Suján Jawai Leopard Camp is a complex of luxury tents, set between Udaipur and Jodhpur, close to Kumbalgarh and Ranakpur. Set on eight hectares of land at the foot of the Aravalli hills, owned by Jaisal and Anjali Singh, it is a wild landscape of granite rocks and sandy riverbeds; home to a thriving population of leopards.

The spacious creamy-white tents, designed by the owners and hand-stitched in Jodhpur, come inclusive of private verandas with views of the dramatic plains. Days here are best spent soaking in the surrounds, often visited by antelope, Langur monkeys and wild boar. Breakfast is in the bush while on a game drive, lunch is buffet style in the camp and evening cocktails and dinner is by a bonfire under the stars.
