Tiger Resort

Located within walking distance of Bandhavgarh National Park's main gate, the jungle lodge has been developed on the theme of an Indian village, with thirteen thatched twin-bedded cottages around an inner courtyard. There are two separate villas with further accommodations of eight rooms.

A spacious thatched dining room which serves home cooked Indian food and Continental cuisines, becomes the centre point of activities like campfire performances, lectures and star gazing.

The lodge has set strong principles of being environmentally friendly and every aspect of its development and operation is sensitively synthesized towards nature conservation. Since it is located close to Bandhavgarh National Park and to the entrance gate, (near Tala village) guests can listen to the sounds of the Jungle right in their backyards! In the morning you wake up to a symphony of bird songs, while at night you can often hear the alarm calls of deer, which alerts you to a tiger on the prowl !

A lot of fruit trees and bushes have been deliberately planted to attract a variety of butterflies, birds and insects. Due to such close proximity to the Bandhavgarh National Park, Spotted deer and the Langur Monkey can often be seen in and around the Lodge.

13 spacious cosy and comfortable independent Cottages, and 8 rooms in two separate villas, to make a total of 21 rooms, all in a typical Indian village theme, some around an inner courtyard. They have modern facilities with single, twin or double bedded rooms, with attached bathroom, (all amenities) shower, running hot and cold water, comfortably furnished, even a hot water bottle at night to keep you warm !

Naturalist , wildlifer and conservationist Tarun and Dimple Bhati have run Kanha Jungle lodge for over twenty years, as part of Tiger Resorts Group. Its eleven acres of thick sal forest have engulfed the open sided low structure complex and rooms under its arching canopies, ensuring a natural forest environment, to spend and enjoy your wildlife holiday. You know you are with nature when every evening you can watch our punctual flying squirrels glide amongst the sal trees. The lodge's experienced naturalists or our young teenager Jai (son of Tarun and Dimple ) take our guests on walks down to the river, birding ,pointing out the variety of species found and regaling them with anecdotes, interesting tid-bits ! And in the right season even seeing a large number of colourful , painted butterflies.

Our Jungle Lodge is in the midst of a rich Sal forest and thus designed as a Jungle lodge, well camouflaged in the forest . It is tastefully developed with low impact on the land and the environment , with 18 well appointed rooms and 2 deluxe cottages, to give a physical and emotional jungle experience. The jungle lodge is planned to provide a friendly, informal relaxed environment with lots to observe, understand and learn, to make good friends and support conservation. Since it is located close to Kanha National Park and is the closest to the Mukki entrance gate, it has been sensitive to the environment. .Guests can listen to Jungle sounds during day or night, which makes it an exciting and chilling experience for some, listening to the alarm calls of the deer or an occasional roar of the Tiger. Its Sal forest and open meadows have become a favourite place for Deer (chital) to stay fearlessly in the compound. It is set on strong principles of being environmentally friendly and every aspect of its development and operation is sensitively synthesized towards nature conservation. We have not cut any trees to construct the Lodge. We hope you will enjoy your stay and make it a learning experience!!
