Where Wilderness Meets Unhurried Comfort

The Garud Forest, Tadoba

~4 km from Navegaon Gate

Set just beyond the buffer zone, our resort in Tadoba gives you space to experience the forest at your own pace. Return from the wild and let the pace of the day ease naturally. Linger over a meal beneath the high wooden roof of the restaurant, where changing light brings the landscape into view, or spend an afternoon enjoying an Ayurvedic treatment at the spa.

Our retreat has 22 rooms, each designed to make the most of Tadoba’s quiet setting. For families travelling together, the private courtyard with 6 luxury rooms offers extra space to come together, share unhurried moments, and make the most of their time in Tadoba.
