The balcony of the cottages overlooks the marvelous and gigantic hills of the Vindhyanchal range.
Situated on the fringes of a local village “Tala” the Tiger’s Den Resort offers you a location advantage, which no other resort does – You can walk some distance to view a day in the life of an Indian village, where the pace of life is still measured by the rhythm of the seasons. The humble dwellings, the mud clustered houses, the elders smoking hookahs sitting on a cot, are some of the common scenes which signify that the time stands still in certain areas of the world even today. Yes, you can walk around the place by yourself, visit the local school, interact with the children in the school, and walk with some enthusiastic youngsters.
