Reni Pani Jungle Lodge, Satpura National Park

On the edge of the Satpura Tiger Reserve, rugged hills, a seasonal stream, patches of agricultural land, teak and reni trees characterise the setting of Reni Pani Jungle Lodge. Owned and managed by members of the erstwhile Bhopal royal family, the lodge, spread among 12 hectares of wilderness, features 12 spacious independent cottages built using materials locally available in the region and tastefully furnished in ethnic style. The cottages, dotted around, are either set along the stream or in the woods across the stream or on the highest point of the rugged hillock and offer spectacular views of either the stream or the forests. Facilities at this lodge include a dining area, bar, outdoor pool and library.
