Local material and manpower has been used extensively in building the lodge, many construction workers have been trained and are now part of the permanent lodge team.




The Lodge is tucked in a forested area of 16 acres adjoining the buffer zone of Kanha in a small tribal hamlet. The lodge is set in deep jungles away from the tourism hub of Kanha yet close enough for an easy access to the Khatia/Kisli park gate, there is good opportunity to view variety of mammals and birds around the lodge itself. The area is untouched by any kind of tourism or development and offers the discerning guest the guarantee of privacy. It offers lovely walks and biking trails around the lodge. While Kanha has a reputation of being over crowded with lodges, we have no neighbouring lodges or highways.&index_txt3=Luxury Accommodation&index_txt4=The lodge offers only 12 beautiful open fronted bungalows with en suite bathrooms and dressing room and large open verandahs set in 16 acres of jungle. All bedrooms have spilt air conditioners and 100 percent power back up for the erratic rural supply. The lodge is rustic yet deluxe built mainly with local stone, logs, baked tiles, tribal artifacts and done up with fine rustic furniture, sanitary fittings and cotton upholstery. The main lodge building has the dining hall, a nature library cum presentation room and office cum eco shop. The eco shop contributes 25 percent of its sale proceeds for conservation activities in Central India. The infinity pool is set between Mahua trees and its infinity edge merges with the jungles of the Kanha forest.&index_txt5=Incredible Dining Experience&index_txt6=Our dining hall is open only to in house guests and serve a variety of Indian and Continental meals cooked with locally sourced fresh produce from the neighbouring villages. We take pride in sourcing all our ingredients fresh from the villages and grind our own spices. To ensure a regular variety of vegetables and fruits reach our kitchen every day we have encouraged a village kitchen garden project. Under the Baadi (Kitchen garden) we have already partnered with 5 families to grow fresh produce needed by the lodge. We support them with seeds and technical manpower. We also visit weekly village markets for fresh produce. Guests are welcome to visit the Baadis and weekly markets during village walks.We are happy to consider special dietary requirements with prior information.&index_txt1a=Exclusive area in Kanha &index_img1=images/index1.jpg& ///////////// Second Page //////////// &second_title1=ABOUT KANHA &second_txt2=Kanha tiger reserve is spread over 1949 sq km (940 sq km is the core zone and 1009 is the buffer zone), making it one of the best habitats for Tiger in India.

In Hindi, Pugdundee means a foot trail used by animals and humans and refers to the narrow, beaten paths that wind through the Indian jungles. Pugdundee Safaris' roots are in central India where we made a humble start in 1986 with a small camp in Panna. Today, we own and manage 6 exclusive safari lodges set in the breathtaking wilderness of 5 tiger reserves: Panna, Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench and Satpura.

Pugdundee Safaris is recognized as one of India's leading responsible safari companies. Between 2010 and 2013, we have been awarded for our excellence in eco-tourism, our commitment to green architecture, our experienced naturalists and our pioneering mobile safari initiative.

We believe that responsible tourism and wildlife conservation go hand-in-hand. Thus, we passionately promote responsible travel, adopt sustainable practices and facilitate local involvement in conservation by empowering the communities that surround our lodges. Our dedicated team of 150 (many of whom belong to nearby villages), provide a truly authentic Indian wildlife experience.

At Pugdundee, our every endeavour is driven by our deep love for India's forests and our passion for its wildlife. And we attempt to nurture in each of our guests, this same enduring love for India's wild spaces.

So come, walk on a pugdundee with us. & &Tenth_img1=images/about.jpg&
