Rukhad Jungle Camp

This property is in a proper forest, much like the resthouses maintained by Forest departments but even with that kind of location, hosts Zainab and Ketan have managed to maintain a high standard of service. The food, the rooms and amenities are excellent and are among the best in this region. But thats not what you should book this property for. The vibes you feel waking up at Jal Mahal where you have a private lake and then a tigress roams in the forest across the lake. Where all elements of a jungle ecosystem flourish in their raw habitat, and yet you get a 5-star service. I stayed here with my 50+ parents and my mother was not very comfortable with the idea of staying INSIDE a jungle. But at the end, with the conversations she had with our hosts, and the experiences from Machan and the private balcony at Jal Mahal that still flash in our memories, she cant wait to go back!

Staying at Jal Mahal Rukhad Jungle camp was an amazing and a unique experience .It’s a perfect stay for nature lovers completely soaked in nature . Food was amazing. Warm hospitality and the hosts Zainab and Ketan were too good helpful always available gave a personal touch to our trip. Everything was so homely because of the hosts we had. A must have experience. Totally breathtaking

Daldali stay was excellent, a thrilling experience. I think daldali is the only jungle stay in India where you are left alone in the jungle without any network connectivity, almost 7-8 kms from the bison retreat restaurant. As you are alone, you start observing, thinking and learn a lot about animal calling, movements etc. The glass house is unique, you can observe the nearby movements sitting inside the house. The food & services were excellent as usual. Zainab and Ketan spent a good time with us discussing jungle. This was our 2nd visit and we had a good time with both of them. Stay starts with some fear but ends with a lot of courage !!! It's safe, no worries, must visit.

I have been to rukad many times before but this time it was totally different . Right from the reception to the welcoming staff to the person escorting us for safari and our stay everything was perfect and top notch . Rooms: Clean and hygienic and everything properly maintained Food : Delicious food with variety of choices Staff : Disciplined courtageous and always smiling . Special mention for the 2 people we met first time in rukad . They are Ketan aka junglee bhidu and jainab aka zee . The energy and the vibe they had all the time is worth mentioning and to top it up the indept knowledge they possessed of the rukad jungle was something worth listening . Only because of it we decided to take a safari in rukad for the first time and it was a wonderful experience we got to see bajirao the tiger . Needless to say the stay at daldali it's our 2nd time and trust me it's worth staying their . The place is serene Beauty with lush green jungle and a small lake . Suggestion.: Would like that the resort plans of starting a membership for the customers so that we can visit every month once

I took away 2 stars because they are short staffed with respect to escorting guest to rooms. Check-in time was at 2 PM (though I requested early check-in as 2 PM is already too late) but since all the rooms were full, I was told before 2 PM is not possible. But to my surprise the pickup gypsy came beyond 2:30 PM and we got to room at 3 PM making it late by 1 hours. There is only a single gypsy escorting guests for 8 different rooms (I wonder what will happen if all guests show up together). After paying a premium 5 Star price, this is the least of the service I was expecting. Checking in at 3 PM and checkout at 11 AM already leaves us with little time to experience the property. Food is ok and manageable but not so great as per the prices charged. Good part is the property is genuinely located in buffer area with a beautiful view of lake and lush greenery. Rooms are good with all amenities so full stars to property and rooms.

Had been to this place exactly one year back my second visit says it all. Special thanks to our care taker Zee she was very helpful and welcoming. We really appreciate her dedication and hardworking towards her job or rather shall I say passion All the Best. Just a few improvements that I would suggest. 1. The food at Bison had too many spices which were too strong 2. Food should be served hot specially at the machan 3. One emergency landlines is a must just in case. Rest all was great. Looking forward to come again in December 24.
