The Riverwood Forest Retreat

Pench Tiger Reserve

Madhya Pradesh

Spread over nine acres of woodland and forest gardens, the retreat is built on the banks of the beautiful monsoon river of Pachdhar that ambles through the buffers of Pench. Deer and other creatures amble into the grounds from the surrounding forest, all of which can be watched from a tall machaan at sunrise or sunset. The 21 spacious rooms are comfortable and airy, with views of the forest, private gardens or river and being away from the main hub of lodges ensures your bike rides, nature trails or village visits, especially to the potter’s village, are both fascinating and authentic.

Pench Tiger Reserve

The evidence is undeniable, the feeling palpable, as you drive down the dusty dirt tracks, that around every corner a drama will unfold, a glimpse caught, a movement spotted.
