Mahua Kothi

Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge
Mahua Kothi (Taj CC Safari) - Bandhavgarh
[Reservation]  [Add Review]

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, as the vitamins, minerals and sugar-rich flowers are used in a number of ways. The twelve charming suites or Kutiyas (jungle village huts) are newly built in the 40 acre grounds of the renowned tented camp formerly known as Churhat Kothi. The original Kothi (homestead) comprising the guest areas remains and has been extensively renovated, but the guest accommodation is all brand new.

Accommodation :

  • Charming individual Kutiyas built in the vernacular style of Central India

  • Each is accessed through private courtyards with shaded seating, traditional swings and traditional mud floors
