Your Wildlife Accomodation
India`s finest jungle lodges
The
name Mahua Kothi draws its inspiration from one of India`s most beautiful
trees, the Madhuca Indica, or as it is commonly known, the Mahua or butter
tree. Pronounced `ma-hoo-a`, this tree with its fleshy off`white
flowers plays a central role in festivals and rituals. The Lodge sprawls
over the 40 acre grounds, just 20 minutes from the park entrance. The original
kothi (homestead) comprises the guest areas and has been beautifully renovated,
and the guest accommodation is all brand new. Each of the twelve charming
guest suites- or kutiyas (jungle village huts) - are built in
the vernacular style of Central India, affectionately known as - MP
Chic- (MP being the state of Madhya Pradesh). Each is accessed through
private courtyards with shaded seating and traditional mud floors. Interiors
include wooden shutters, tapered mud coloured walls in lime and earth washes
(finished by hand), open rafters with roughly hewn wooden beams, and handmade
pottery roof tiles. Floors are dressed in katni stone strips set in lime
mortar. Each ensuite bathroom features twin hand basins, indoor shower,
bath and separate w.c. Richly coloured local textiles, used throughout,
are in shades of rust and burnt orange. Each kutiya features roll-down mats
to keep out the early morning sun, as well as overhead fans and air conditioning.
Guests delight in the yoga amenities provided in a basket (complete with
instructions), as well as traditional Indian games of marbles and Chaupad.
Kettles of boiling water on chulhas (charcoal burners) are brought out with
early morning tea to the kutiyas. Bicycles, parked in the kutiya courtyards,
are an invitation to explore. This grand Royal Tiger Safari is a truly memorable and unique introduction to India`s history, culture, wilderness and architecture.
From Mahua Kothi Guest Book
"A familiar CC Africa-style welcome made us feel at home straight away.
Right from the start we were spoiled rotten! A truly delightful group of
people have been chosen to run this lodge, and they clearly take the greatest
pride and pleasure in welcoming guests and making them feel immediately
at home. The chef was outstanding, producing the most delicious food, served
in a variety of lovely locations. This is the perfect combination of style,
simplicity, colour, texture and comfort. And yes, we did see tigers "
six of them! It is a wonderful experience to set off into the jungle on
an Indian elephant in search of the tigers. Our thanks to the entire team
at Mahua Kothi for a delightful few days. We look forward to our second
visit " Ask Our Wildlife Travel Experts To Design Best of Your Wildlife Holidays In INDIA
