Pugdundee Safari- Denwa Backwater Escape

We, three friends, sought an escape from city chaos and discovered a hidden gem amidst the lush Satpura jungle in Madhya Pradesh. Our forest stay was an enchanting blend of rustic charm and luxury, surpassing our expectations. As we entered the resort, we received a warm welcome ***** with a refreshing drink and the soft chirping of birds enveloped us. The rustic, earthy tones of the cottages seamlessly blended into the surrounding foliage, creating an immersive jungle experience. Our cottage, crafted from natural materials, offered stunning views of the forest and denva backwaters. Spacious, elegantly furnished, and equipped with modern amenities, it was the perfect retreat. Savoring local flavors, we indulged in delicious, farm-to-table cuisine, expertly prepared by the in-house chef. From traditional local dishes to international fare, every meal was a delight. 1. Guided jungle treks: Expert naturalists led us through the dense forest, revealing hidden waterfalls and exotic wildlife. 2. Birdwatching boat safari: We spotted rare species of birds, crocodiles and sambar deer .And the resort's birding guide enhanced our experience. 3. Candle light dinner- on the occasion of my birthday the staff surprised us with a candle light dinner setup and truly amazing in house baked cake. Our Denva backwater escape forest stay was a symphony of nature, luxury, and friendship. If you seek an immersive jungle experience with rustic elegance, look no further Perfect for nature lovers, couples, and friends seeking a tranquil getaway. We'll cherish the memories of our Satpura sojourn and eagerly recommend this enchanting forest retreat to anyone seeking an unparalleled jungle experience.

The hospitality, level of staff engagement ***** with quaint rooms overlooking the backwaters make for a perfect getaway. Each and every person in the property will do everything in their power to make you comfortable. Don’t miss this one!

Nestled in the green jungle of Satpura. Top notch hospitality, Spacious rooms, good food, Eco-friendly, beautiful property open from the three sides to the jungle, would visit again. Stayed in a Tree House that comes with a great view facing the lake, greeted by a deer and a long tailed monkey right below our outdoor patio. Nights are quiet and cozy. 10/10 recommended.

this was my first trip to India, and the first place i stayed. they staff was great from when i got dropped off to the details in the room and meals all was exceptional, the rooms are big and made you feel comfortable right from the arrival, the game drives and park is a different world, taking a boat across the river from the start makes it an special experience. i did 4 drives and a full day to the other side the full day was differnt and fun, but would fully be for certain ppl as still have to be out of park for the 4 hour break in middle, the drive back turned out to be epic and amazing, as the tigers mom and 3 sub adult cubs are pretty much in the ditch and not moving so we waited with a forestry truck, they called in and said we are not making it back in time for closure, and waited longer, turned dark so got some photos pf tigers in the head lights, foresty called for a boat to pick us up down river and take us home, so did a 40 minute night drive in the core which is not aloud and a 30 minute full moon ride up the river, so a one off experience to just make things that much more amazing, total wildlife for the trip beside never going longer then 30 minutes into a drive before finding something amazing, TIgers 6, Sloth Bears 2, Spotted deer Sambar deer, Bulebull , Indian roller, Crested serpent eagle, scoops owls,Indian Giant squirrel, Leopard 1 cant say enough other then i will be back

Right from the enquiry to booking and the stay for 3 mights was a fantastic experience. Located very close to the main gate of the reserve. The setting of the lodge is amazing. The hospitality extended during the stay and the food was outstanding. The team running the place does a terrific job

Our group of 17 loved our stay. every aspect of accommodation was well catered for. Our safety was an important consideration. A guide with a torch was always available to make sure that we were safe, we did not even have to ask for this service! The catering staff provided a range of new food experiences with a daily menu on display. The garden was beautiful, and it was pleasing to see an extensive vegetable garden that produced food for the restaurant. We will forever remember our very special experience, made all the more special with such an attentive and pleasant staff.
