Aman-i-Khas

This is our first ever TripAdvisor review. We use TripAdvisor extensively to plan our trips and adventures but have never posted ourselves, but we decided we wanted to share about the perfection of this property as we booked from reading reviews on this platform. If you can don’t even second guess it, just book Aman I Khas. It’s that good! It was on our bucket list to see tigers in the wild and Ranthambore did not disappoint and we saw the majestic cats multiple times. What a treat!!! What we didn’t expect which enhanced our trip even further was how magnificent Aman I Khas would be as well. Kishan who leads the camp is both a gentleman and a very good leader which is evident by the amazing staff and experiences we had. Thank you Kishan! Next our Batman, Veru. Always eager to please and exceed our expectations and we enjoyed our conversations and laughs. You made us feel very special! It is hard to mention everyone as all staff made our stay so incredible. But to add a couple of other mentions to the delightful man at the pool whose smile and eagerness to please we appreciated, and my husband had the best shave and haircut he has ever had from a true craftsman. The massages are marvelous too. The chef and his team for caring and curating delicious food and the housekeeping team for keeping our glorious tent sparkling and the heavenly baths! Our tiger experiences were highlighted by our brilliant driver KK - what a legend!, and our nature guide who cared as much as I did about me getting the perfect tiger photo and his knowledge of the park. We are luxury travelers and have stayed in many top safari lodges in Africa which we thought could not be surpassed, but Aman I Khas has now exceeded all of that! Thank you for the memories and moments.

This is a special place full of special people. The Ranthambore National Park is an incredible place, home to the majestic tiger and also the Aman-i-khas. This luxurious and tranquil tent village is like no other hotel. All that one expects from a immaculate Aman property, cleverly and stylishly incorporated into a luxury tent. It has the feel of another time. The staff here really are incredible, nothing is too much, your requests are often foreseen and done with kindness and discretion. The food here was the best we had in India - fresh, flavourful and delicious. Our Batman was another highlight, everything taken care of including a surprise birthday cake and song. The two days we were lucky enough to see the tigers we will not forget - thank you to our guides for working so hard to make this happen and to the Aman-i-khas team for an unforgettable experience.

We travel a lot around the world, and this was by far one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. What truly made it magical is the incredible service from our Batman, Bijay, who came pick us up all the way to Delhi and took such good care of us. Also, our safari drivers, with a special shoutout to Deep, who went above and beyond to find the tigers so we could see them before leaving! I am thankful for evryone that made this trip one of my favorite ones yet.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment and dissatisfaction regarding the experience I encountered during my stay at Aman I-khas. I stayed at their establishment from March 2 to March 4, 2024, and I must say it was one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. One of the reasons for my stay was to explore the wildlife park and engage in horseback riding, as advertised on your website (see attached). However, upon arrival, I encountered several issues. Firstly, when I booked a one-hour horseback riding session, there was no helmet available in my size, posing a safety concern. During the ride, our group faced several hazardous situations. Young people on motorcycles approached the horses at high speed, causing my guide to fall. Additionally, we traversed areas littered with waste and narrow paths where tractors passed by at high speeds, endangering the safety of all participants (see attached). Upon my return to the hotel, I immediately expressed my concerns to the General Manager. I explained to the GM that it was his responsibility to ensure that the proposed route was safe and that it aligned with the conditions advertised on the website. However, he refused to take responsibility for the situation, citing that the horses were subcontracted from another company. Despite my requests, no compensatory measures were offered for this disastrous experience. This experience is in stark contrast to what is promoted on their website. Furthermore, it is unacceptable that the establishment fails to take necessary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its guests. It appears that Aman lacks sensitivity in ensuring guests have an extraordinary experience and taking responsibility for any shortcomings.

We had a wonderful stay at Aman-i-Khas. It is a calm and peaceful oasis outside of Ranthambore National Park. The accommodations are large tent structures with all the conveniences. The chef is talented and the food was excellent. Virtually all the produce is grown on the site. Dinner menus changed every day, and the staff insisted if there was anything not on the menu we wanted, they would make it. Best of all were the attentive, friendly, and very helpful staff! We felt welcomed and treated as valued guests from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. A terrific experience.
