Pench Tree Lodge, Pugdundee Safaris

Pench Tiger Reserve

Madhya Pradesh

Snuggled in forty acres of wilderness, lies an eco-luxe resort in Pench, in a small tribal hamlet of Sarahiri. The accommodations are embellished with unique safari style furniture and exquisite local crafts. The lodge keeps its carbon footprint to the bare minimum, by offering the discerning traveller an intimate experience across its 16 elegant tree houses and cottages. This unique lodge is set in one of the least explored areas on the northern borders of the Pench National Park. The key highlights of the lodge are its sustainably built ensuite ‘tree-homes’ high in huge Mahua trees and a set of large and very comfortable villas beside a pond, all within its 40 acres of private grasslands and resurgent deciduous forest, a picturesque and peaceful adobe to explore the park wit...h close proximity to the Karmajhiri park gate. A walk through the grasslands takes you to the central hub, with its refreshing swimming pool and a two story wooded structure that hides a comfortable lounge bar, an indoor and outdoor dining area together with its kitchen, with pretty views across the rewilded landscape. Recently added non-vehicular greener experience entails offering guests a unique opportunity of photographing wildlife from its bunker style luxury wildlife photography hide, they lovingly call – The Kipling Hide. Guests here have spotted wild boars, civet, jungle cats, jackals, monkeys and spotted deer as they sat sipping their morning tea or evening sundowners on their balcony’s.
