An
exclusive luxury wildlife resort Junglemantra.
Located at the world renowned Bandhavgarh National Park,
Madhya Pradesh- the heart of Kipling country. This park offers the
best possible chance of tiger sighting, having one of the highest
tiger densities in India.
Junglemantra
undoubtedly has the best location in Bandhavgarh for wildlife lovers,
birdwatchers and naturalists. Situated in the valley between the core
forest and buffer zones of the National Park, with extensive private
grounds (25 acres), Junglemantra offers an authentic safari
experience.
The resort is owned & run by British Asian nature photographer and
wildlife artist Shailin Ramji, who is joined by his wife Rhea, a TV
producer. Compelled by a keen love for the area, its people and the
wildlife, they relocated to India from London and moved to Bandhavgarh
to set up Junglemantra.
In order to ensure that the construction of the resort did not disturb
the animal corridors on the site- Shailin camped on the site to
research and plan the areas on which construction should take place.
In the season Shailin and Rhea are at the resort with their team to
ensure personalised service of the highest standard.
Junglemantra is
superbly located in 25 acres of mixed mature woodland on the banks of
a perennial lake.
The human impact on the site has been kept to a minimum. This makes
Junglemantra’s lake and grounds a haven for mammals (such as tiger,
leopard, bear, wolf, jackals,sambar, cheetal, barking deer, wild boar,
langurs, foxes, rabbits, hare, mongoose), reptiles (such as
chameleons, monitor lizards) and the over 300 species of birds found
in Bandhavgarh , (such as Paradise flycatcher, serpent eagle,fishing
owl, 3 varieties of Kingfisher, Indian Roller, 4 varieties of
Parakeet, Black Ibis, Wolly necked stork etc are resident). A
checklist of birds complied by guests and staff at Junglemantra boasts
over 95 species of woodland, wetland and garden varieties of birds.
