Kanha Earth Lodge

Kanha Earth Lodge features 12 luxury bungalows within a natural forest, adjacent to a small tribal hamlet. Committed to sustainability, the lodge is constructed with local materials and recycled wood, occupying only 5% of its 16-acre site. Renowned as one of the top lodges in Kanha, this multi-award-winning property combines excellent accommodations with the expertise of knowledgeable naturalists, creating a winning combination.

Effortlessly stylish and comfortable, the lodge provides a relaxing and homely atmosphere. The bungalows, inspired by local Gond architecture, are spacious and cool, featuring mud plaster walls, tiled floors, high ceilings, and large bathrooms, all equipped with air conditioning. A sizable pool offers a refreshing dip between game drives, while mountain bikes invite exploration of the surrounding tracks and local villages. The cuisine is outstanding, showcasing fresh, organic produce and focusing primarily on local dishes. Evenings can be enjoyed by the firepit, where stories of the day’s wildlife sightings are exchanged. Activities include game drives, visits to local markets, cycling (with mountain bikes for use), craft workshops, and birding walks.

INSIDER TIP

"Explore the local villages on foot or by bicycle during the enchanting “cow dust time” in the early evening, when cows return home from the fields, creating a beautiful, hazy atmosphere."
