Overview

Mahua Kothi is unlike any safari experience in the country so far – impeccable service and lush luxury. A co-venture between the Taj Safaris and &Beyond, the Mahua Kothi lodge is sprawled over 40 acres just 20 minutes from the entrance to Bandhavgarh, around the renowned former tented camp, Churhat Kothi. The original kothi (homestead) comprises the guest areas and has been beautifully renovated, while the guest accommodation is all brand new. The accommodation and facilities of the lodge blend charmingly into the quaint and rustic surroundings. The guest areas at Mahua Kothi boast high ceilings, terracotta floor tiles, overhead fans, inviting fireplace, and traditional sitting areas with window seats. The enormous 600 sq ft veranda runs the length of the building with generous built-in seats for star gazing and the open kitchen is a wonderful place to see local food being prepared.

 

Situated in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh National Park is a 448 km2 renowned tiger reserve. Bandhavgarh supports one of the highest densities of tigers on the Subcontinent. Its hilly open terrain includes many large grassland meadows that offer good chances of sightings.


Lodges are not operational from 1st July onwards till 15th October, as the national parks are closed due to monsoons.

    Each of the twelve charming jungle village huts – or kutiyas – are built in the vernacular style of Central India, affectionately known as ‘MP Chic’ (MP being the state of Madhya Pradesh). Each is accessed through private courtyards with shaded seating and traditional mud floors. Interiors include wooden shutters, tapered mud coloured walls in lime and earth washes (finished by hand), open rafters with roughly hewn wooden beams, and handmade pottery roof tiles.
