Taj Mahua Kothi

Safari and Wildlife Lodge
Bandhavgarh National Park, India

Taj Mahua Kothi close to Bandhavgarh National Park is a beautiful tented camp with impeccable service and expert naturalists.

Why we like Taj Mahua Kothi

The entire team have incredible knowledge and enthusiasm. They make the game drives memorable. The head chef ensures the dining experience is one not to be forgotten. Your personal butler will ensure your wish is his command.

Facilities

The 12 charming suites or Kutiyas (jungle village huts) at Mahua Kothi are built in the 40-acres. Each of the 12 suites is accessed through private courtyards with shaded seating and traditional mud floors. Each en suite bathroom features twin hand basins, indoor shower, bath and separate toilet. Each kutiya features roll-down mats to keep out the early morning sun, as well as overhead fans and air conditioning. Kettles of boiling water on chulhas (charcoal burners) are brought out with early morning tea to the kutiyas. Bicycles are an invitation to explore.
