Pench National Park, North & Central India, India

This is a shining example of a new breed of luxury tent camp in India that places great emphasis on proximity to nature, while retaining the highest levels of comfort. Your luxury, air-conditioned tent features a king-sized bed, chic ‘ethnic’ décor and en suite bathroom, while the meals are of gourmet standard. But the real joy of staying here is the chance it affords to experience the feel of the forest at night and stargaze under skies with zero light pollution. In addition, the fact you’re on the far, quiet side of the national park means no queues to enter the reserve – and more frequent tiger sightings.
