Vrruksh Eco–Stay

Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve

Maharashtra

Vrruksh Eco–Stay, managed by Virya Wildlife Tours, is nestled in the peaceful village of Bhamdeli, just off the Moharli Safari Gate of the Tadoba–Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Maharashtra. Spread over nearly three acres, the property is embraced by native vegetation with mango, jamun, lemon, bamboo, and mahogany trees, creating a tranquil forest ambience. Tadoba–Andhari Tiger Reserve is Maharashtra’s oldest and one of its largest protected wildlife landscapes, formed by merging Tadoba National Park (established in 1955) with Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary in 1993–1995 to form it into a tiger reserve under India’s Project Tiger initiative to conserve Bengal tigers and their habitat. Characterised by southern tropical dry deciduous forests, rolling meadows, lakes, and riverine corridors, TATR supports rich biodiversity. Its forests are dominated by teak, bamboo, and diverse nat...ive trees, and it is home to a thriving population of Bengal tigers, leopards, Indian wild dogs (dholes), sloth bears, gaur, and several deer species. Over 100 bird species and a variety of reptiles further enhance the reserve’s ecological splendour. Located close to the park’s core safari gates, Vrruksh Eco–Stay offers an ideal base for wildlife exploration, combining responsible hospitality with a deep connection to the Tadoba landscape.
  • Guests visiting the beautiful Tadoba landscape can enjoy a range of immersive, nature-based experiences. These include Jungle Jeep Safaris into Tadoba National Park, guided nature walks through the surrounding forest areas, and peaceful boating at Junona, organized by the Forest Department. Visitors can also explore the Butterfly Garden at Agarzari, showcasing native plant and butterfly species, and nearby botanical gardens that highlight the region’s rich flora and ecological importance. Enhancing these experiences are the lodge’s two in-house naturalists, who share insights on nature and the environment and accompany guests on bird walks within the premises, jungle safaris, and nature walks at Junona Park.


  • The Lodge offers three thoughtfully designed accommodation categories: Mud Block Cottages, constructed using sustainable soil blocks; Median Tents, which strike a perfect balance between natural charm and modern comfort; and Colossal Tents, spacious family units equipped with essential amenities and private plunge pools.

    The property features a central courtyard, two dining areas, a souvenir shop showcasing locally manufactured products, a spa facility, an outdoor swimming pool, and mini plunge pools in all tents. Built using eco-friendly materials and partially powered by solar energy, the lodge follows sustainable construction principles with a strong emphasis on blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings.

    Located close to the park’s core safari gates, the lodge offers exceptional convenience for wildlife tourists and nature enthusiasts. Managed with an eco-tourism–centric approach, it delivers a thoughtful balance between responsible hospitality and conservation-oriented travel within the Tadoba landscape.

  • Food at Vrruksh Eco–Stay is rooted in simplicity, freshness, and local flavors. The resort features a family-friendly restaurant serving Indian cuisine with vegetarian options, offering brunch, lunch, dinner, and high tea in a warm, welcoming ambience. The lodge has recently developed its own kitchen garden, where select vegetables are grown and used for in-house guest meals. Additionally, locally sourced fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and fresh non-vegetarian produce are used daily, supporting regional producers and promoting the authentic food culture of the area.
