Explore a remote Indian forest and admire amazing wildlife while staying in a classic luxury lodge.
Jaagir Lodge is a colonial, safari-themed retreat, situated just outside Dudhwa National Park, a remote and lesser known area off the beaten track. The surrounding ancient forests and sprawling farms make this area a stunning location for a holiday in wild India. Originally built in the 1940's, the main lodge has retained the traditional design of an early 1900's safari camp, which provides guests with both authentic and elegant accommodation.
Jaagir lodge offers a range of accommodation options, including three luxury rooms and four luxury suites in the main building, as well as two thatched-roof brick villas in the grounds which are ideal for families, and four pavilion villas on stilts. The rooms can accommodate up to five people depending on the type of accommodation chosen, and all are spacious, beautifully decorated and custom designed with handmade furniture. The Lodge facilities include a swimming pool, library and activity centre, and the dining room serves up a range of delicious dishes, including local and international fusion cuisine. Private dining can also be arranged, and complimentary butler service is also available.
Dudhwa National Park is home to a diverse range of wildlife including tigers, leopards, elephants, one-horned rhino, gharials (crocodiles) and swamp deer to name but a few. Jaagir Lodge has its own private gate into the park and offers various activities including big cat safaris by jeep, bird watching, boat trips and rhino tracking. Alternatively, you can pay a visit to the villages of the Tharu tribe, who refer to themselves as the ‘people of the forest’ to learn more about their ancient traditions and culture. You can also borrow bikes from the lodge and cycle around local sugar cane farms. Each evening there is a campfire, where guests join together for drinks and canapés and interact with the Naturalists.
