The Vision Behind the Hand-Painted Map
Every great journey begins with a map. At Utsav Camp Sariska, we created a Naturalist Map of Sariska Tiger Reserve, not just as an artwork, but as a Sariska travel guide for our guests.
The project was envisioned by Dhanya Venkatesh, our Camp Manager and naturalist, and Luv Shekhawat, our Managing Director and trained hotelier. Together, they designed a map that highlights:
- Key wildlife trails
- Safari routes and birdwatching zones
- Eco-friendly cottages and camp pathways
This map is both practical for travellers and a celebration of the landscapes around us.
Creating the Map in Just 7 Days
2 talented artists transformed a plain wall into a masterpiece in just 7 days. With guidance from our naturalists, they painted every detail with precision. We filmed the process in a time-lapse video, allowing guests to watch the map evolve from faint pencil sketches into a vibrant work of art.
Wildlife and Nature on the Map
The most enchanting part of the artwork is how it brings Sariska’s wildlife to life. The map illustrates:
- Tigers, leopards, and striped hyenas
- Blue bulls (nilgai), wild boars, and sambar deer
- Birdlife including parakeets, peafowls, and raptors
This detailed artistry ensures the map isn’t just beautiful; it’s an accurate travel companion for exploring the reserve.
More Than a Map: A Travel Experience
Guests at Utsav Camp Sariska love pausing by the map before safaris. It has become:
- A photo-worthy spot
- A conversation starter among travellers
- A symbol of eco-friendly travel in Rajasthan
For international visitors seeking responsible tourism in India, this map reflects our ethos of blending art, conservation, and guest experience.
