What Our Guests Say
Real experiences from travellers who found calm, comfort, and unforgettable moments in the wild.
Adah Sharma, Actor
I truly enjoyed my stay and found myself wanting to spend as much time outdoors as possible, surrounded by the forest, listening to the birds and the soothing chorus of frogs. The safari experience was especially memorable — the trained naturalists brought the forest to life with their wonderful stories about the wildlife, particularly the tigers we encountered. I also appreciated how easy the planning was and felt reassured by the strong sense of safety throughout my stay.
Varun Aditya, Wildlife Photographer
I always enjoy staying here when I’m in Kanha. The location offers easy access to the safari gates, while the lodge itself is quiet and serene — without the feel of a large resort. The food is simple, homestyle and consistently delicious. I also value how well their drivers and naturalists understand a photographer’s needs, from reading the light to positioning the jeep for the best possible angles in the field.
Manasa Varanasi,
Former Miss India and Actor
Former Miss India and Actor: I loved my stay at the lodge — the rooms were spacious and offered all the modern comforts, while still allowing me to feel truly immersed in the nature around me. It was the small, thoughtful gestures that made the experience linger — hot water bottles warming the bed on cold nights, blankets and ponchos on safaris, and meals tailored to my dietary needs. What stayed with me most, however, was the beauty of the forest itself — unlike any park I’ve visited before — truly one of the most stunning tiger habitats in India.
