The Earth Resort By Stotrak - Ranthambore

We stayed in "Neer," and the room was amazing, with a bathtub inside that my kid loved. It would be a romantic extra for couples, and a fun place to chill with friends too. The backyard was beautiful and calming. Staff were really warm and accommodating, and the food was so yummy that I kept overeating. Great place to stay.

Visiting in May suited my tiger safari plans, even though resorts consider it off season. In the dry summer forest, tiger movement tends to be predictable around water bodies. On one safari we spotted four tigers. One walked majestically and carefree along the road while vehicles in front of him kept reversing. You can't encircle an animal and block its movement. Our canter followed behind slowly, like a barat trailing the groom. The Earth at Ranthambore is a peaceful break from city life. Wandering among the plants, watching frogs in lotus-covered water pockets, and seeing a local woman make tea and bread over an open chulha brought back memories. The food was consistently good. In the evening, the little market activities, folk entertainment, and other facilities were fun for adults and kids alike. Staff were cordial, thoughtful in conversation, and always smiling. For temples, I'd suggest Trinetra Ganesh ji for the early morning aarti, Chamatkar ji Jain temple, and Chauth mata ka Barwada, 25 kms west of Sawai Madhopur. If you have kids along, the natural (science) history museum is a must. One thing I'd like the management to add is at least a slow charging slot for EVs at the resort.

The food was absolutely amazing, and the afternoon tea spread was great. Having a pani Puri and chat station before dinner was a superb touch. We felt so welcome here thanks to the lovely, friendly staff, who were always ready to help. There's plenty to enjoy, including folk dances, bangle making, a magician, and pottery. The Earth is an eco-friendly resort very close to the national park gate at Ranthambore. We'd wholeheartedly recommend it and would definitely stay again.

The rooms have a distinctive, luxurious design, and the hotel is close to Ranthambore's main safari gate. There's plenty to do, so even without a TV, the time flew by. The staff and food were excellent, and I enjoyed every moment. Nothing to complain about.
