Pugdundee Safaris - Kanha Earth Lodge

The planning of our trip began with Ms. Ruchika, who has always been our go-to person for booking stays and safaris across Pugdundee properties. She takes special care of every detail, ensuring that all our travel needs are met seamlessly. Her commitment to delivering top-class customer service is truly remarkable, making the booking process hassle-free and pleasant every time. Kanha Earth Lodge (By Pugdundee) is a hidden gem that truly feels like a home away from home. This was our second visit, and it was just as memorable as the first. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a warm welcome by the manager, Mr. Harpreet Singh. His genuine smile and hospitality set the tone for our stay, making us feel comfortable and cared for right from the start. His attention to detail is unmatched – he goes out of his way to ensure that every little need is met. An example that touched us was when my daughter requested hair oil, and Mr. Harpreet went the extra mile to source it from a nearby village (as it was not easily available), surprising us that very evening. It's this kind of thoughtful gesture that sets Pugdundee apart. The safaris were meticulously planned without any hiccups, giving us the chance to witness some breathtaking wildlife sightings. We were fortunate to have Suraj as our naturalist and driver – his tactical and calculative approach, combined with his curiosity and alertness, made the safaris exceptional. Thanks to his expertise, we spotted almost four tigers in the four safaris we went on! His deep knowledge of the flora and fauna and his keen eye for tracking wildlife added immense value to our experience. In addition to the safaris, Mr. Harpreet arranged evening nature walks, which were enriched with captivating wildlife stories that added a special touch to our experience. These walks were not just informative but also deeply immersive, connecting us with the serene beauty of Kanha. The food at Pugdundee deserves special mention. Every meal was delicious, crafted with care, and bursting with flavors. One day, after a safari, the kids craved Maggi – even though it wasn't on the menu, the team graciously made it for them, showing once again how they go above and beyond to make guests happy. It's these little surprises that make the experience truly special. We were there on New Year's Eve, and the celebrations were unforgettable. Mr. Harpreet organized a mesmerizing Adivasi dance followed by a local village themed dinner that was simply out of this world. The cultural touch added so much to the evening, making it a night to remember. A special mention to the entire staff at Pugdundee – they were incredibly humble, approachable, and always willing to help. Their extensive knowledge about the local flora and fauna made every interaction meaningful and enriching. They truly represent the essence of hospitality, making guests feel welcomed and valued. Kanha Earth Lodge isn’t just about luxurious stays and stunning safari

I cannot praise Kanha Earth Lodge highly enough. Excellence in all areas, particularly the brilliant staff team who ensured we had a great time. Particularly I would give a big thumbs up to the food. Our safari's too were a joy, with our knowledgeable guide.

Let me start with the positves - The whole staff is amazing , courtious / polite & i can go on & on . The stay is very comfortable . the rooms are very nice spacious & luxurious . The whole experience on the whole is a happy one . The Manger Harpreet sing is a way too nice a *** . The things to improve - Water gets cold very fast while taking bath , bcoz i think the hot water systems are very small . Amenities for children play are way too less .... The pool as this is winter also shold have Hot water system if they can install . The food is very fresh , but the variety they serve is very limited & since its fresh to the core they cannot arrange different food items very fast . In all if they cold improve what i recomnded this would be top noth place for a get away & but for sure the safari' to see in the jungle.
