At Mahua Kothi Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge, the days are designed to thrill you with unexpected jungle encounters, and the fragrant Indian nights to delight and indulge your senses.
- Morning Game Drive - Your personal wake-up call will deliver fresh fruit juice, tea and coffee to your bungalow before your morning game drive. Enjoy a morning full of adventure in Bandhavgarh National Park, which could include catching sight of a tiger from the back of an elephant.
- Breakfast - Breakfast takes place on the veranda or in the baghiya (traditional garden), with platters heaped with traditional Indian fare or the more familiar eggs cooked to your preference. Try Indian delicacies like poha, or saffron rich with fresh vegetables, and pao bhaji, or fresh bread rolls served with tomato and onion.
- Lunch - Take a dip in the swimming pool before lunch, served on the veranda or in the baghiya.
- Afternoon Tea - Indulge in an Ayurvedic massage in your room or take a ride around the grounds on one of the many bicycles scattered around the lodge. The guest veranda is the setting for afternoon tea.
- Afternoon Game Drive - Enter the jungles of Bandhavgarh once again on your afternoon game drive. Look out for gaur, sambal and chital coming down to drink at the many jungle streams. Tiger and leopard are getting ready for the hunt, and you may be lucky enough to spot one of these beautiful predators. Pause for a sundowner cocktail at the old fort.
- Dinner - Back at the lodge dinner will be waiting in the dining area or under the magnificent mahua tree. You may even enjoy a chapal, an outdoor dinner where traditional tandoori meals are cooked on charcoal. Savour delicious Indian dishes, from curries and roasted vegetables to chili infused dishes and chutneys. After dinner, go back to your kutiya for a restful night's sleep.
