Bandhav Kothi

We stayed at Bandhav Kothi in Jan 2024. It was a wonderful experience. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. The staff is courteous and the service is also good. We particularly enjoyed the food - not too spicy but tasty.
It's a 2 mins drive from the Tala gate of Bandhavgadh so very convenient.
For our safaris, we were accompanied by Ashok Shuklaji who is an expert driver and guide. He knows the terrain well and took all efforts to help us spot the tigers. He has a strong recommendation from me.

Beautiful ambience and tasty fresh food everyday. Menu was never repeated. Service was nice. Hardworking staff! Keep it going and best wishes to the team!

Loved every minute of my stay at Bandhav Kothi. Rooms are so big and spacious that you will feel like you are in a 1-BHK flat minus kitchen. Very well-maintained property, very well-behaved staff. And food was just super delicious. Everything they cooked was just mouth-watering. Would love to visit again.

Time of Visit: Mar 2023

This was one of the most relaxing hotels I've ever stayed at! The proximity to the national park is so great - what a haven for wildlife photographers! The experience was incredible in every aspect: the food, room, and service. The variety of foods was extensive and everything we ate was delicious. The room was incredibly kept, decorated nicely, and the beds were comfy. Every request we made was accommodated quickly and excellently. The service continued well into the night. They even got us tea at 2:30 AM before we left for the airport for our early morning flight. I can't wait to return.

We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous property. The rooms are huge and clean. Bed is super comfortable, staff is very prompt and helpful. The food was exceptional on all days.
Definitely recommend this place and will visit again.

We stayed there for 3nights. The hospitality at this resort is mind blowing. The caring nature of the staff and delicious food will bowl you over. The rooms are extremely clean with ample sunlight in the balcony. Nights were colder so there would a central bonfire too . The owner, Mr.Kasim was very friendly and an amazing photographer, which is evident from the frames in every room. He has a deep understanding of the forest and tigers.

The proximity to the ticket counter is a cherry on top, as it's hardly 200m to the ticket counter. All in all its a MUST VISIT!!

Excellent stay. Truly it deserves a 5 star. From food to hospitality to service to safari arrangements to logistics…. everything is picture perfect. Mr. kasim, who is the owner of this property is a person who takes care everything personally. And it’s worth to have a discussion with him about wildlife, nature and so on …
Thanks Bandhavkothi for the wonderful stay. Will come again definitely as this is the closest from Tala ticket counter and best place to stay in Bandhavgarh

The first word that comes to my mind after staying at this place is "WOW". Stayed here for 4 nights with an all included package. Rooms are very big with separate sitting area. Not a single fault to point at. This place is a paradise for people who love bird photography as every evening you'll get many birds there. Friendly and very helpful staff. And food was way more than awesome.

Had a great experience of stay. Food was very good. Owner Kasim is very cooperative. Safaris were arranged smoothly. Manager Pushpendra is very efficient. Chef made some excellent delicacies. Wonderful stay overall

Neat little boutique hotel, bang in the centre of Tala, and adjoining the three park entry gates. The owner/manager is a photo enthusiast too, so he's well versed in the specific 'needs' of wild life shooters. decent tasty meals, excellent rooms, the works!

Bandhav Kothi is a new resort very close to Tala gate. It has got big spacious rooms and beautiful balconies.

The food offered was hot and delectable. The staff behaviour was also very warm and welcoming.

10/10 recommended.

I stayed at Bandhav Koti for two nights with my family and had a very nice experience. The owner of the hotel is always there to help you apart from the staff who were very caring. The food was delicious, the rooms were spacious with balcony in every room overlooking the jungle.The location of the hotel is excellent. I highly recommend every persons going from Kolkata to stay in this hotel.

Excellent service and nice stay .. we were there for 3 nights 4 days & really enjoyed ! Yummy meals & very helpful and friendly staff - specially Mr Pushpinder Singhji - the owner Mr Kasim is also a lovely and warm person and a great photographer- thank you for a wonderful time !

Excellent stay, food, hospitality overall nice experience.

Place is so good and staff is very polite and friendly. Rooms are spacious with additional sit out area in each room. We feel the nature peace here.
Overall amazing place to stay.

We had recently stayed at Bandhav kothi on our trip to Bandhavgarh Tiger reserve nd we absolutely loved the stay. It is a beautiful property adjoining the national park very close to the Tala gate. It has only 8 rooms spread over 2 blocks, 4 in each, 2 on the ground floor and 2 on the first floor. The rooms are very spacious and well designed, with a huge balcony . There is enough green space in the property and this attracts plenty of birds. There is also a machaan to get those eye level bird photos. The service is excellent and the food is amazing. Special mention to chef Durbari Yadav, and all the other staff who took very good care of us, and the owner Mr. Kasim, for being a wonderful host.

Mr kasim owner is a great guy who gives great suggesstion of safaris and makes u feel very warm and confortable .location is apt next to tala ticket centre .food is homely if package and ala cart is also great .
Very well maintianed resort .thanks to team bandhav kothi

Amazing stay at Bandhav Kothi. I recently booked a room for my parents with Bandhav Kothi & Kasim sir & his team made it amazing. The property was clean & rooms were spacious. The food was yum & specially the "Butter Chicken".

The best places to stay for a wildlife photographer and family. Mr kasim takes personal attention of every detail and need and himself being a wonderful wildlife photographer helps a lot to enjoy Bandawgardh with his expertise. I will always stay again and again there.

Bandhav kothi is one of the best properties to stay in Bandavgarh. I was directed to it by someone and was hesitant to change my accommodation but decided to give it a try as I had heard good reviews about it. And it all was true. It’s a spectacular property with huge rooms with a balcony. The location was ideal as it is right besides the main entry gate. The food was good and was served hot. The owner ‘Kasim’ went all out to give us the right experience and never said no for anything that we asked for.
Our friends requested for some medication to which he promptly sent someone to get it. Heaters were provided on demand as there was a sudden drop in temperature on one night. Even hot water bags were arranged. Service was top class and prompt as well.
Would highly recommend staying at Bandav Kothi.
Cheers!
