Backwater Safari

From the endless days and enchanting evenings that we’ve spent exploring the paths of Pench, we’ve been able to curate and present some truly exclusive experiences for you to discover. Our Backwater Safari, set in a secret location of the most incredible vistas, is perhaps the most unique experience of those. Equally enchanting during the morning or evening, this is an unmissable experience that you will not be able to get enough of. Conducted for 3 hours over the backwaters of a dam, this will stay with you a lot more than any jeep safari you’ve ever done.

An Evening At Kohka

Kohka is the name of a village close to the resort and it also gives its name to the lake that’s been created close to it where you can do something unique – enjoy a drive atop the embankment of the dam itself before ending at a home where to see how the locals live.

Dinner Under the Stars

The stars never shine brighter than in the dark solitude of the jungle. This is why we
offer a range of options for you to enjoy your dinner under starlight. Choose between Barbeque or Candlelight dinners at various points on the property.

Night Photography

Specially curated for our adventurous guests, this is an experience you should not miss out on. For 3 hours post dinner, we wander the outskirts of the jungle and help you track and sight rare-to-spot species like the Indian Wolf and Jungle Cat, among others.

Celebrate with the Gonds

The Gond tribe are the original inhabitants of this land and they still honour and celebrate their traditions and festivals with pride and delight. We arrange for the performers from their community to come to the resort and share how they celebrate with songs, dhol, and taasha.

Kala Pahad

Named after the majestic peak at the centre of Pench National Park, Kala Pahad, our Games Lounge, is perched above our bar and restaurant and offers an array of games for guests of all ages to enjoy.

Up in the Air

Private operators offer motor paragliding and air balloon rides which, if you should book for yourselves, we’ll be happy to drop you to and pick you up

Bonfires

Nothing says being in the wild like a bonfire at night. If you’d like to enjoy one, we’ll organise it for you in the courtyard outside your room.

Pottery Village Visit

Pachdhar, a village of around a hundred families of Kumhaars, as the potters are called in the local language, is close to the resort. Here, we’ve organised a special session for you to try your hand at pottery either on the wheel or moulding by hand.
