Kanha
Set
amid 6 acres of mature Sal forest, the
Royal Tiger Resort is
located in the buffer zone of the forest area in Kanha National
Park.
Inspired by the mud cottages of the local tribals, the Resort
has a total of 18 suites, built to three star standards.
The cottages are arranged in clusters of two or four to
accommodate guests travelling in larger or smaller groups.
The
airconditioned suites offer an atmosphere of comfort and calm
and are tastefully decorated. Each suite has a private adjoining
verandah overlooking the forest where one can enjoy a quiet
cup of tea and take in the tranquil jungle mornings. The slanting
tiled roof recreated using local stone is best suited for heavy
rainfall and to keep the room temperatures low.
Large windows provide ample natural light in every suite and
an unobstructed view of the forest around.
Special care
has been lavished in making the bathrooms the stuff of dreams.
Keeping in mind the erratic power situation we have installed
a full backup generating unit. This ensures 24 hour hot and
cold running water as well as operating other essential equipment.
Maintained within the property are three sacred Mahua trees
that have been or worshipped by the tribals for generations.
To retain the sanctity of these trees, we have built 'chabutras'
(platforms) around each tree and guests can spend a few meditative
moments here. 
In the main dining
room guests can enjoy delectable cuisine including fresh river
fish and village poultry. The farm fresh vegetables are grown
in the nearby villages. The kitchen is fitted with modern equipment
and a Tandoor for mouthwatering bar-be-que. A 'machan' created
on the roof is an ideal setting for guests to enjoy the spectacular
view of the surrounding forest while having a drink.
Our well stocked
library offers you a variety of reference books and reading
material. And in case of emergencies, modern medical facilities
are available at the nearby towns of Baihar & Malachkhand.
At the Royal Tiger Resort we try and make your stay as comfortable
and unforgettable as possible. While with us guests can enjoy
a variety of activities from nature walks along the nearby Banjar
river, picnics, visits to the local markets and villages.
The abundance of birdlife around the resort makes it a bird
watchers paradise too.
A
typical day at the Royal Tiger Resort starts at 5.30 a.m. with
a cup of tea and biscuits. You are then escorted by our trained
naturalist, in Resort vehicles, to the Mukki Gate, which is
one of the two entrances to the Kanha National Park. You can
enjoy the beauty of the jungle morning while driving through
the Park on a soft well laid out maze of roads, all the while
watching for Chital deer or wild Boar crossing your path. Packed
breakfast is served inside the Park.
Towards mid morning,
you are taken Tiger tracking on elephant back. The Elephants
amble through the tall elephant grass to the exact spot where
the Tigers lurk. We encourage you to enjoy this rare experience
as this is the best way to observe the Tigers in their full
glory.
Lunch
is at the Resort after which you can spend your time at leisure--a
short rest, a walk around the Resort or just a quiet afternoon
at our library.
We take you to the Park at around 3 p,m, and once again go Tiger
tracking until dusk. You return to the Resort by 6.30 p.m. and
can spend time with our naturalist who is available to answer
your questions.
The next days visit to the park may be planned with the naturalist
who will welcome your suggestions.
After dinner, a bonfire provides time for you to relax, swap
stories and if you so want, we can ask the Begga villagers to
dance for you.
The Royal Tiger Resort offers its guests a unique and comfortable
stay at Kanha. We hope the attention to detail and comfortable
stay at Kanha.
We hope the attention to detail and the atmosphere of relaxed
friendliness with be forever cherised by you. We of course are
going the love looking after you.
