Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge

Bandhavgarh National Park
Adventure - tranquillity - nature
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Just outside the Tala gate of Bandhavgarh National Park, this understated lodge channels the spirit of a forest retreat. Built with mud walls and thatched roofs, the cottages echo local village architecture, blending into the edge-of-jungle setting. There’s nothing flashy – the focus is firmly on the rhythms of the natural world and quiet, grounded hospitality.

Evenings are low-lit and reflective, often spent by the firepit swapping stories with naturalists and fellow travellers. Mornings begin early with safari drives, returning to home-cooked meals and a hammock strung between trees. A calm, connected base for one of India’s most wildlife-rich parks.

Loved it - a diverse and beautiful country with amazing sights and charming people.

Val Bunker, Sri Lanka trip, 2025 (Feefo)

Fabulous - really interesting itinerary, that included everything we thought we wanted along with so much more we didn't know we needed to include. That is the joy of Selective Asia, using their knowledge to create your perfect trip!

Joanne Coles, Japan trip, 2024 (Feefo)

Great locations, tours were top notch and we got to see so many orangutans.

Jonathan Pritchard, Borneo trip (Feefo)

It was amazing from start to finish. Really informative when we were planning the trip, flexible about our itinerary, offering a range of options but all backed with knowledge of the lodges and reserves. The support when we were away was excellent with alternative arrangements made quickly when a flight was cancelled and great advice when our return flight seats were changed. We would absolutely recommend the company, particularly if you are looking for something a little different but special.

Linda Johnson, Borneo

Absolutely a wonderful tour of Vietnam taking in many of the major sites. The holiday was faultless: great transport always on time,fantastic guides and the most luxurious of hotel accommodation. All the treats of drinks and food were excellent. We did things that we would not have experienced without our guides. Truly 5 star service.
