Sterling Holiday Resorts, India's leading leisure hospitality brand, is proud to announce the launch of its second resort in the Pench region, located on the Maharashtra side of the Pench Wildlife Sanctuary. The newly opened Sterling Orient Woods is strategically positioned near both the Khawasa and Khursapar Gates, offering wildlife enthusiasts easy access to the sanctuary.

Spread across 4 acres of secluded wilderness, this resort promises a serene and immersive experience for guests looking to escape into nature. Manicured lawns and flagstone paths surround the property, making it not only a beautiful getaway from the bustling city of Nagpur but also a perfect base to explore the Pench jungle.

The resort features villa-style rooms and luxury tents, each designed to blend seamlessly with the rustic surroundings while providing modern comforts. All accommodations come with private sit-outs, offering guests a space to relax amidst nature, especially during the cool evening hours. Premier rooms also come with additional perks like open-to-sky showers, bathtubs, and a private lawn space, ensuring an elevated experience for visitors.

Dining at Sterling Orient Woods is a unique affair, with the resort's signature restaurant, Sigri, offering an open-format dining experience. Guests can savor popular favorites as well as local delicacies from Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh while enjoying stunning views of the lush surroundings. For those looking for something more exclusive, the Machan, a treetop dining area, provides a perfect setting for private celebrations or intimate dinners, all while overlooking the natural beauty of the region.

For events and gatherings, the resort boasts a 4,500 sq. ft. banquet space and a 20,000 sq. ft. lawn, ideal for hosting small conferences, weddings, and social events. After a morning safari, guests can relax and unwind by taking a dip in the swimming pool or indulging in a soothing treatment at The Spa.
