Our Flagship Experience
A Sensory Journey
Legend has it that Nur Jahan, the cherished wife of Mughal king Jahangir, was strolling through the royal gardens when she noticed a fragrant layer of oil floating on the water at sunset. Enchanted by its aroma, she instructed the royal perfumers to collect it. This serendipitous discovery gave birth to “Gulab attar” (rose attar) and refined the art of natural perfume distillation, becoming a hallmark of royal perfumery.

Of Man And Leopards
What links India, Persia, Leopards, and the nomadic Rabari Tribe of camel herders?
Rabaris are believed to be the descendants of Shiva. A tribe created to look after and protect the camel he conjured for his consort Parvati in the deserts of Persia. The tribe migrated to India and settled in parts of western India, and to this day continue their duty of caring for camels and other animals.
In the arid lands of Rajasthan, they have come to share a special bond with Leopards, with whom they share the land’s resources and coexist in harmony.

Legends Of Forests, Foothills and Communities
A long time ago a ferocious tiger terrorized settlers in the foothills of the Himalayas, claiming around 400 human lives. After being injured by a local hunter, it could no longer hunt its usual prey and began attacking settlements. This reign of terror continued until a famous hunter tracked it down and ended its menace. Today, the national park is named after this renowned hunter, who later became a conservationist, working to preserve the region’s flora and fauna with the help of local communities.
