This charming lodge is nestled adjacent to the scenic Bandhavgarh National Park, the renowned Tiger reserve of Madhya Pradesh, and offers a unique safari experience close to the magnificent wildlife which roams the huge reserve.
Each of the 12 jungle-style private huts are decorated in the traditional style of Central India with tapered mud walls meticulously finished in lime and earth washes. Open rafters and private courtyards complete the rustic chic feel.
Sit on the shaded veranda overlooking the grassland where monkeys and brightly colored birds are frequent visitors. The dining area has a cosy fireplace to keep guests warm during chilly evenings and serves fresh produce, much of which is handpicked from the gardens by guests and staff alike.
Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the magnificent tigers in their natural habitat are escorted by expert trackers in private 4-wheel drive jeeps deep into the thick forests and grasslands.
