Tathastu Resorts has strengthened its presence in India’s wildlife hospitality space with the launch of ‘Tathastu Satpura’, a new retreat located at Satpura Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh. With this addition, the group now marks its fifth property, joining its existing resorts in Pench, Kanha, Tadoba, and Bandhavgarh.

Set amidst one of Central India’s rich forest landscapes, the retreat is designed to offer a peaceful and close-to-nature stay. The property features 34 Villa Rooms and 5 Exclusive Pool Suites, each planned to give guests a sense of space and privacy. With private verandas and forest-facing views, the stay aims to blend comfort with an immersive wilderness experience. A thoughtful detail includes rooms equipped with two washrooms, allowing guests a more relaxed start before heading out for early morning safaris.

Sharing his thoughts on the destination, Mr Anil Agarwala, Managing Director, Tathastu Resorts, said, “Hidden quietly in the heart of Madhya Pradesh lies a destination that offers something far more peaceful, raw and authentic Satpura. Often overlooked, this forest region is a paradise for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts and travellers seeking calm, away from crowded tourist circuits. At its core is Satpura Tiger Reserve, one of India's most underrated yet rewarding wildlife destinations, known for its rich biodiversity and remarkably tranquil safari experience where visitors can truly listen to the forest. With the launch of Tathastu Satpura, we aim to create a stay that complements the spirit of this landscape, immersive, intimate and deeply connected to the wilderness.”

Dining at the resort is led by ‘Gilhari’, a multi-cuisine restaurant inspired by the Indian Giant Squirrel found in the region, which is also the official mascot of the Satpura Tiger Reserve. The menu brings together Indian and international dishes, offering guests a wide variety of options. The resort also features a bar space designed with earthy tones and wooden elements, reflecting the surrounding forest environment.

Wildlife remains at the heart of the Satpura experience. Guided safaris give guests the chance to spot species such as Tigers, Leopards, Sloth Bears, Indian giant squirrels, sambar deer and several bird species. Known for its relatively untouched terrain, the reserve offers a quieter and more immersive safari experience compared to many other parks.

Beyond safaris, guests can take part in a mix of nature-led and recreational activities, including jungle walks, riverside sundowners, pottery sessions and reflexology walks. The resort also offers indoor options such as a games room, box cricket arena, karaoke evenings and a temperature-controlled indoor swimming pool.

Adding a meaningful touch, Tathastu Satpura has introduced a team of visually impaired spa therapists who provide therapeutic massage experiences as part of the resort’s social initiative.

With this launch, Tathastu Resorts continues to build its presence across India’s leading tiger landscapes. Its growing portfolio reflects a focus on offering travellers a balanced experience of nature, comfort and curated activities.

The addition of Satpura also highlights the rising interest in experiential wildlife travel in India, where more travellers are choosing destinations that offer both adventure and a deeper connection with nature.
