Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge

Satna

What a delightful campus with all sorts of interesting places to lounge and relax. At every turn was something appealing, almost like a treasure hunt.  Food, staff, the works, enhanced our stay in the beautiful Bandhavgarh National Park.  The lounge area was comfortable and invited exchanges and conversation with the other visitors, who are always a good source of information.  

Our room was not the most expensive  and was more distant from the dining area.  It was very comfortable and suited us well. If you get a room that does not require a little stroll to get to, take that stroll anyway and enjoy the nice artistic touches found strewn throughout the grounds.

Enchanting

The lodge is situated just beside the Tala core zone entry gate. 
The lodge has cottages and they have been designed and decorated beautifully.
The staff and their hospitality is just outstanding.
Since we were going on Safaris in mornings, the staff made sure that the breakfast is nicely packed , with great attention to details . In the evening and night safaris which ends quiet late , the staff waited for our return to serve us delicious food even at 11 pm.
Mr Karthikeyan and Mr Simran who were the naturalists were wonderful to talk to  and provided us with loads of information.
If you are in Bhandhavgarh, would highly recommend this place for staying.
The thrilling experience of getting to see tigers in their natural environment along with Jungle lodge's great hospitality made our vacation really memorable.

The Bandhavgarh experience at Jungle lodge.

The Jungle Lodge fulfilled all expectation matching its reputation as one of the oldest in the region. It has perfectly blended the old and the new, with rooms still retaining their classical fittings, with the addition of all the modern amenities to make one's stay more comfortable.
The staff, were by far, its greatest asset, especially for someone like me with mobility restrictions. Not only had care been taken to place me in a chalet close to the dining room, but there seemed to always be someone 'camped' outside of the chalet to wheel my chair to the waiting safari jeeps and for meals - always with a cheery smile, even when the unseasonal rains had made the gravel walkways a little muddy and one required an extra push along the short journey to the dining room.
A sumptuous outdoor barbecue, served on a dining table that evoked reminiscences of years gone by, and a warning that a wild elephant was roaming the borders of the lodge, what more could one ask for on the final evening of our journey? A leopard had been seen near the Car Park by those first out early that morning, such is the Lodge's nearness to the Park.
The Management, the charming Naturalists and, most of all, the staff made for a memorable, and comfortable, 3 days at the Lodge...a place to be heartily recommended to any discerning visitor to Bandhavghar.

A classy stay at Bandhavghar

I have been visting Bandhavarh for quite some time now but this was the first time I stayed at the Bnadhavgarh Jungle Lodge. I can say that this was my best and the most comfortable trip so far. The lodge is just beautiful. The rooms are neat and clean and they are cleaned more than once in a day. It was raining during this time and my shoes often carried some mud but everytime i went out and came back to the room, they were super clean. It's super comfortable and the whole vibe of the place matches with the surroundings. They also are really sustainable when it comes to the use of resources. 
The staff is really friendly and super courteous. Sadhvi Singh, the manager, made sure that there was aboslutely no problem in my stay and didn't let me break a sweat for anything, from stay to food to safaris. She ensured that my stay at the lodge becomes a memorable one. Simranjeet Singh, the naturalist, is a great company in the jungle and is a great asset when it comes to spotting birds and most importantly the tigers. He is quick with his predictions of the tiger movement and often got me into really good angles to click the tigers. Special mention to the chefs who never made me feel like i'm having a food in a hotel, it was homely and at the same time so delicious that I overate all my meals. 
I would not think twice before booking a stay and infact, i will be troubling the lodge more often now that i have a great place to stay. It's like a home away from home.

My best experience so far

Our final stop on this tiger safari was the wonderful Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge, located just off the busy Tala main road, with easy access to the Bandhavgarh National Park.  We were completely blown away by the exceptional hospitality, care to detail and friendliness of the management team and staff at the Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge.  The Jungle Lodge had been established by an ardent conservationist some 30 years before and the current management and staff had done a wonderful job of ensuring and expanding on those original conservationist goals.  Once again, the attention to detail – hair dryers and power strips in the bedrooms, ample tea and coffee in the bedrooms, lovely sitting areas to enjoy the surrounding jungle either in company or by yourself, the delicious food, prepared in interesting ways including a campfire style barbeque and finally, the extreme dedication of the staff to ensure that your time at the Lodge was magical was truly appreciated.  While once again, we had amazing sightings of tigers, bear and many other species, when we returned to the Lodge and were greeted by the friendly staff, it was like we were coming home.  I highly recommend Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge as your venue when you decide to visit the wondrous Bandhavgarh National Park.

