Hotel Story

Poonam and Aditya (Dicky) Singh left Delhi in 1998 to follow their instinct that living alongside a forest was better than living away from it. Aditya became one of India’s foremost wildlife conservationists and photographers, spending three decades documenting Ranthambore’s tigers and shaping policy on habitat protection and wildlife corridors. He passed in 2023, but his vision lives on through Poonam, through the Bhadlav rewilding project, and through the Aditya Singh Foundation. Poonam runs the Bagh today with the same quiet conviction: that how you build, what you grow, and who you employ are conservation decisions, not hospitality ones.

Ranthambore Bagh is an intimate six-room boutique homestay with minimal environmental footprint. Built using local stone, lime, and traditional techniques by regional artisans, only twelve percent of land is developed, with earthen pathways functioning as rainwater harvesting swales. The evolving edible garden buzzes with pollinators, supporting biodiversity while supplying fresh produce for meals rooted in family recipes.

Solar power, comprehensive greywater recycling, zero single-use plastics, and complete local employment demonstrate authentic environmental stewardship. The homestay features a pottery studio attracting writers and artists, while profits continuously fund the Bagh Forest restoration project. Pet-friendly and recommendation-only, this intimate sanctuary welcomes travellers seeking meaningful connections with conservation, creativity, and community through responsible wildlife tourism that gives back more than it takes.
