Resort & hotel booking assistance — near every tiger reserve.
We are an independent travel agency. We help you compare and reserve jungle lodges, hotels and MP Tourism properties near India's tiger reserves, and coordinate permits and transfers for the same dates.
What our service includes
- Private jungle resorts and lodges — stays near Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench, Satpura, Panna, Tadoba, Ranthambore and Jim Corbett.
- MP Tourism (MPSTDC) properties — booking assistance for state-run hotels and resorts. These can also be booked directly by you at mpstdc.com.
- Budget and mid-range hotels — for families and group travellers.
- Safari permit coordination — booked in the guest's own name on the relevant forest department portal, matched to your check-in date.
How we work — and what it costs
- You send us dates, destination and group size. No payment at this stage.
- Before any payment is requested, we send a written quote stating the total amount payable. Our cancellation and refund policy applies to all bookings and is available on our Terms page.
- You pay only after you accept that written quote.
- We send a written confirmation with the property or permit reference, gate details and the applicable cancellation policy.
- Any booking on this site can also be made directly by you with the property or the forest department. Our fee is for the coordination, not for privileged access.

Yes, always. MP Tourism properties can be booked directly at mpstdc.com and safari permits directly on the respective forest department portals. Our service is optional paid assistance for travellers who want one point of contact for permits, vehicles and stays.
