SUJÁN JAWAI
Jawai Bandh

SUJÁN JAWAI is the third luxury tented wildlife camp by the renowned SUJÁN brand in India, joining the ranks of other celebrated properties like SUJÁN Sher Bagh in Ranthambore and SUJÁN The Serai in Jaisalmer. Located between Jodhpur and Udaipur, SUJÁN JAWAI is nestled in the heart of the ancient Aravalli mountain range, making it the only property within this untouched wilderness, home to the elusive wild leopard.

True to SUJÁN's signature style, JAWAI seamlessly blends wildlife and culture, offering ultra-luxury accommodations while practicing low-impact eco-tourism and prioritising conservation. The camp features just 10 luxurious tents, including 8 luxury tents, 1 family tented suite and 1 royal tented suite, providing privacy, space and comfort. Each tent is designed in a contemporary Out-of-Africa style with a distinctive Rajasthani twist, featuring canvas walls adorned with black-and-white leopard photographs, steel and black leather furnishings, handcrafted traditional artefacts, private bathrooms with rain showers and accents of red inspired by the vibrant turbans of the Rabari tribe.

The Royal Tented Suite is the newest addition to SUJÁN JAWAI, offering an unrivalled luxury experience in the wilderness. With complete privacy, a heated swimming pool, a dedicated private butler, a private jeep for game drives and stunning views of the dramatic granite hills, it’s the epitome of indulgence. The camp also features a dining tent, a lounge tent, a spa offering wellness therapies and treatments, and a swimming pool. For a truly unique experience, private dining options are available, including breakfasts in the bush, picnics in the wild, and dinners under the vast, starlit sky.

SUJÁN JAWAI is surrounded by spectacular natural beauty; craggy granite formations, caves, scrublands, grasslands and winding sand riverbeds. This extraordinary setting offers exceptional wildlife encounters, with the property located just minutes away from Jawai Bandh, one of the largest water reservoirs in western Rajasthan, which attracts a diverse array of birdlife and wildlife. Accompanied by expert trackers and guides, guests can explore the wilderness in sleek, open-topped 4×4 safari jeeps, with an impressive 75% chance of spotting a wild leopard. Visitors can also meet the charismatic Rabari herdsmen, a semi-nomadic community that has lived harmoniously alongside the region’s wildlife for centuries.

Beyond the wildlife, SUJÁN JAWAI offers a range of cultural excursions, including visits to the exquisitely carved temples of Ranakpur, the majestic Kumbhalgarh Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and engaging in local experiences such as street cricket with children, visiting SUJÁN’s adopted school projects, hiking to temples at dawn, or cycling through nearby villages.

SUJÁN JAWAI is a seasonal, luxury tented camp open to guests from September 25th until April 30th each year, making it the perfect destination for a wildlife safari and cultural immersion in Rajasthan.

Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.
