Opened in 2000 on a rewilded family farm at the edge of Ranthambore National Park, this tented camp was the idea of Jaisal Singh, then in his early twenties, whose parents and uncle had spent decades filming and protecting the park's tigers. Styled after 1920s safari camps, one of its 12 canvas suites is named for Machhli, a famous local tigress, and a Royal suite has its own plunge pool. It earned a MICHELIN Key in 2025.

About SUJÁN Sher Bagh
- Jaisal Singh pitched the idea to his parents in 2000, at just 20 years old, before leaving to study art history in London; it became one of India's first luxury tented safari camps.
- The Singh family has worked in Ranthambore conservation for roughly 50 years; Jaisal's uncle Valmik Thapar appeared in the BBC series The Land of the Tiger.
- One of the camp's 12 tented suites is named for Machhli, a celebrated Ranthambore tigress whose territory once bordered the property.
- Guests summon a personal valet by pressing a bell labeled 'Jeeves,' part of the camp's deliberately old-world, 1920s safari styling.
- SUJÁN Sher Bagh earned a MICHELIN Key in 2025 and is a member of Relais & Châteaux.
