MADHYA PRADESH WILDLIFE CAMPS

Tree House Hideaway - On and among the trees in our five tree houses there is a route to hide away of fantasies. In the 21 acres area of forest rests an option of experiencing the snug life inside the rooms or venture out in the tiger-infested wild. The property has its resident species of birds, reptiles and animals residing around the forest trees and over time the area has now become a small secure park for them. You can spend your time unseen and undisturbed in the intimacy of your room or choose to go looking for wild animals & birds in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.

In the wild world of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, the outlook of tree houses is grunge and sturdy looking but the door opens to acceptable elegance complementing the outside world. The designs are a fetching fusion of contemporary design and traditional jungle living with earth tones and eco essentials. All Tree houses have been made by local staff using regularized wood. Local craft knowledge and traditional expertise has been used at all quarters to ensure that the Tree Houses blend harmoniously with nature.

In the morning you wake up to a symphony of bird songs, while at night you can often hear the alarm calls of deer, which alerts you to a tiger on the prowl !

A lot of fruit trees and bushes have been deliberately planted to attract a variety of butterflies, birds and insects. Due to such close proximity to the Bandhavgarh National Park, Spotted deer and the Langur Monkey can often be seen in and around the Lodge.

Jeep Safaris Kanha for Kanha's Children Paghdandi Bicycling Trips Optional Day Trip to Phen Sanctuary Tannaur Treat The Meadow Spa at Singinawa Village Market and Cattle Fair Meet the Tribal Potters of Baihar

As the flaming sun rises over the expanse of wilderness that is Kanha, customized 4x4 vehicles stealthily make their way through the park and help you catch a glimpse of the untouched life in the jungle. Observe a skulk of fox preen themselves or the big jungle cats relish an early morning kill or simply immerse in the pristine chirping and sounds of over 300 species of birds commonly observed in the park.

Crouch slowly and capture the majestic strides of the tigers, jackals and wolves, observe in wonderment as large herds of deer and gaur slowly make their way from one watering hole to another or simply challenge yourself to notice the various species of small insects and rare plants.

The afternoon safaris allow you to feast on the dynamic jungle activity as the dying sun signals the advent of the game between the predators and their preys. Our specialized guides skillfully trapeze through the maze of flora and fauna, especially in the Mukki region of the Park and help you observe the theatre of nature from the front stalls.

Time Involved: Morning Safari 5 to 6 hours / Afternoon Safari 3 to 3.5 hours

We may never get to see our superheroes in person but Kanha offers you the opportunity to be the superhero to the generations of tomorrow. As you get ready for your rendezvous with your childhood friends, Bagheera and Baloo, take two children from the Kohoka village, as guests with you into the Park. Exhilaration begets excitement and as you watch the theatrics of the wild, multiply your excitement as you watch children who've never been inside the Park gush with enthusiasm at the wonders of the wild. Just as Mowgli's adventures were accentuated by the presence of his friends, so too can your experience be magical with your new found friends and that too at no extra cost!

Time Involved: Morning Safari 5 to 6 hour

Take a Paghdandi (footpath) into the interiors of the forest on a 20km track using special all terrain Firefox bicycles to Jaldidand Baiga Village in the interiors of reserved forest.

The village is a showcase of traditional Baiga Tribal life wi t h beautifully painted mud huts belonging to a primarily agrarian tribal society. Life in these villages remains untouched by modern development and allows a rare insight into the anthropological heritage of Madhya Pradesh. The village location also allows for panoramic views of the landscapes and forests of the area. (Recommended for groups of not more than 4 people)

Time Involved: 5 hours

The Phen Wildlife Sanctuary is a satellite micro-core habitat just off the 940 km square of core area and 1009 km square of buffer zone of the Kanha Tiger Reserve. Untouched by mainstream tourism, this Sanctuary offers the luxury of observing wildlife that rarely comes in contact with the human race. A day trip from Singhinawa offers more than just a safari - it offers the exceptional luxury of being one with rare breeds of birds and animals without the constraints of commercially crowded eco-tourism. Take off that watch, let go off your commitments and soak in nature the way it's meant to be - unhurried and unreserved. Fathom the expanse of the panoramic landscape, absorb the verdure beauty and build the bond with the elements. It's surreal!

Take a day off. After a lie in and a leisurely breakfast, or the morning Park Safari, head to the Tannaur river beach for the day.

An ideal place to relax with a book, and some binoculars (the river and its bank are rich in bird life), enjoy the tranquil sounds of the water, the calls of the wild, and perhaps dip your toes into the cold, refreshing waters of the stream. Lunch is cooked fresh and served piping hot by your cook and attentive personal waiter under a charming gazebo set up especially for the occasion.

Reflexology or Oriental Oil free Massage treatment, soaking in the sun in surroundings that are truly magical. Choose to head back or just enjoy the peace. After a picnic tea head back to the Lodge in time for your favourite sun downer. (Recommended for groups of not more than 4 people.)

Time Involved: Personalised to your needs

The Spa at Singinawa is carefully designed to help you relax, rejuvenate and renew yourself to add to the complete holiday experience. Started as an attempt to offer an alternate means of economic benefit to the local community, the therapists at the Spa are members of the local community who have been trained in India and Nepal in the arts of massage and reflexology. All the therapies have been carefully designed with a balance of Indian and oriental healing treatments, incorporating all that is required to promote physical, mental and spiritual equilibrium.

