Introduction
Saj in the Forest, Pench
Formed in 1975 and named after the river that flows through it, Pench National Park and the Tiger Reserve is today a shining example of tiger conservation. Spread over nearly 260 sq.km., the Park is spreads into both Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh and is home to a wide range of flora and fauna. This land of legend was the perfect place for us to expand into Central India and set up our third property.
Enter Saj in the Forest, Pench. Adjoining the forest and sprawled over 32 acres of undulating land, Saj in the Forest is our ode to childhood memories and lost adventure. We share our boundary with the buffer of the forest and we have intentionally left this unfenced to ensure the natural habitat remains untouched to the maximum extent possible and all species coexist and freely move about, without stepping into each other’s spaces. After all, this is their home and we are the visitors.
