Syna Tiger Resort Bandhavgarh - Tala (Madhya Pradesh)

5-star luxury wildlife resort on 33 hectares next to Bandhavgarh National Park Tala gate

Accommodation

Syna Tiger Resort Bandhavgarh has 20 luxury wildlife cottages, each themed after the cultural history of a different Indian state. The Rajasthan-themed cottage includes traditional decor and a private sit-out, while other states such as Kerala, Karnataka, and Gujarat are represented with distinct architectural details. Several cottages offer open-to-sky bathrooms and a hamam for post-safari relaxation.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients, and the chef customizes meals for dietary preferences, including Jain and vegan options. Guests can book a bush dining experience where food is cooked fresh outdoors under the stars. For early morning safaris, the resort provides packed breakfasts with warm food and hot tea.

Wildlife & Activities

The resort sits less than 15 m from the Tala core zone entrance, giving guests quick access to game drives. Night safaris offer rare opportunities to see nocturnal wildlife, and the on-staff naturalist Bhuri Singh leads guided trips with deep knowledge of the forest and animal behavior. Bicycle rental is available for exploring the 33 hectare property, which includes a medicinal plant garden and a Navagraha garden.

Recreation & Wellness

The resort has two outdoor swimming pools, a separate kids' pool, and a fitness center with modern equipment. Spa services include in-room massages arranged through local providers, and the property also offers a billiards table and carrom board for indoor recreation. A terrace and garden areas provide space for relaxation after safaris.
