Wildlife Reserves of Central India

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.
