Kanha National Park, North & Central India, India
Set along the banks of the river in the heart of Kanha National Park, Flame of the Forest Safari Lodge offers an intimate retreat immersed in nature and wildlife experiences. With just four river-facing cottages, each with a private deck, courtyard and machan, the lodge combines rustic charm with thoughtful comforts. Days unfold at an unhurried pace, with expert naturalists leading safaris, nature walks and birdwatching, while the surrounding 20 acres provide a peaceful setting to reconnect with the wilderness.
Beyond the wildlife, the lodge places a strong emphasis on authentic local experiences. Enjoy traditional cuisine prepared with locally sourced ingredients, perhaps served as a private bush meal or leisurely brunch, before returning to the river to unwind. Yoga, meditation and sound healing offer moments of calm between adventures, while the lodge’s reforestation and community initiatives reflect its commitment to protecting the landscape and supporting the people who call it home.
