About Banjaar Tola

Taj Safaris' third jungle safari lodge will be situated along the banks of the Banjaar River, directly overlooking the heart of Kanha National Park. The luxurious, yet lightweight, ensuite tents have been designed in a contemporary style with pressed bamboo wall panels, gorgeous bamboo floors, and locally crafted furniture hewn from the timber of exotic Indian trees. The textiles have been designed in tones of delicate saffron and acid-washed green, with rich block-printed Madhya Pradesh cottons and silks. The atmosphere is light, ethereal and organic.

The Lodge will boast 2 elegant camps of 9 suites, each with its own intimate tented sitting area. The Lodge will have its own unique identity, celebrating the Bastar and Dogra art hailed from nearby Chattisgarh.
