PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:
- A luxurious safari lodge, Baghvan is located at the edge of Pench National Park, situated next to a stream and surrounded by forest. The lodge is 90 minutes’ drive from Nagpur Airport. The lodge consists of 12 contemporary-style bungalows with large courtyards, private shaded sit-outs, an outdoor shower and a romantic rooftop sleep-out on a private machan, or jungle platform.
- With its open rooftop machans and large wooden decks that overlook the shady nullah, guests to Baghvan Jungle Lodge are constantly immersed in the sights and sounds of the Indian jungle.
- Rich birdlife flits through the trees overhanging your machan and monkeys chatter excitedly in the dense foliage. The sounds of the jungle filter through the night and you drift off to sleep to the distant yipping of jackal.
- The lodge features a bar & library, pool surrounded by sprawling grounds and in-room spa treatments.
- Fine Indian cuisine is served on your private veranda or on the poolside deck.
- Live out your Jungle Book fantasies at Pench National Park, the quietest of Madhya Pradesh’s ‘big three’ wildlife sanctuaries.

ACTIVITIES:

Located just 100 kms away from Nagpur, a two hour drive brings you to Baghvan, which literally means the ‘tiger forest’. Only a few minutes from the national park entrance these 12 charming stand-alone bungalows are built alongside a picturesque dry riverbed, that demarcates the lodge premises from the national park. Each bungalow comes with its own rooftop machan, indoor and outdoor shower areas and a private sit-out surrounded by the woods. A colonial theme is nuanced in the guest areas with a vintage radio, crystal candelabras on the dining table and metal chandeliers. Delicate Parsi tiles on the live food counter, woven hyacinth furniture and giant ebony chests add to the elegance of the hall. The Taj Safari Lodge in Baghvan has a delightful infinity pool shaded by trees overlooking the forest. Other amenities include a safari shop, library, computer & TV and a massage treatment room.
Twice daily safaris are conducted by expert naturalists in specially designed 4X4 vehicles with theatre style seating. Morning safaris start shortly after sunrise. Along with the thrill of tiger tracking, is a memorable stop for a picnic breakfast. Afternoon safaris last a couple of hours and end at sunset. A safari drive in Pench is a study in contrasting habitats made very interesting by the interpretation of an expert naturalist on the importance and role of each region.
