Kipling Camp
7kms from Khatia Gate in Kanha National Park. Kipling Camp is simply unique.

Its naturally beautiful surroundings have an instantaneous, positive effect on any wildlife visitor.

Robert H. Wright, his wife Anne and their daughter, Belinda, established Kipling for the benefit of their extensive circle of friends from all over the world, and were the first to open their welcoming gates to Kanha’s wildlife tourism in 1989.

Kipling Camp remains to this day totally committed to the welfare of wildlife, tribal communities and to its own conscience towards ecologically sound tourism ethics.

Kipling Camp’s accommodation and areas of general relaxation are these days quite enchanting and very stylish, not forgetting the presence of the friendliest Elephant on earth – Tara.

Achhanakmar Tiger Reserve in Chattisgarh
Sal Valley Resort, established by environmentalist Anurag Shukla, is close to the stunningly beautiful jungles of the newly denoted Achanakmar Tiger Reserve in northern Chattisgarh.

Anurag Shukla has been active for the last 20 odd years in fighting for the protection of this reserve, and the wildlife that it protects.

Sal Valley is easily accessed from Bhoremdeo Jungle Retreat, and Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.

The ancient Amarkantak temples at the source of the Naramada River are well worth a visit during your stay there.

Tiger Walk, Kanha, is just 2kms from the Mukki Gate. Tiger Walk was built around the 1960's by Naval Commodore K.K. Sanjana, and his most gracious wife, Makki. In those days the property was the only one of its kind, and used mainly as a base for hunting parties - that was then, but before and after 1972 the Sanjana family had always been involved in helping both Baiga and Gond villagers with medical assistance. They made available a mobile clinic, complete with dedicated doctors. Later on they established a charitable hospital in Baihar, which was donated to the MP Govt. after Sanjana Saheb's sad demise.

Today K.K. Sanjana's nephew, Jimmy Sanjana of Nagpur, is offering Tiger Walk to special visitors who really do not want to stay in a hotel environment. The property is full of old world charm, and quite comfortable. A good Gond cook and maid are there to look after any guest's needs, while the experienced driver and jeep are always ready to guide wildlifers into Kanha's core. The charge levied for American Plan, (accommodation and all meals) is Rs.6,500/- per person, per night. Park entry fees and vehicle hire
