Sustainable Resort in Bandhavgarh National Park
As part of our community outreach programme, the team of Tree House Hideaway – Bandhavgarh gifted bicycles to meritorious kids at Bijhuriya village school. The bicycles were presented by our eldest team member Bhaiya Lal (Bade Dadu).
At the heart of our sustainability vision is not only the commitment to reduce our impact on the shared environment but also to contribute towards a positive change. We strive to encourage avenues for economic well-being for the host communities that we co-exist with and charm our guests with authentic & holistic experiences.
We have in 2020 adopted ESG, the international sustainability criteria for hotels, provided by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. In doing so, we realigned our commitments and positioned active governance, as the lever to manage our actions, monitor performance and sustain the changes; in collaboration with our guests, tourism bodies, and industry networks.
Besides its mainstay of running wildlife lodges, Pugdundee Safaris has been keenly engaged in conservation and community development activities. At Pugdundee we believe local people hold the future of the forests in their hands and can either help protect or destroy them. If we wish to conserve our forests, we must look after the needs of local people by helping to improve their ability to earn livelihoods.
Our lodges set mostly in remote locations away from regular tourism hubs help ensure that the benefit of eco-tourism is distributed far and beyond.
Kings Lodge is a wildlife eco-lodge nestled in a large natural forested estate of 14 hectares in Rancha village, stands as a prestigious resort in Bandhavgarh.
At a 10-minute drive from the Tala gate of the national park, the lodge is ensconced amidst 2 Sal forested hills of Bandhavgarh National Park. The Lodge enjoys unparalleled woodlands and wilderness amongst well-appointed surroundings. The Kings Lodge is in the heart of the wild country and 95% of our land is forested.
No trees were felled during the construction of our lodge. Our guests benefit from our incredible location, outstanding hospitality, in-house naturalist team, and commitment to conservation and local communities.
Kings Lodge, Bandhavgarh has 10 cottage rooms and 8 stilt cottage rooms with en-suite modern bathrooms. It is spread across a natural forest offering great ambiance and solitude. It is strategically located to access all gates of the park swiftly yet far enough to ensure a great wilderness and a discerning experience.
For the ones who seek more adventure, Tree House Hideaway – On and among the trees in our five tree houses there is a route to hide away from fantasies. In the 21 acres area of forest rests an option of experiencing the snug life inside the rooms or venturing out in the tiger-infested wild.
The property has its resident species of birds, reptiles, and animals residing around the forest trees, and over time the area has now become a small secure park for them. You can spend your time unseen and undisturbed in the intimacy of your room or choose to go looking for wild animals & birds in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.
