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.