Mohgaon, Baihar and Sarekha are three village marts, on different days of the week, which offer a chance to experience the charming chaos of traditional markets. On offer you will find fresh farm produce, seeds and saplings, spices, bamboo wares, earthen pots and ethnic jewellery, the local tailor making instant blouses, the repair shop for transistor radios, the cobbler, knife sharpener, ear cleaner, local barber holding forth in his shop under a tree and congregations having a shot of 'chai' at the tea stalls all to the accompaniment of local music blaring from a small chai stall. In addition, once a week at Mohgaon there is cattle fair where several hundred cattle are brought for sale or barter.

We have our own community of potters in the by-lanes of Baihar. They busy themselves on a daily basis making an array of household articles sold every Sunday during the bustling weekly market. What is enthralling is the ancient wheel used to form all their lovely cooking pots, storage urns for water, amongst many other articles lovingly caressed into form. A visit to their world of clay makes for a fascinating excursion into the lives of the humblest of souls, especially if they invite you spin the wheel and create your own version of a pot, a planter, and even a clay beaker. It’s a lot of fun, and they love your presence in their versatile, simple lives.

The Shergarh Tented Camp is near the Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh. This establishment has 6 tents, each having been set to provide total privacy from one another.

Jeep Safaris Night Safari Walk in the Jungle Canoe Safari Junior Rangers Program

Cross the Denwa at the crack of dawn to watch the Satpura Reserve come alive—birds, mammals, reptiles and more. Look out for the impressive ghost tree, the frankincense tree, and more. Our naturalists, and trackers from the reserve, will stop and point out to you the bits of the unfolding action you might have missed. If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the tigress who frequents this part of the jungle. She either knows the morning safari schedule by heart, or has a puckish sense of humour; every now and then, she will cross the paths between two jeep trips, and leave a careful set of pugmarks across fresh jeep tracks.

The Jeep Safari will take you through the Madhai meadow to breakfast at a pile of volcanic rock, overlooking a stream. You can also try the Jeep Safari for a similar duration in the afternoon. Set aside about four hours if you’d like to do this the right way—by the stop-whisper-peer-whisper-start method.

Night Safaris: The Night drives in the buffer zone of Satpura are carefully controlled by the Park management and are a fantastic way of looking for rarely seen nocturnal species like owls, civets and Rusty Spotted Cats and also the biggies like leopards and sloth bears. It's astonishing how many animals inhabit these human dominated forests. Night Safaris can either be included in the two daily safaris or as a third extra safari to be paid for separately.

The Satpura Reserve is one of only two protected forests in India where visitors are allowed the privilege of walking through a designated area.There’s walking, and then there is learning to place your feet according to the undulations of the landscape, the minor shifts in the undergrowth, and the many variations of mud the jungle can offer. Not to speak of the rather surprising racket that your feet can make across fallen teak leaves.

There is something to be said for experiencing this forest at human scale; when you are unmagnified by technology, dwarfed by the hills and by stands of teak and sal turned into cathedrals by birdsong. About the silence that precedes the moment when you ear begins picking up all the forgotten frequencies it was designed for--the entire range of jungle sounds from close by and afar. There is also the that addictive prickle of excitement that comes from animal encounters; ranging from a sounder of wild boar hurtling by, and the sounds of chital or sambhar jogging off, looking back at you curiously, but careful about staying out of range, to somewhat trickier meetings with sloth bears, Indian bison, and leopards.

The Walking Safari is best done in small groups, at dawn, or later in the day; a tracker from the reserve will lead, you in the middle, and our naturalist behind you. You will be put through a quick safety-drill—what to do if a surly sloth-bear turns up. And if you’re curious about the bulges in the tracker’s pockets, do ask.

The northern edge of Satpura is bordered by the enormous reservoir of the Tawa Dam which adds enormously to the scenic splendour of this park. In a wonderfully pioneering move, the park management introduced 3-man canoes for two guests and a boatman who will take you across the Denwa into its many little bays and inlets. Here you may observe, unobtrusively, animals stopping to drink, or shy marsh mugger crocodiles sunning themselves. You’ll need a little list to keep track of the birds you might pass on the sandbanks: sandpipers, red wattled lapwings, cranes, herons, stilts, and five kinds of kingfisher. Indeed there is no better way to watch and photograph birds. Most people are addicted after the first experience. On several occasions we have paddled gently along observing wild dogs hunting, or bears foraging for food and on one occasion tracked a leopard kill.

Spread over three days, this course is designed for children (and adults) who are interested in acquiring the basic tools of jungle craft in order to derive greater enjoyment and understanding of any wilderness. The course will operate for just about 2 hours per day with sessions held between safaris and in the evening for 30 – 40 minutes. It is a fun and interactive course with Forsyth’s enthusiastic and knowledgeable young naturalists. The course will cover use of equipment, basics of ecology, learning how to identify different species, using field guides and making field notes and sketches, identifying tracks and basics of nature photography. As an introductory offer there will be no extra charge for this course. Each session will be limited to 6 people. You can attend any sessions you want but will need a minimum of 7 sessions to quality for the certificate!

Driven by passion for wildlife and conservation encouraged Shyamendra Singh, grandson of Maharaja of Nagod to establish the lodge. The lodge has been washed out twice in the floods of 1992 and 2007 but has been rebuilt with the same zeal and passion. The lodge is set in a forested estate of 50 acres and has been built with natural materials sourced mostly from neighboring villages and surrounding areas. The forested estate is home to many mammals, birds and reptiles.
