Located within walking distance of Bandhavgarh National Park's main gate, near Tala village, the Jungle Lodge has been developed on the theme of an Indian village and is situated in gardens with medicinal herbs. A spacious thatched dining room which serves home cooked Indian food and Continental cuisine, is used as a focal point for activities such as campfire performances, lectures and star gazing. The lodge has set strong principles for being environmentally friendly and its development and operation is sensitively synthesized towards nature conservation. Activities include game drives with naturalists, nature walks and bird watching.
