The Timeless Beauty of India

India’s landscapes are as diverse as its stories. Golden deserts meet forested hills, ancient ruins rise from quiet plains, and rural villages preserve rhythms unchanged for centuries.

In Rajasthan, life unfolds at a gentler pace — temple bells echo at sunrise, local artisans continue age-old crafts, and evenings glow beneath starlit skies. Travelling through India is a journey through living history, rich in colour, texture and meaning.

A Haven for Wildlife & Nature

India is one of the world’s great wildlife destinations, home to extraordinary biodiversity. Ranthambore National Park, once a royal hunting ground, is now one of the best places to encounter the Bengal tiger in its natural habitat.

Beyond tigers, the region shelters leopards, sloth bears, crocodiles, sambar deer and an abundance of birdlife. Guided safaris reveal a side of India that is raw, powerful and deeply moving.

Cultural Richness & Spirituality

Spirituality in India is woven into daily life. Sacred rituals, temple ceremonies and seasonal festivals reflect a civilisation shaped by belief, devotion and continuity.

From village shrines to ancient stepwells and forgotten palaces, Rajasthan’s landscape tells stories of dynasties, faith and resilience. Guests are invited not just to observe, but to connect — through private temple visits, curated cultural encounters and moments of quiet reflection.

The Power of India’s Spiritual Heritage

India’s spiritual traditions shape its worldview, architecture and daily rituals. From Hindu philosophy to ancient yogic practices, spirituality here is experiential rather than theoretical.

Travellers often leave with a deeper sense of stillness — drawn from moments of silence, connection to nature, and the grounding presence of centuries-old traditions.

Discover India for Yourself

India rewards those who travel slowly and intentionally. With Aman as your guide, the journey becomes one of balance — between adventure and rest, discovery and reflection, wilderness and refinement.

This is India at its most intimate, authentic and unforgettable.

Luxury Stays in India

India’s most exceptional luxury experiences are defined not by excess, but by space, silence and a deep sense of place. Aman’s properties embody this philosophy perfectly.

Amanbagh — A Sanctuary of Stillness in Rajasthan

Set within a walled oasis near Alwar, Amanbagh rises from the desert like a forgotten palace. Soft pink sandstone architecture, palm-lined gardens and tranquil courtyards create an atmosphere of profound calm.

Once a princely region, the surrounding countryside reveals ancient ruins, temples and rural villages untouched by time. Guests enjoy spacious pool pavilions, exceptional wellness offerings and immersive cultural experiences — all delivered with Aman’s signature discretion.

Aman-i-Khás — Wilderness Luxury in Ranthambore

On the edge of Ranthambore National Park, Aman-i-Khás offers a rare blend of raw wilderness and refined comfort. Spacious Mughal-inspired tents are arranged around open fire pits and communal spaces, evoking the romance of royal safari camps.

Days unfold with guided game drives in search of tigers, followed by leisurely lunches, afternoon rest, and starlit dinners beneath the open sky. Aman-i-Khás delivers one of India’s most intimate and authentic safari experiences.

Getting to India from Australia

India is easily reached from Australia via major international gateways including Singapore, Bangkok and Dubai. From Delhi, private transfers or short domestic flights connect seamlessly to Rajasthan and Ranthambore.

All logistics — flights, transfers, guides and accommodations — are carefully arranged to ensure a smooth and effortless journey.
