SUJÁN Sher Bagh

SUJÁN Sher Bagh is an intimate tented camp a short drive from India’s most accessible tiger viewing destination, Ranthambore National Park.

You’ll be instantly transported back to the 1920s and the days of the British Raj, with colonial-era furniture, antiques, and dark wood details. Staff are attentive and delight with details like blankets and binoculars to enhance your game drives. Dine on mouthwatering cuisine at the restaurant, a mix of Italian and Indian, and when it’s time to kick back, lounge by the pool or book yourself in at the spa. End your day by the campfire and share safari stories with the other guests.

What we love

Attentive service–we love the extra details like blankets to keep you warm on a morning safari
This is part of Sujan, a small group of hotels in India known for their boutique design and high quality service
Observe tigers, deer, peacocks, eagles and more in nearby Ranthambore National Park
The owners, Jaisal and Anjali, work hard to support wildlife conservation and the local rural communities–you can feel good about a stay here
Atmospheric camp with plenty of character–by day, admire the textiles, antiques, and photography on display. In the evening, enjoy the soft glow from the torchlit pathways
Fantastic food served at the restaurant, from Italian to Indian cuisine. Sujan properties are known for their foodie flair and quality

Tiger sightings can never be guaranteed but numbers have increased in recent years

The tents aren’t soundproof but there’s something soothing about drifting off to the sounds of the jungle

Sher Bagh is best suited to families with older children or teens, as there are no specific facilities for younger kids. Babysitting can be arranged upon request and the restaurant can provide plainer international food to cater for picky eaters. Extra beds can be added to all tents.

The owners are keen environmentalists and have planted many trees around the property as part of a rewilding initiative. In 1988, they co-established The Ranthambhore Foundation, an NGO, and The SNS Foundation, which strives to educate communities so they can establish economic independence.

Most of the hotel staff are from surrounding rural communities and all of the experiences at the property are carefully designed to give back to the community. They also take in lesser-visited areas of the park to avoid overtourism, and a small portion of every stay goes towards conservation initiatives in the local area.

One of the initiatives they support is Village Wildlife Volunteers, an organisation that works to defend the wildlife of Ranthambore National Park against poachers and other threats.

SUJÁN Sher Bagh is located on Sherpur just outside of Ranthambore National Park./p>

What our travellers say

If Red Dot ever ceased to exist and I wanted to return to Sri Lanka I would probably go somewhere else instead. They were, in every way shape and form, impeccable. From Samanthie who created the itinerary to Wicky who drove us here, there and everywhere I cannot imagine anybody doing it better. Impeccable. I need say no more except it doesn’t get any better.

We chose this company as we wanted our money to benefit the people of Sri Lanka rather than international companies. Their work supports smaller businesses, projects and communities as well as the environment

Our 11th visit to this magical Island with always something new to discover and see. This time we made it up north to Jaffna, via Mannar Island, after beginning in the tea country and acclimatising to the heat, after leaving a very cold UK in January. We had total confidence that RedDot would organise everything to perfection, having used them many times before

We had a fantastic holiday. The itinerary and choice of hotels was spot on, and seamlessly organised.

Exceptional tour of Sri Lanka with Dami. We cannot recommend Dami at Red dot tours highly enough. As our guide over 9 days he made sure that our trip to Sri Lanka was unforgettable- always going above & beyond to impart his knowledge, show us things off the beaten track, looking after us, getting us to try many local delicacies & making us laugh .. a LOT. Cannot imagine anyone doing a better job- if we could take him with us on every holiday we would!

Dulmini did a great job listening to our wishes and arranged an itinerary that was very busy but met all our needs. Sisira, our guide, was outstanding, providing us with great local knowledge and suggesting other activities on our travels. He was a great driver on the busy Sri Lankan roads, was always punctual but above all added colour to the whole trip.

I cannot recommend Red Dot Tours more highly. Thank you so much to Samanthie for her patience with me and all her hard work at putting together the perfect itinerary for my family. I had done a lot of research before I contacted Red Dot and Samanthie created a tour that fitted in all the activities we wanted to do and secured the hotels I told her we would like to stay in (not easy to do in high season).

Wow what can I say, from start to finish we have had a wonderful holiday with Red Dot Tours. Dulmini was so helpful in putting an itinerary together for us as a family of 6 and catering to all of our needs. We have ticked off so many of Sri Lanka’s beautiful sights during our trip. Dulmini and Dhanu were a great help to us while we were out on our travels too.

We spent 13 days on a Bawa tour with wonderful driver and guide Manjula, including Kandalama Heritance, The Kandy House, The Last House, Jetwing Yala, Jetwing Lighthouse and Club Villa hotels. We are 3 friends, one of them in the wheelchair. Dulmini Ekanayake from Red Dot Tours was very helpful and very patient and found solutions to all our special demands.

Rene (March 2025) United Kingdom Read the whole review here Tripadvisor

The itinerary was absolutely perfect and the hotels wonderful, especially Thotalagala, The Warden’s House and 41 Lighthouse Street. Our driver, Indika, was a delight-charming, knowledgeable, considerate and always punctual; he showed us more of this amazing country than we could have hoped for!

Wanted to take a moment to thank RedDot Tours, and specifically Jayandi for helping book a wonderful family vacation for my family and I. First time for my family and Jayandi took care of every detail, was so courteous and professional, and genuinely cared about our experience in SL. I would also like to mention Pradeep, our kind and understanding guide/chauffeur who took such good care of us while we were out and about. I cannot recommend RedDot enough!

Bob (November 2024) United States Read the whole review here Tripadvisor

We used Red Dot for the first time for our holiday in Sri Lanka. Dulmini put together such a wonderful experience for us, creating an itinerary she drew up after many discussions about what we like and also gave us suggestions for excursions and activities. It was totally bespoke and we were able to make changes throughout this process.

Gill (March 2025) Kent, United Kingdom Read the whole review here Tripadvisor

This is an excellent tour company. They planned our Sri Lankan holiday from start to finish. The trip was initially planned for 2022 but due to Covid and other issues we didn’t manage to undertake the trip until this year. Throughout all this time we had the same travel advisor Lahiru who responded quickly to my emails and rearranged and adjusted our holiday each year!

Anne (January 2025) United Kingdom Read the whole review here Tripadvisor

As a group of 8 we have had the most fabulous tour of Sri Lanka organised by Dulmini from RedDot who totally understood my brief of "some" culture, agriculture, nature, trekking and relaxation. The hotels chosen were a wonderful mixture of homestay, tented and pure luxury (Ceylon Tea Trails). The experiences to local villages, trekking the Pekoe Trail and climbing Pidurangala were memorable and our wonderful guide, Ananda, was so informative and knowledgeable and adapted to our needs admirable (not easy with a group of 8)
