Kanha Jungle Camp

Kanha Tiger Reserve

Madhya Pradesh

Kanha Jungle Camp is nestled amidst 40 acres of dense Sal Forest, adjacent to the buffer zones of the acclaimed Kanha National Park. Its low-key, rustic and sublime ambience is perfect for an authentic adventure in India’s verdant hinterland. The Camp was founded in January 2020 with a mission to protect the land, wildlife, regional culture and to empower them with new resources and opportunities. The natural ecosystem remains unharmed by construction due to the use of minimum concrete and environmentally sensitive architecture. With a strong focus on conservation, sustainability and local community, it sits in an enviable position near the Mukki Gate of Kanha National Park. Known as India’s second largest national park, nestled in the dense forests of the Vindhya and Satpura ranges, in the heart of tiger country offering an abundance of flora and fauna.
