Anantara Jewel Bagh

Join a cooking class that introduces you to the foundations of Rajasthani food, starting with local ingredients that you recognise from the region’s markets. You’ll learn how spices are used in measured ways to create depth without overpowering the dish. Each step shows you how everyday recipes come together, from preparing vegetables to working with lentils and grains that form the base of many meals.

You’ll try methods that locals rely on, guided at a steady pace so you can follow with ease. When the dishes are ready, sit down to taste what you have prepared and get a clearer idea of how families across Rajasthan cook at home.

Begin your art walk in the hotel’s lobby, where detailed patterns and traditional motifs introduce you to Jaipur’s visual language. From there, you move through corridors featuring work by regional artists who draw from daily life, local crafts and historic design. Discover how colours, textures and materials are used in different ways across each piece. The tour then takes you to curated displays that highlight the link between modern artists and older Rajasthani styles.

As you continue, you’ll notice small elements that you may have missed at first, giving you a clearer view of how Jaipur’s identity is expressed through art. The experience ends with time to reflect on pieces that resonated with you.

Set out early from the hotel towards Ranthambore National Park, where the gates open to a landscape of forests, lakes and rocky outcrops. On the safari, your guide points out signs of wildlife and shares knowledge about the park’s diverse ecosystem. You’ll spot deer grazing, langurs leaping across trees and if you are lucky, a tiger resting in the shade.

Cameras ready, and you’ll follow the trails, observing the balance between predator and prey and the vast variety of birds in the canopies. The journey offers an understanding of how this protected area sustains its wildlife, leaving you with a sense of connection to nature.
