Chitvan Jungle Lodge

Kanha Tiger Reserve

Madhya Pradesh

Spread over fourteen verdant green acres, Chitvan Jungle Lodge is a comfortable safari lodge that blends into its surrounding forest and farmlands and has been interwoven empathetically with its Gond tribal village neighbours. A small water body provides an advantageous viewpoint for observing the area’s wealth of wildlife. Each sumptuous wood-bedecked suite is designed with an earth element in mind - water, earth and sky - with the decor reflecting the theme. Cycle through villages and farmlands or take a birding walk with a resident naturalist along the Banjaar River. There are over a hundred bird species and 40 butterfly species to spot within the grounds itself. You can also plant a sapling that will be maintained by the resort, take a bullock cart ride through local villages or try your hand at some organic farming - there’s never a dull moment at Chitvan.

These lowland forests are a mixture of great sal hardwood trees, once heavily felled for railways sleepers and other mixed species of forest.
