    Baghvan, a Taj safari

    Nestled on the edge of the Pench National Park, in the heart of the jungle, is the Baghvan lodge. Pench National Park is renowned for being home to numerous wildlife species, some of which are endangered—such as the tiger, leopard and wild dog—while also harbouring various antelopes and a multitude of birds. The park has a special aura, as it is said to have inspired the author Rudyard Kipling to write his famous The Jungle Book. Baghvan, literally meaning «tiger forest», is a luxurious and intimate lodge where you can recreate Mowgli's adventures on safaris alongside experienced naturalist guides to ensure a true connection with nature and memorable face-to-face encounters with wildlife. With only 12 bungalows boasting the discreet charm of the 1950s, the lodge guarantees bespoke service, delicious cuisine, thrilling safaris and well-deserved moments of relaxation.
