Kanha Earth Lodge
Kanha Earth Lodge, a wildlife resort in Kanha, is spread in 16 acres of natural forest & is tucked away in a small tribal hamlet bordering Kanha Tiger Reserve. Its unique location, ensures that it is close enough for an easy access to the park, but still far enough from the busy tourism hub of Kanha National Park to offer its guests a true wilderness experience.
It is built in less than 10% of the 16 acres of natural forest that houses it. The lodge and its furniture is constructed and designed using local material, waste and recycled wood, a true reflection of impeccable standards in green architecture. The absence of neighbouring lodges or thoroughfare creates an ideal setting for a peaceful and reflective time of relaxation and rejuvenation while enjoying India’s premier tiger reserve.
