Staying high up on a lush green tree surrounded by the forest all around is surely the best way to experience the wild, with the chorus performances of the jackals, an occasional growl of the tiger, the call of the peacocks, the singing of birds and the rustling of the leaves being the only sounds to break the silence! Experience this feeling of being completely immersed in nature at the Treehouse Hideaway in the jungles of Bandhavgarh.
Tree House Hideaway is a set of 5 exclusive tree houses spread over 21 acres merging into the jungles of Bandhavgarh National Park. All tree houses are completely self-contained and have been made with local craft knowledge and expertise to ensure that they blend harmoniously with nature. The interiors are done in a fusion of traditional jungle living and contemporary design.
The Tree House Hideaway, borders the Bandhavgarh National Park and is a secret part of a small hamlet that combines a cluster of families engaged in a diminishing small-scale agriculture and an increasing number of hotels and resorts.
The resort exists in the twilight zone between forest and human settlement; it is well and truly hidden and occupies a large plot of 21 acres. The hideaway is very green, in the understated manner of greenery in Madhya Pradesh — not the shining emerald and wet abundance of the tropics or the colourful riotousness of the wooded hills, but a sparse collection of trees and some grassy undergrowth on an essentially brown dry landscape.
There are two lives possible at the Tree House — the one in the snug warmth within the resort, and the other in the tiger-infested wild. Choosing the first, you can spend your time unseen and undisturbed in the intimacy of your room.
The rooms are big and the wall to the balcony is made of sliding doors; opened, it makes a large platform where, even if you stay put all day long, you will never feel hemmed in. The tree houses are far apart and do not infringe on each other’s space and there is nothing else in the vicinity to bother you. For a breather, you could take a walk in the grounds or outside in the village.
There is a waterhole within the property — next to it you feel you are deep inside a jungle — take a book or a board game and sit under the bamboo clusters (in fact, they plan to put a machan here). If you are lucky, a deer might come drinking water and spot you.
