India
Kanha Tiger Reserve
The lodge offers 12 furnished bungalows.
The main building is both rustic and refined. Built mainly from local stone, logs and kiln-fired tiles, it is furnished with local tribal artefacts and cotton furnishing fabrics.
The lodge has a dining room, a nature library with a presentation room, and an eco-shop that devotes 25% of its revenue to conservation activities.
The infinity pool sits among mahua trees, its edges blending into the forests of Kanha.
A multi-cuisine dining room serves Indian and continental fare made from fresh produce sourced from neighbouring villages, and an outdoor barbecue as well as bush dining areas are available.
The bungalows feature private bathrooms and large verandas that meet high green architecture standards, using recycled wood, stone offcuts and local stone in every aspect of construction and furniture design.
All rooms are air-conditioned and include a dressing area, a desk and chair, and a large veranda overlooking the forest.
A team of experienced naturalists leads birdwatching excursions and works together to offer a holistic wildlife experience.
Weekly visits to village markets are organised.
