The Roaring Salvan County  

In the wild heart of Bandhavgarh National Reserve, near the Dhamokar gate and tucked between the Khitauli and Dhamokar zones in Umaria. The property sits about 18 km from Umaria town center — Jabalpur is the nearest airport and Umaria the closest railway station.

A bold jungle retreat of ten luxury concrete cottages that blend hand-finished walls, wooden doors, granite floors and handmade pottery. Cottages offer modern touches — LCD TVs, tea/coffee makers and cozy beds — plus two shower areas, one open-to-the-sky so you can wake up to jungle mornings. The County is named for the tiger’s roar that’s often heard nearby and weaves local culture into the stay, from décor to nightly bonfires and barbecue events.

Take a dip in the swimming pool, then head out for jungle safaris, guided walks and bird watching. On-site recreation includes billiards, table tennis, foosball, carom, volleyball and badminton, plus a mini library and picnic area. Practical comforts include parking, laundry and transportation services, an elevator/lift and a safe-deposit box.

Dining highlights local flavors with fresh, backyard-grown fruits and vegetables, ancestral cooking techniques and surprising twists on regional dishes. Signature barbecue and bonfire nights make meals part of the jungle experience.
