There are just 12 charming suites here set in forest surrounds. The bungalows are beautifully appointed in contemporary style with indoor and outdoor showers, a private rooftop machan (covered jungle platform), high vaulted ceilings and overhead fans. Handmade Parsi tiles, woven hyacinth furniture and giant ebony chests complete the décor. An interactive open kitchen is a welcoming attraction for foodies and there’s a swimming pool to cool off in.
Roam the jungle in search of tigers and other elusive animals. Dominated by hills, forests and valleys, the 292-square-mile (757 sq km) Pench National Park derives its name from the meandering Pench River and is one of India’s richest, yet lesser-known parks. A typical Central Indian teak jungle, the park features hilly terrain and several jungle streams ; and supports a rich variety of wildlife. It is no wonder that the park inspired Rudyard Kipling’s enduring classic Jungle Book.
A five-minute drive from Pench National Park, the luxury safari lodge is close to key airports—Nagpur (56 miles, 90 km) and Jabalpur (119 miles, 192 km)—and is 205 miles (330 km) away from Bandhavgarh National Park.
Trained naturalists from &Beyond will be your guides and friends in the jungles as they accompany your family on nature tours and jungle safaris, in specially modified Tata open 4x4 vehicles. Their sharply honed skills at spotting wildlife and revealing the park’s secrets ensure you have an intimate and meaningful interaction with nature. Children have a particularly memorable vacation recreating the adventures of Mowgli of Jungle Book fame!
