Drive into Bandhavgarh from a villa of a thousand square feet.
Three nights in the Vindhya hills with a jeep into the park, all three meals and every tax in the price.
Bandhav Vilas has twenty villas on the edge of the reserve, among the Vindhya hills and built around a watercourse. Each runs to about a thousand square feet and each has its own sit-out and deck.
The lodge runs its own jeeps with its own naturalists, so the drive is arranged by the people you are staying with. Our price carries it as well as the bed, with the permit, park entry and guide inside the figure, passed on at what the lodge charges us rather than marked up.

Worth knowing
Good to know
Bandhavgarh closes its AFTERNOON safari every Wednesday, so a three night stay is planned around it.
The lodge books the drive on your photo ID and pays the forest department in full to hold the vehicle, which is why it is settled before you travel. Once booked the department does not refund it or move it to another date. The rate is set by the forest authority and the Gypsy Union and can change at short notice, in which case we tell you before you pay.
Long weekends and the Christmas and New Year period carry a mandatory supplement and the package rate does not apply. We have 24 December to 1 January closed until the lodge gives us the amount.
