Kanha Earth Lodge, Pugdundee Safaris

Kanha Tiger Reserve

Madhya Pradesh

Kanha Earth Lodge is tucked into 16 acres of reforested lands, adjoining the buffer forests of Kanha. Lying close to a small quintessential village community and rich farmlands, it makes for a rich experiential stay. Away from the hurly burly of the Kanha-Kisli Gate, the lodge’s natural landscape attracts a multitude of mammals and colorful birds feasting on the old growth trees, all of which can be enjoyed in the company of top quality naturalists. Even so, it is only 30 minutes from the park gate, ensuring that it is close enough for easy access to the forest. The comfortable bungalow style and award winning buildings, nestled within this forest paradise, are inspired by Gond tribal architecture, while recycled, waste wood, terracotta tiles and local stone has been used for construction and furniture design. The lodge has a nature library-cum-presentation room and an Eco shop that... contributes 25% of its proceeds towards conservation activities
