BAGHVAN  PENCH NATIONAL PARK A Luxury Safari Lodge – 3 days / 2 nights

This national park received international recognition from Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale, the Jungle Book. The park’s open habitat not only lends well to wildlife viewing, but also offers striking views of the area’s sheer beauty.

Baghvan is aptly named after one of India’s iconic symbols, the Bengal tiger. This enchanting lodge is located on the edge of Pench National Park, a dry deciduous forest of predominantly teak trees and meandering jungle streams. A mere five-minute drive to the park’s entrance takes guests deep into the heart of the Indian jungle. Breakfasts and lunches are served on a sweeping shaded deck surrounding the beautiful swimming pool and overlooking the nullah, a favoured route of the Pench tigers. Sunset is celebrated with cocktails under a huge Banyan tree whilst watching a giant flying squirrel perform breathtaking aerobatics.

The 12 charming stand alone suites have a contemporary bungalow feel with a cheeky 50’s ambience, with contrasting hues of copper and pale turquoise. Stairs lead guests up to a machan (a covered rooftop platform) which is perfect for romantic sleep outs.

One of Central India’s lesser known reserves, Pench National Park is situated in the Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh.

Dominated by hills, forests and valleys, this national park derives its name from the Pench River, which meanders its way through the entire stretch of the 760 km² park. A typical Central Indian teak jungle, Pench supports a rich variety of wildlife, including the tiger, leopard, wild dog, gaur, sambar, chital and brilliant birdlife.

Situated in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh National Park is a 450 km² renowned tiger reserve.

The dramatic landscape features tropical forests and woodlands, and steep rocky hills with flat grasslands in the valleys below. An ancient 2000 year old fort, 10th-century statue of Lord Vishnu, and the dense Sal jungle combined with the grasslands make Bandhavgarh one of the most extraordinary parks in India.

The density of its tiger population has made Bandhavgarh world famous.

360° LETI A Himalayan Retreat – 4 days / 3 nights

A place far removed from the noise and clutter of the modern world, where space, peace and epic landscapes provoke the imagination and nourish the soul.

Set in a stunning mountain wilderness at 2200 metres, 360° Leti is where you can take time to reflect, and allow the space, peace and astonishingly beautiful landscape to work their magic around you.

With only four private guest cottages and a main lounge-dining area, 360° Leti provides an exclusive mountain experience – the first and only place of its kind in the Himalayas. Indoors, there’s gourmet cooking and fine wine, as well as beds adorned with pashmina blankets and fluffy duvets. Outdoors, there are mountain walks with private guides, delicious picnics, fabulous views, just chilling out in planter’s chairs – and, if you wish, yoga and meditation sessions.

As the sun rises higher, the achingly pure light casts sharply defined shadows. Eagles soar and swoop on the rising thermals. There’s no sound, other than the breeze and an occasional snatch of birdsong.

Mesmerised by the beauty, you may simply sit and stare. Or you might pack fishing gear and a picnic lunch and hike down to the river at the base of the valley. In the evening you gather around the lodge fireplace, before an astonishingly delicious dinner, served by candle light. Outside, the sky is an arc of black velvet, the stars diamond-bright. Tonight you sleep better than you can ever remember sleeping.
