The Kanha Village Eco Resort is set in the quiet village of Boda Chhapri, close to the Khatia Kisli gate of the Kanha National Park. This laidback and down-to-earth safari lodge offers comfortable wildlife and rural activities focused stay that is also sustainably run. 

The resort offers well-appointed rooms in cottages built mostly of mud, clay and straw. Many of the rooms have large wall murals or local wildlife and vegetation. Some of the premium rooms have open-to-sky or indoor splash pools. The resort also has a swimming pool. However, let not the pools put you off as the resort practices water recycling methods. Bath water is filtered and used for watering plants and other utility purposes, while the filtration plant in the swimming pool ensures water does not have to be changed for weeks together. 

As expected of a resort near Kanha national park, safaris are easily organised. However, the resort also organises non-safari activities like yoga and meditation, bird watching trips, jungle walks, cycling trips, tribal village visits and cooking demonstrations by local women to ensure travellers get to reduce the pressure on the national park and also to expose travellers to local culture.

Price: Rs 6,000 (includes breakfast, lunch and dinner; does not include GST) for double occupancy.
