In Rajastan's Ranthambore, artist-turned-naturalist Vijay Kumawat is bringing a slice of African luxury to India's most renowned tiger sanctuary.
Six Senses Took Over India’s Most Exclusive Wellness Resort—Here’s a Look Insideaddicts won’t settle for the camp guide. Instead, they travel with a private guide who knows and specializes in their particular interests and goes where they go. But in, where tiger safaris attract less repeat visitors and sightings are more elusive, the market for private guides is substantially smaller—in fact, there is only one:Vermont Is Famous for Summer Retreats.
When sandalwood and ivory were banned by the Indian government, my father started dealing in wildlife literature and art. He worked with local artists to supply wildlife-themed paintings and often sent me to their homes to collect these paintings. There was a lot of waiting around, so I started emulating their work. I’d work on close-ups of the tiger’s eye, nose or paw and it turned into an addiction. After school, I started working on my own art and practiced until I got better at it.
While I was still in school, I started accompanying these same artists to treks in the periphery of Ranthambore National Park. I was just a young boy of 15 but my father instilled a lot of confidence in me to go and explore and not fear anything. These trips lasted four or five days at a time; we used to camp and cook our own meals. It became a practice to go to the jungle with my sketchbook and practice drawing whatever we saw around us from mammoth banyan trees to small mammals.
