Drive into Kanha from the quiet end, three kilometres from the gate.

Chitvan stands at Samnapur village, 3.65 kilometres from the Mukki gate of Kanha, which is the quiet end of the park. The last stretch of the drive in goes through meadows and across a stream.

The cottages and suites are named for the elements. Jal sits closest to the core, close enough to hear the deer calling. Our price carries a jeep into the park 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.

Twenty cottages and suites at Samnapur village, 3.65 km from the Mukki gate of Kanha, named for the elements: Akash suites with a separate living room and bay windows or a first-floor terrace, Jal suites closest to the core where you can hear the deer calling, Prithvi suites of 900 square feet looking at the Maikal hills, the two-bedroom Mahasagar suite with six private balconies, and single-floor Jal cottages of over 300 square feet with their own outdoor sit-out. There is a multi-cuisine restaurant and a swimming pool. The lodge takes its idea from Vanaprastha, the third stage of life, and uses the lotus as its mark.
