Surrounded by the teak forests and jungle streams of Pench National Park, Baghvan offers days of adventure on the prowl for tigers, and nights of bliss in one of 12 luxurious suites.
EXPERIENCE
The calls of parakeets float above the forest as your 4x4 approaches Baghvan. The smell of cardamom and curry meets your nose as you arrive at the resort, where dinner is being prepared in the open kitchen. None of the 12 stand-alone suites are visible; they're each tucked away in a private stand of trees. You barely have time to take it all in, when suddenly a call rings out on the guide's radio - tigers have been spotted. You climb into a safari van and dash out into the jungle.
The luxury safari resort of Baghvan is an exotic blend of luxury and adventure. Early mornings on the safari in search of leopards, wild dogs, and tigers blend into languid afternoons relaxing by the pool. And throughout it all, your bungalow offers a private retreat with an air-conditioned bedroom, private deck, and a covered roof terrace for romantic sleep-outs.
And those spices you smelled? You'll enjoy Indian classics every evening, all serviced with fresh-baked naan and chutney, of course.
