Pitched right by a forest, this luxury glamping lodge gives guests the chance to get up close to nature with its array of shut-eye options.
Sink into bed in one of 10 luxury tents, snuggle up on your private patio with a hot water bottle to keep you cosy or, best of all, snooze in an alfresco suite.
Set on a platform high on stilts, these four-poster beds, known as machaan, offer guests unbeatable star-gazing opportunities under a clear night sky and prime animal viewing come the crack of dawn.
Spot deer, leopards and, if you’re lucky, tigers roaming from nearby Pench National Park.
After a night out in nature enjoy breakfast back at camp, a daytime safari and afternoon cocktails in the shade of a huge banyan tree.

Why It Exists
To give travellers a way to experience India’s wild Pench landscape up close, without losing the comfort of a proper bed and a bit of luxury in the middle of the forest.
The Vibe
Barefoot bush living with a luxury edge, where candlelit nights, rustling trees and distant animal calls set the rhythm of your stay.
Your Bed Tonight
A raised safari tent or open-air machaan perched above the forest floor, designed for sleeping under the stars with wildlife quite literally on your doorstep.
The Thing You’ll Brag About Later
Waking up in bed to the sound of the jungle and spotting deer or even a tiger moving through the trees before breakfast.
Eat / Drink This
Simple, seasonal Indian meals enjoyed under the canopy of a banyan tree, followed by a well-earned cocktail after a day on safari.
Steal This Local Move
Stay awake for just a little longer on your machaan; the jungle at night is when everything comes alive, and it’s worth every minute of lost sleep.
