An exclusive luxury wildlife resort Jungle Mantra. Located at
the world renowned Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh-
the heart of Kipling country. This park offers the best possible
chance of tiger sighting, having one of the highest tiger
densities in India.
Jungle Mantra undoubtedly has the best location in Bandhavgarh
for wildlife lovers, birdwatchers and naturalists. Situated in
the valley between the core forest and buffer zones of the
National Park, with extensive private grounds (25 acres), Jungle
Mantra offers an authentic safari experience.
The resort is owned & run by British Asian nature photographer
and wildlife artist Shailin Ramji, who is joined by his wife
Rhea, a TV producer. Compelled by a keen love for the area, its
people and the wildlife, they relocated to India from London and
moved to Bandhavgarh to set up Jungle Mantra.
In order to ensure that the construction of the resort did not
disturb the animal corridors on the site- Shailin camped on the
site to research and plan the areas on which construction should
take place.
In the season Shailin and Rhea are at the resort with their team
to ensure personalised service of the highest standard.
