Kings Lodge - Bandhavgarh National Park

This is a lovely lodge with an ethos of caring for the environment. The staff are wonderful in their attention to your comfort. We had a splendid naturist guide Raju for our safari drives to Bandhavgarh. In the evenings we sat round the fire and shared tales of our animal sightings.
It is a shame that the park Bandhavgarh did not have the same attitude to care of guests as the washrooms there were disgraceful.
Thank you Kings Lodge for a wonderful time.

Stayed in Dec 23. Very nice property with a walking trail, organic vegetable garden and very good service. Prasanta Sarmah and Veer Singh Shekhawat were very helpful and knowledgeable.

The staff is well trained and provide excellent service.

The resort is very well furnished and tastefully constructed.
The room is a bit cramped for three people with an extra bed. Food is great but needed to tell the cook to spice it up a bit as it is by default low spice due to many foreign guests.

A superb five star experience all round, excellent attention to detail in the rooms, service and food. Close to the park and they provided a very knowledgeable nature expert who doubled as the driver and was a with us every safari (each park tour has to be accompanied by an official park guide who is a different person each visit). Will be back for sure

Absolutely phenomenal resort and service.
Rooms are out of the world and the entire facility and food is excellent. The manager Prasanta took great care of us this winter - Dec 2022. He and his staff went above and beyond to ensure all guests were comfortable!!
We sited tigers on one of our safaris! Made our trip super fun.

Absolute delight. Experience was nothing short of any luxury property at foreign destinations. The staff was very well trained, knowledgeable and gave a complete guide of the charms of wilderness and a tiger's lifestyle. The Management was extremely helpful, General Manager himself interacting and answering guest queries. Highly recommended if you are looking for a Luxury property with a complete guided tour of the forest.

Exceptional. Apart from comfortable stay and delicious food, the staff was very courteous.

This place is beautiful and serene , the hospitality is outstanding, they go out of their way to make guests feel at home , king’s lodge follows very responsible policies towards environment.. they actually follow no single use plastic policy ! The manager Mr.Omkar is very forthcoming and helpful. The property is spread in around 20 acres amidst bamboo forest with organic farms and foliage .. experience is surreal 👍🏻

Nice place. A few glitches. Overall worth the money. Polite and efficient staff. Excellent service. Good Indian food. Spicy Italian food! Good tandoori rotis and excellent bread. Chef Shekhawat from Rajasthan made sure the food was excellent.

We went to celebrate my husband's birthday. The hotel is absolutely beautiful with a rustic charm. Every little detail is taken care of which makes it quite luxurious. Would definitely go there again.

King's Lodge was recommended to us by our New Delhi-based Indian travel agency, Nature Safari India, which specializes in wildlife travel in India (but not only).
King's Lodge is surrounded by lush nature. It has no unnecessary luxuries, but is very well maintained in every aspect. The rooms, or rather, the chalets are very spacious and clean. The private outdoor area is also very comfortable. The common areas consist of a spa, indoor dining room, a wonderful outdoor dining area, a swimming pool, a vegetable garden, a butterfly garden, a fantastic reading area, and an outdoor bar. There is also a small store where you can buy souvenirs, even beautiful paintings by a local artist.
All areas are extremely clean and neat, thanks to the careful and meticulous work of all the guys on the staff.
The cuisine (both Indian and non-Indian) is excellent.
But what impressed me most is the professionalism, courtesy, and dedication of all the staff. Any wish was instantly fulfilled always a loving smile.
We stayed the first week of January when during the early mornings and evenings the cold weather could be bothersome. But no problem, the staff will give you all the help to be at your best.
Although January is not the best time to spot tigers, thanks to our guide, mr Sanjay Gupta (ask for him if possible, you won't regret it!), we saw as many as 5 tigers (three males and two females), 2 very close, 2 at medium distance, and 1 at 50 meters. Of these 4 in the core zone and 1 (even) in the buffer zone. Trust Mr. Sanjay Gupta and his valuable advice!
Bandhavgarh is a wonderful park!

Nice property in mid of jungle with fully furnished and food is so good staff was very humble .

The service, stay and the rooms were excellent. The food and the service was excellent. The staff was so helpful and friendly that I felt at home. I travelled with a 3 1/2 year old which is always hard but they made it really easy. The food was really tasty. They had some or the other things planned for the evening to entertain everyone.

The stay befitted royalty . Great food , great service . The small little gestures to keep the guests comfortable . The out door dining area all things stole the heart . The staff was very friendly and flexible . Overall a great experience .

The God of small things! Had a pretty good experience at this place. Be it about the knowledgeable and friendly staff. Those little things they do extra to make you stay very comfortable. The blanket during the safari, the hot packs at night, the documentaries before dinner, the adequately stocked bar and the parting packed lunch. When they do these little things without you asking for it!

The Kings Lodge, Bandhavgarh has 10 well appointed cottages and 8 stilt cottages with en-suite modern bathrooms. The Lodge is spread over a wide expanse of natural forest, wilderness and solitude.

Thankyou Manav for the wonderful hospitality

Wonderful property amidst a bamboo forest. Rooms are great with a Machan like concept with all luxe facilities. Food was awesome and people were kind and happy to help you at any time. A must visit for every one

Excellent value for money. Book directly from their website for the best room rate. Super close to the park and the rooms are very comfortable. Great staff.

Service/hospitality is too good to appreciate through few words, the chef is a great one and the food is just too good and after every meal a unique dessert is served. Rooms are comfortable enough and safaris are well planned. The area of the resort is expansive and some part of it is left untouched(not developed) just so that you can enjoy natural beauty and trekking
