Bagh Villas is a boutique jungle camp nestled on the edge of Kanha Tiger Reserve. Located in the heart of Central India’s enchanting forests, Bagh Villas offers an immersive experience that brings guests closer to the jungle, harmonizing the relationship between humans and nature. Dedicated to wildlife conservation and sustainable tourism, the camp ensures that all safaris, curated experiences, amenities, and homegrown produce are designed to minimize environmental impact and leave no trace.
Stay
Inspired by the Maharajas’ hunting expeditions and battle campaigns, Bagh Villas’ accommodations blend traditional Jodhpuri Shikar design with the contemporary style of an African camp. They offer two tent categories: Shikar tents and Tented Suites, along with two lakeside cottages featuring adjoining verandahs. Secluded at the camp’s edge and overlooking a private lake, these cottages are perfect for families or couples traveling together. Both tents and cottages are spacious yet intimate, each equipped with an en-suite bathroom, bamboo shower, double-vanity wash basins, and a private lakeside verandah deck.