Fantastic Tiger Sightings and then Come Home to the Lodge

Bandhav Jungle Lodge was home away from home. Courteous, excellent service with old world charm. I would recommend the lodge whole heartedly. Sadhvi and team know what is needed for a fantastic experience 

The Bandhavgargh Experience

Charming hotel with impeccable and warm reception. The bungalows are perfectly equipped and the main lodge is superbly arranged very welcoming. The meals are very good and all the staff particularly pleasant. The hotel offers safaris that allowed us to observe some tigers in their natural environment, many daims, birds and curious monkeys in quantity.

It's perfect.

An amazing experience in the jungles to see tigers started at  the Bhadhavgargh jungle lodge. The property was not only outstanding but people in it made the stay a memorable one. From the attention to detail to the attention each person received from the staff about  guests’ preferences,  to thinking ahead of things that the guests would ask for was just amazing hospitality. The chef too satisfied our palettes with every meal and the locations for each meal everyday made it a spectacular experience. Really enjoyed our two safari guides ( sorry forgot their names!!) who were so knowledgable not only about the tigers but all species of fauna and flora!! The highlight for me was listening to the warning calls of the animals in the jungle on the approach of the predator!! Cheers to a fab Lodge! 

Amazing Jungle Experience

My family visited this property in Nov 22 for 5 nights. We have been on several safari holidays in the past but this one has easily been the best. Sadhvi and her staff do such an exceptional job in taking care off the guests providing such personalised hospitality. The food that was served was qmazing, staff was super courteous and friendly. The property has an amazing location right next to Tala gate that it's very common to hear alarm calls through the night and find pug marks outside the gate. We had karitikay (sorry if I spent it wrong) who was our naturalist for all our drives and his knowledge about the jungle and its animals is amazing. We will continue to return here not only because of the amazing Jungle but also for Sadhvi, Karitkay and the entire team who made us feel like we were part of their family. 

Thank you Sadhvi and Thank you Jungle Lodge team 🙏

Best Safari Stay EVER!

With so many options to ring in the new year it was difficult to choose. With all the "must do's and must pay's', and all the exorbitant price hikes, one really wonders whether it's worth the hassle. But Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge sounded like the perfect place to go for.
We were not forced into any extra costs and celebrations, ( Or noise ) and the place was perfect to sit by that crisp winter bonfire, and contemplate about the past year and read the fire for what's to come.

The place felt like home, with its earthy warm cottages and dinning area, and we felt welcomed and taken care of personally. Small details were attended to and I would like to thank Sadhvi Singh for this because she was there to connect with us throughout our 5 day stay and make sure things were going smoothly.Our safari's and bird watching walks were absolutely unforgettable, because of the terrain of course but also because of the naturalists, Kartikay and Priyadarshini Singh. Kartikay has extensive experience with being a naturalist and is very well informed with animal and bird behaviours. His skills and professionalism shines through with excellent narrating skills about the jungle and animal movements. We did not have many Tiger sightings but I did not miss it, because the jungle was alive otherwise and the storytelling captivated my attention.

The Lodge staff is very courteous and attentive too, with our hot water bottles in place under the blankets on crazy chilly nights and room put in order daily. The simple yet yummy meals were set at different locations on the property everyday which added to the adventure!

Some tips to improve on the already excellent service and hospitality, is that the shower water did not run hot for long, and the water pressure was quite low. The food could have a bit more of variation adding a continental menu to the existing one, and breakfast choices could be expanded.

I would say that all in all it was a great choice and I would definitely visit for longer, given that I did not get enough time to enjoy and explore all the well maintained and beautifully curated  corners of the Lodge. 

Thank you so much to the entire team.
