Introduction

CONCEPT OF THE SHER BAGH JUNGLE CAMP

Forest friendly camps were incorporated in July 2000 as a private limited company to promote eco friendly tourism. Sher Bagh is the first camp and is situated on the periphery of the Ranthambhore National Park.

The premise of the company was based on the need to conserve the delicate balance between man and nature and show, through example, how tourism can be constructive and when necessary, controlled effectively.

We, from the urban environment, have forgotten how to relate to our natural habitat, to respect and nurture it. Sher Bagh's endeavour is to propagate, through interactions there, and the special experience, this very important balance and its comprehension.
