TRUE CONSERVATIONIST IS A MAN WHO KNOWS THAT THE WORLD IS NOT GIVEN BY HIS FATHER
BUT BORROWED FROM HIS CHILDREN” Audubon
Ever given Madhya pradesh the attention it deserves? Well, it is the home to
some of the best national parks/sanctuaries of the country. The Bandhavgarh
National park being one such park. The jungle is self-sustaining and is a large
forestland covering an area of 437sq km. The main area is in the heart of the
park with tall mountains overlooking it.
Amidst all the greenery and the intoxicating wildlife is situated the Tiger
Den Resort. The tranquil surroundings of the land, of the White Tiger ads more
adventure to the resort.
The resort was masterminded by the professionals from the service industry.
Eighteen elegantly decorated and furnished cottages are a credit to its infrastructure.
The marvelous Vindhyaanchal range is over-looked by the balconies of the cottages.
Every service here is customized according to the need of the visitors taste.
Here the day begins with close encounters of the nature and its creations. You
are woken up with a wake up call just before dawn. A gypsy is stationed in front
of the resort waiting to take you into the wilderness of the jungle, the kingdom
of the Royal Bengal Tiger. Mineral water and fruits are served during the Safari.
After a adventurous jeep safari, to further refresh your body and soul a hot
/cold shower awaits you in the luxurious attached baths. What would you prefer
for your breakfast? Indian, Chinese, Italian and Continental cuisine anything
that you like.
Facilities Provided :
(a) 24 hrs back-up, stand-by generator.
(b) Adaptors for connectivity.
(c) Facility to make STD and ISD calls.
Recreation :
There are also other recreational activities that one can take up during some
spare time, like a drive to the Bandhavgarh Fort, to the Baghel Museum, Nature
Walks, visit to the local school, walk trough the local village where the time
still stands still.
A tinge of wildlife and some history with it definitely adds to variety. And
its time for some good lunch. By now we are sure you are tempted to go back
to the jungle and explore more of its wilderness.
As the evening draws near, the mood sets in. A refreshing drink to energies
your cells, a bon-fire and a bar-be-que to get the heat set in. A look at the
sky, will make you go breathless for a while and you will keep wanting for more.
Those beautiful diamonds shining in the sky remind you of yet another wonderful
day to come by. And as your stay ends in the Tiger Den Resort, your memories
grow fonder by the moments that come.

Comments
from Guests stayed at Tiger's Den Resort Bandhavgarh
I am home again now after my great trip in India with Patrick and Munir and
your organization. I thought it great and enjoyed every minute of it the buildings
and sights of the cities visited were most interesting and I enjoyed the architecture
and all we saw. The country side we traveled through and of course the reserves
that we went to and it is always a delight to me to see the wild animals [ Margaret
@ I saw 7 Tigers road the elephant and got a good bird list too and to be out
of hotels and in the country side.
Thank
you very much for everything and your gifts to each of us when we departed on
our travels from Delhi.

staff.

This
is one of the best wildlife areas I've ever visited. We had marvelous views
of Tiger and many other animals and great birding. I'll never forget the first
morning when we watched two young Tigers for over an hour. I hope to return
soon.

Bandhavgarh
is magic and Sharad is pure good luck! 7 Tigers. Thank You for superb service
and a lifetime of magic experience.
- Robert Bateman
Our
dreams were fulfilled! We saw not one but 5 Tigers. For me the most thrilling
and a memorable one was B-2. What a magnificent creature! Our stay at the Tiger's
Den was all we hoped for.

A
most enjoyable and memorable stay. The courteous and personal attention paid
to us by all the staff has made us feel very much at home. The food was great
and the dining service was excellent. Our room was clean and comfortable, the
surroundings peaceful and quiet, so we slept well. Our visit to Bandhavgarh
has been a true highlight of our month long tour of India - including sighting
of 7 Tigers.
- Dave and Marcia Miller
This
was the highlight of our Indian trip. Mr. Shailendra Tiwari and his wife took
care of us and made our staying here a kind of festival. Everything was in best
order, Tiger's Den is a wonderful resort - and we compare this with our nights
in Palaces and hotels with 5 stars and 4 stars. We felt to be cared by mother.
The park was wonderful and the staff did everything to provide the best for
us. Food and service excellent. We can recommend Tiger's Den warmly and we will,
to all our friends.
- Dr Hilleshiem
I
have never had a stay at a place where the staff was so cheerful and accommodating.

you the best for the future. We have felt like family the way you have treated
us.

Those who are fortunate enough to stay here could not dream of a more rewarding
and relaxing experience. We immediately felt right at home. Excellent hospitality,
delicious food and beautiful atmosphere - all with perfect execution.
- Debbie Jefkin, Chicago, U.S.A. get.the.picture@22juno.com
What a wonderful place to
stay while visiting a truly beautiful and exciting park. The tiger was wonderful,
the birds fun to watch and all the other animals were great - but your people
were the best.
- Christina and Eric Holenda
We came to Bandhavgarh with no idea
about what we would expect - we had only the hope that we might be lucky enough
to see a tiger, even for a second or two! But we leave with a heavy heart.
We have been looked after impeccably. The service is unbeatable, the people
incredibly kind and generous and we never wanted to go. The tigers were truly
magnificent. We can't wait to recommend this to our friends in England and
Australia.
