautiful.

Know your Host

You will be hosted by a warm and hospitable couple Rachna and Ratnesh Verma. They both are nature and wildlife lovers and have experience in tourism. They have been visiting Ranthambore since long and loved the place so much that they decided to settle here. Ratnesh realized that there are many hotels and guest houses in the area but no authentic homestay where you can get the feel of the place. So he created this beautiful home with an ethnic feel, for nature and wildlife lovers. His love for the local culture can be seen in the way he is managing it. Starting from the interiors to the food, everything has an ethnic touch. He has an experience of more than two decades in the tourism industry and can speak Hindi, English, German and Italian fluently and also can communicate in French and Spanish in a moderate way.
