Mahua Kothi, A Taj Safari - Bandhavgarh National Park

Verified

Luxury Resort

Hotel Description

Mahua Kothi is a Taj Safari lodge located close to the Tala gate of Bandhavgarh National Park, the zone known for the highest tiger sighting record in the reserve. Spread across 45 acres, the property keeps only about 5 acres for guest cottages and dining spaces, leaving the rest of the land wild and untouched, so guests feel like they are staying inside a real forest rather than a resort.

The lodge has just 12 luxury mud cottages, called kutiyas, built using natural material and designed around the existing trees on the property instead of clearing them. Each cottage opens into a private courtyard for added privacy and quiet.

Mahua Kothi is known for its in house wildlife naturalist team, who bring years of ground experience tracking tigers in Bandhavgarh and add real depth to every safari. The lodge is a nature retreat first, built for travelers who want closeness to the wild along with comfort and personal service.

Alkof Holidays has personally visited Mahua Kothi and works directly with Taj Safaris to plan stays here.

Hotel Facilities

Mahua Kothi offers thoughtfully curated facilities that enhance your safari experience without taking away from the natural surroundings. Guests can relax in the outdoor swimming pool after a game drive, enjoy freshly prepared regional and international cuisine at the in-house restaurant, and stay connected with complimentary WiFi. Free parking is available for those arriving by road, while the lodge also arranges guided safari experiences with experienced naturalists into Bandhavgarh National Park. Every facility is designed to provide comfort while preserving the peaceful atmosphere of this luxury forest lodge, making Mahua Kothi an ideal choice for travelers seeking an authentic wildlife holiday in Central India.
