SATPURA

Explore Our Exclusive Experiences

One of the few naturalist-run lodges in the Country, Forsyth Lodge is not just a Lodge, but the people that make it.

The Lodge is a fulcrum between the guest experiences and conservation through community engagement. The story goes, Forsyth was built by one of India’s eminent naturalists who designed the Satpura tourism model with the forest department to focus on non-motorized experiences.

Dinner Experiences

Evenings at Forsyth Lodge are as memorable as the safaris. Savor thoughtfully crafted meals inspired by local flavors, served in enchanting settings — from candlelit courtyards to starlit dinners in the wilderness. Every meal is an experience, not just a dining table.

Star Gazing Experiences

As night falls, the forest sky transforms into a glittering canvas. Far from city lights, experience the magic of stargazing — where every constellation feels within reach and the silence of the wild makes the stars shine brighter. 

OUR STAYS

As a Leopard seeks respite in the cosiness of his canopy bed, our Gondia cottages and Machaans provide the same comfort and insulation from the Satpura climate, however hot or cold. We do have air-conditioning and heating when you need it. The room is a simple lap of luxury, with small signs of our sustainability efforts peppered all around. We provide you with all the basic amenities and comforts.

Steve - UK

Amazing team amazing place, highly recommended

The place and the team were amazing, The chef is Michelin Star standard. Sanal the naturalist who was aligned to me was great, he went over and above. Loved his knowledge of the biodiversity and wildlife. I was solo traveller so Sanal even sat with me for meals. The team are amazing and very attentive and polite. The rooms are luxurious and you really feel you are immersed in the national park.

Sunil - India

An exceptional experience at Forsyth Lodge in Satpura range.

The rooms are spacious and well appointed, with very comfortable beds! Cottages are built for privacy, in the natural habitat. The food was tasty and we had multiple delicious meals - both Indian and Continental.

Belén de Dios M

Fantastic and authentic

The lodge takes care of all the details, from cold drinks at entrance every time we come back from the safaris, to special dinners every night watching documentaries, tradicional food and pottery sessions at lunch time, it made everything feels very authentic, respectful and enjoyable. The ecologists and the nature specialist were very good, insightful in their search inside the jungle and helpful before, during and after the safaris

FAQ's

Have a question? We have you covered.

  • We adhere to the responsible eco-tourism guideline of using about 10% of land for construction and allowing the balance to revert to wilderness. We also use live fencing around the property i.e. no barbed wire for better wildlife safety. It’s certainly pretty good as we have had bears (right outside the main building) and leopard pugmarks in the property. We have resident wild boars on the lodge grounds along with rusty spotted cats, jungle cats, spotted deer, Indian hare (Rufous tailed), monitor lizards, jackals and palm civets.

  • Yes, it is safe to walk on the pathways but its better to be accompanied by any of the staff for a walk in the wilder part of the property. In the night you should always carry a torch, so you do not step on anything unknowingly, this is also the best way to avoid getting bitten by snakes or Scorpions. Animals to venture within the property but they are all extremely shy and usually will stay away from us. We also avoid serving any food in the cottages to avoid mice and their reptilian predators.

  • No, except for Langurs which do jump on the cottage roofs and trees nearby, the other animals stay a safe distance away from us as they are more scared of us than we are of them

  • Yes, during the winter months we do provide campfires in outdoor sitting areas, but they must be monitored and managed so that the fire doesn’t spread to the surrounding grassland or forest even by accident.

  • Yes, all the safaris are child-friendly. However, since we often have to sit still and be very quiet for long periods of time, it’s not fair to expect little kids to do that. For your children you can also explore our Junior Rangers Programme.

  • Yes, we do accept credit card payments at the property.
