Community Outreach Programme for Vijahria School Children<\/h2>\n

\u201cLet us remember: one book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.\u201d \u2013 Malala Yousafzai\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Team Tree House Hideaway<\/strong><\/a>, Bandhavgarh had organised a community outreach programme for the Vijahria school children. Our teams interacted with the students where they spoke about the wildlife of Bandhavgarh and the harmful effects of using plastic.<\/p>\n

Through these small efforts, we aim to educate children to care about the environment. We ended the day with the distribution of steel water bottles and a few other goodies. Their laughter and joy made our day a memorable one.<\/span><\/p>\n

A special thank you to Ms. Beatrice Dolder of Mahout<\/a> and Ms.Emery for helping us make this programme a success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Besides its mainstay of running wildlife lodges,\u00a0Pugdundee Safaris<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has 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.<\/p>\n\n

Kings Lodge Bandhavgarh<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a wildlife eco-lodge nestled in a large natural forested estate of 14 hectares in Rancha village. At a 10-minute drive from the Tala gate of the national park, the lodge is ensconced amidst 2 Sal forested hills of\u00a0Bandhavgarh National Park<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n

Kings Lodge, Bandhavgarh has\u00a010 cottage rooms and 8 stilt cottage rooms<\/strong>\u00a0with 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.<\/p>\n\n

For the ones who seek more adventure,\u00a0Tree House Hideaway\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>\u2013 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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
