Baghvan

Separated by a dry river bed, the Baghvan, a five-star Taj hotel property, sits on the edge of Pench National Park and offers travellers a rustic yet sophisticated wildlife experience.

The resort offers 12 standalone bungalows that overlook the lush greenery of the jungle. Feel at home in spacious air-conditioned bungalows done up in shades of turquoise and copper, rustic wooden furniture and plenty of old-world charm. Relax to the sounds of nature on the cushioned swing or head up to the machan, where you can sneak in some shut-eye during the day or catch up on your reading on the comfortable daybed. Wake up to bird song, best experienced in the private verandah and wooden deck. Wash off any tiredness in the ensuite bathroom that opens into the dense foliage and features double sinks and a separate shower area. Increase your chances of spotting the great Bengal tiger with expert naturalist-led safari drives in the morning and evening, and get a feel for the flora and fauna of the land on enlightening nature trails. Spend afternoons by the infinity pool or with an indulgent massage treatment at the in-house spa. Dine under sparkling chandeliers at the main dining hall and enjoy farm-to-fork dishes made from ingredients sourced from the resort’s organic garden. Make mealtimes even more memorable with unique experiences. Savour dinner under a Mahua tree around a bonfire, arrange for a romantic meal to be served in your private deck or feast on a variety of expertly prepared dishes by the poolside.
