Kanha Jungle Lodge sits on the edge of Kanha National Park, run by Pugdundee Safaris in the reserve widely believed to have inspired Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book.
Cottages set within a forested garden compound, each simply furnished with a private veranda.
Home-style meals served communally, consistent with Pugdundee Safaris’ broader lodge portfolio.
Jeep safaris into Kanha’s core and buffer zones, tracking tiger, barasingha and the reserve’s varied birdlife.
Kanha is the last stronghold of the hard-ground barasingha, alongside a healthy tiger and leopard population.
Kanha’s sal forest meadows give strong open sightlines for photographing barasingha herds, a species found almost nowhere else.
Kanha’s barasingha recovery, from near-extinction to a stable population, is one of India’s most cited single-species conservation successes.
