Shergarh Tented Camp
Kanha Tiger Reserve
Village Bahmni
Post Kareli, Tehsil Baihar
District Balaghat
Madhya Pradesh - 481 111, India


Kanha National Park boasts wonderfully varied topography and vegetation and lies between the Satpura Range and the Maikal Hills, in the heart of Madhya Pradesh in Central India. One of the largest wildlife parks in India, Kanha is home to an enormous variety of animals and birds, and comprises rolling hills together with open meadows, sal and bamboo forest and grassy plateaus.

Declared a national park in 1955, in 1973 it became one of the original nine tiger reserves to come under the auspices of Project Tiger. The conservation of the barasingha (swamp deer) is one of the park’s success stories, with its population having increased seven-fold in the past 40 years.

Shergarh is the creation of naturalist Jehan Bhujwala and English wife Katie, a new and exclusive camp at the southern edge of the park, whose aim is to ensure a personalized and specialized wildlife experience for every guest.
