Amidst the raw, untamed beauty of the Pench National Park buffer zone in Madhya Pradesh lies Haldu Tola, our home, shaded by the ancient and stately Haldu tree (Haldina cordifolia). A tranquil retreat, where Indian tribal heritage, contemporary comforts, and nature's grandeur converge, offers an intimate escape into serenity. Here, unfiltered wilderness greets you at every turn, yet modern convenience is thoughtfully curated to ensure an effortless and rejuvenating stay.
It is a heartfelt homage to nature and the Gond tribal culture, one of India’s oldest and most vibrant indigenous communities.
Inspired by the traditional hamlets—locally called tolas—this architectural masterpiece features eight artfully designed buildings that encircle a lush courtyard bursting with vivid blooms.
Designed with an ecological conscience, the villa operates on solar energy, embraces water conservation practices, and preserves its untamed landscape while maintaining a plastic-free ethos.
Delve into a collection of books and board games while relaxing by our poolside lounge. This inviting space is ideal for quiet reflection or engaging conversations.
For those seeking an active escape, our well-equipped gym is available 24/7.
Our eco-conscious pool is a refreshing retreat, perfect for a midday dip or leisurely sunbathing.
With poolside refreshments and a panoramic view of the surrounding wilderness, it’s a haven of relaxation. Please note, safety measures are in place, and children must always be supervised.
Perched beside a bustling waterhole, our observation platform is a serene space to witness wildlife in their natural habitat. Whether you’re birdwatching at dawn, meditating, or enjoying a refreshing drink at dusk, the machan promises unforgettable moments.
Haldu Tola is our home and has been conceived as both a retreat for travellers and a model of coexistence, encouraging harmony between the local community and the thriving wildlife that calls this region home. Our guests are invited to be a part of this coexisting family.
