Kanjeta is a fully developed campsite situated inside the Ratanmahal Sloth Bear Sanctuary in the Dahod district of Central Gujarat. Like all the other eco campsite, this campsite is also surrounded by a rich variety of diverse flora and fauna. The main attraction is the sloth bear but the area also harbours  other species like panthers, jungle cats, civets, jackals, hyenas, honey badgers, foxes, porcupines etc. It also boasts of a variety of avifauna like treepies, white bellied drongos, racket tailed drongos, paradise fly catcher, black headed oriole, etc and a variety of reptiles.

Tips:
Being a responsible nature lover is our way of showing reverence to Mother Earth, a few tips for you to remember -

• Make sure to visit the orientation centre first before you start exploring the campsite as that would give a good picture of what you are about to experience during your stay.
• Most of these Eco Campsites use electricity which is generated by using solar energy, hence please use it responsibly.
• No smoking whatsoever (cigarette butts cause many forest fires.)
• No flash or intrusive photography (for example, don’t pluck leaves to clear a better view; reposition the camera instead.)
• Do not carry any music system or sound making device along with you and remember to keep them switched off if you are driving around.
• Picking plants or insects is prohibited in any area; do not remove anything from the parks or sanctuaries.
• Do Not indulge in any quick or sudden movements to scare off wildlife.
• Do not try going too close to the animals.
• No pets should accompany you.
• No littering. Trash is only to be disposed of in proper receptacles.
• No hunting devices or other weapons should be carried, as well as used.
