Drive into Bandhavgarh, and eat inside a wall of bottles.
Three nights at Ranchha village with a jeep into the park, all three meals and every tax in the price.
Tigergarh has eleven rooms at Ranchha village on the edge of Bandhavgarh. Six are air-conditioned cottages with four-poster beds and their own sit-outs. Five are twin-bedded deluxe rooms.
The restaurant is called The Waterhole and its walls are re-used bottles and worn-out tyres. Our price carries a jeep into the park as well as the bed, with the permit, park entry and guide inside the figure, and the drive is 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.
