Baghvan comes from two Hindi words Bagh (Tiger) and Van (Forest). This striking and gorgeous lodge lies in Madhya Pradesh, India. The Pench National Forest is home to a handful of Tigers and people travel from far to see these majestic beauties.
The concept behind this lodge is to recreate a bygone era when safaris were the popular pastime of the Indian royalty, the British Raj and the rich and famous. The lodge consists of twelve cottages with an old world charm. The copper and turquoise hues used everywhere make the decor absolutely stunning.
Baghvan seems like a fascinating place and I would love to go there someday..
On a personal note...I have very strong ties to Madhya Pradesh, a state in Central India. My Dad's family is from Madhya Pradesh. I never really got a chance to live there. As an Army kid, I grew up in different places across India. We finally settled in Delhi, and I lived there for many years before moving to the US in 2000. Madhya Pradesh is where my roots are. A post about Baghvan brings back many fond memories. My Grandfather's stories about his childhood, jungle safaris and hunting adventures :-)
