We chose to take a break at Bagh Villas. We stayed at the tent and had a memorable stay for 3 days.

The property is very nice, rooms were cleaned quite often almost after every time we stepped out, food was excellent in terms of quality, quantity, variety and taste. Hospitality is what stands out at Bagh Villas and it is across all the staff. They really made us special. Where it really stood out was the passion for the wildlife, enjoying the nature, engaging with the guests and attention to detail. Both Akhilesh and Lia were wonderful hosts and left no stone unturned to make it a great stay.

The highlight was the safari at Kanha and the naturalist who accompanied us from Bagh Villas (Srikant) had a wonderful knowledge of the flora and fauna and made the trip memorable. We were also fortunate to have a close encounter with Tiger.

Every time we came back from outside, we were welcomed with a refreshing drink and towel.

We also did multiple cycling trips, walking on nature trails, spending time in the pool and star gazing in the night. We played Monopoly and there are other amenities to pass time.

We were picked up and dropped back at the airport. Food was packed on way out - it was a total package.

We had a great time at Bagh Villas and staying there and visiting Kanha National Park provided us cherishable memories. At this time of COVID, they also took good precautions and made us feel safe.

We went on a 2 week trip visiting the top national parks in India. Bagh Villas hands down was our favourite stay! The location was great, not too far from the park entrance, and in a nice quiet location. The food was amazing, all fresh, hot, and using a lot of local garden ingredients. The tents were incredible, the shower was amazing after the dusty jeep rides. The view is just incredible, and no mosquitoes by the lake. The hospitality was 6 out of 5 stars. Staff was all amazing, as were the guides. We hope to come back for a longer stay next time. Highly recommend!

Bagh Villas was a revelation! Sometimes you feel like places look good on the internet and seem to work in theory but there's always a few niggles along the way - none of that here; it was seamless in terms of logistics (a shout-out here to Akhilesh Nair, who runs it and is an oasis of competence, efficiency and good cheer) and perfect in every way once we got there. The property itself is beautiful and gives you a real sense of being in the lap of nature - it is important that a property as luxurious as this one can still allow you to feel so immersed. One can spot hundreds of birds on the property; our walk to dinner and back usually involved stopping to watch fireflies; the pool is utterly gorgeous and you can stop between laps just to watch trees and birds and take it all in. The food was made with care and always fresh and wonderful (a nod here to Lia, who makes it all work without a slip). The naturalists are passionate and interesting people (high-give to Panish Bharadwaj who led us to our first male tiger sighting, a black-shouldered kite and so much more). The housekeeping team are like ninjas - our tent was always perfect and rearranged every time we stepped out to lunch, dinner or safari and yet we never once saw them go in and out once! As if all this wasn't perfect enough, there are two Rajapalayam hounds we got to meet as well! We stayed for 4 nights and wished we could stay longer - so we've promised ourselves that we will be back for atleast a week next year.
