The Kipling Lodge · Chharoda, off Ranthambore Road · ★★★★★ Ultra luxury
Sixteen private villas among green fields. A fire pit of your own, and the tiger's forest eight minutes away.
Arched fan-light windows, stone-clad cottages and red clay-tile roofs around a paved courtyard café. Gold tree-of-life murals line the lounge. Outside are lotus ponds, two big lawns and bougainvillea, with green fields on three sides and the Ranthambore hills on the horizon.
The signature villa. A separate living room, a double-vanity bathroom and a private, open-to-the-sky courtyard shower behind a carved lotus stone wall.
