As Seen In
Our Story
Rooted in legacy. Sustained by nature. From the early footsteps of Capt. Forsyth in 1862 to a modern lodge built with mud, mahua, and a quiet reverence for the forest- Forsyth Lodge is more than a stay. It’s a philosophy. One shaped by the land, guided by naturalists, and built to give you & your team an experience of true adventure

Experiences for Corporate Retreats
Jungle Safari
Morning or evening drives into the Satpura Tiger Reserve, guided by expert naturalists. Expect shared awe, quiet anticipation, and a fresh sense of perspective. Nothing bonds a team quite like tracking a tiger- or sitting in silence, watching the forest wake up.
Boating Adventures
By Canoe : A safari group size consists of 2-3 people with Naturalist and a Canoe Guide. It is a wonderful opportunity to watch birds and crocodiles in the river By Boat : The boat safari allows to explore creeks of the Denwa and Sonbhadra rivers system
Nature Walk
Take a slower path through the wilderness. These walks are designed for deep observation, quiet conversation, and a reset from the digital noise. At night, it’s a different forest- nocturnal life, unexpected sounds, and a team adventure lit by headlamps and stars.
Bonfire in the Wild
We have multiple spaces across the entire property to celebrate and enjoy the warmth of a bonfire and the feeling of togetherness. Snacks & beverages can be served as needed. Listen to stories from our naturalist about the wonders of Satpura
Creative Ad-ons
Be amidst the trees, with nothing but birdsong and fresh air to keep you company. Indulge in activities like Pottery, Foraging, Gond Art Sessions perfect for team bonding, games, or simply time spent connecting. End with a recap of your journey at the lodge.
Stargazing
Zero light pollution. Infinite wonder. Lay back after dinner and trace constellations with our naturalists. Teams often say this is when real conversations start- when the phones are down, the skies are wide, and the forest is listening.

What leaders say about hosting offsites at Forsyth
Varoon Chandra
AZB & Partners
Forsyth Lodge exceeded every expectation. The stillness of the forest, the immersive wildlife experiences, and the attentive but unobtrusive service created the perfect environment for reflection, strategy, and team alignment. It’s rare to find a space so removed from distraction yet so rich in clarity.
Mihir Lunia
CEO & Founder, Brego Business
In a world of manufactured retreats, Forsyth Lodge offers something rare — real connection. To nature, to self, and to one another. Our team returned not only refreshed but with a renewed sense of purpose. The setting encourages you to slow down, listen more deeply, and see beyond your role. That’s invaluable
Annet Joseph
CEO
Forsyth Lodge offered an extraordinary setting that surpassed all our hopes. Surrounded by the quiet rhythm of the forest, we were able to fully engage with nature while enjoying thoughtful, discreet hospitality. It provided us the opportunity to pause, refocus, and come together as a team with renewed purpose and insight — far from noise, yet full of perspective.
