Encounters with wildlife are punctuated by engagements with local communities and a deep immersion into the local culture.

With just 10 tents, SUJÁN JAWAI is exemplary in its dedication to conservation.

SUJÁN JAWAI recently celebrated 10 years of protecting and sharing the Jawai wilderness in Rajasthan. Founders Jaisal and Anjali Singh and their team have tirelessly worked over the last decade to successfully reintroduce native wildlife species, restore their habitats, and help biodiversity thrive.
Located between the cities of Jodhpur and Udaipur within a backdrop of billion-year-old granite rock formations, Jawai is one of western Rajasthan’s best kept secrets of untrammelled wilderness, where wild leopards co-exist with nomadic tribes and communities against a topographical tapestry of dry sand rivers, gorges, agricultural development, hamlets, and hills that are set within a backdrop of billion-year-old granite rock formations.
Since the project started in 2013, SUJÁN’s rewilding initiatives have helped to preserve and restore over 100 sq. km. of land. This once fragile ecosystem now teems with life, filled with over 30 species of mammals, 270 bird types, and more fauna. Maintaining the unique co-existence between man and animal in this region, respecting their ancient culture, and spirituality has been key to its success. Every step of the rewilding roadmap has been implemented with the support and collaboration of the nomadic tribes and communities within the Jawai region. It is a shining example of the positive impact that determined conservation efforts can have on the environment with over 20,000 individuals in local villages benefitting from the rewilding project over the past ten years.
Founded by Jaisal Singh in 2000, and since expanded with his wife Anjali, SUJÁN is widely recognised as India’s leading conservation tourism hotel brand. Their collection of three wilderness camps in three fascinating corners of Rajasthan have long been recognised as the very best on offer in India.
Prices at SUJÁN JAWAI start at ₹125,000 per night, based on two people sharing a Rock Suite. The rate is inclusive of breakfast, lunch and dinner for two. Taxes are not included. The rate also includes wilderness drives twice daily, laundry, and Wi-Fi. There is also a mandatory conservation contribution of ₹2,500, per person, per night.
