Amazing rooms! Wonderful hosts! Very friendly and efficient staff! Fantastic food! Pick up and drop offs well organised and very efficient. Wonderful area with great wildlife. Very highly recommended, but check with the lodge first about the situation in the national park as internal politics within the park system has made access and tiger sightings more difficult recently.

We spent 3 days in Junglemantra, and even we have been searching, there is nothing we could criticise. The lodge is just facing the national park, the huts are nice and of an excellent standard, surrounded by nature, close to a pond with a lot of birds, and the dishes were simply of very high quality (you will not be...

Superb lodge, wonderful staff and great hosts! We travelled to Junglemantra from Mumbai for 3 nights in mid December 2012. Shailin and Rhea have done a remarkable job with this place. The lodge overlooks the jungle and my favourite bit is the reception/lounge where we had our breakfast and lunch. The rooms are equally nice and are made largely from... More

Nice place with great hosts! Rhea and Shailin go out of their way to make you feel at home including adding the extra touch for special occasions. Their knowledge of the park only enhances the experience. The property is beautiful with comfortable rooms and absolutely awesome food!

Jungle Mantra is a wonderful place. Rhea and Shailin are the perfect hosts and made us feel very much at home. The cabins are very comfortable and decorated beautifully, with extra special touches such as the gorgeous grasses arranged in a vase on one of the tables and hot water bottles in our beds at night. The food was absolutely... More

We went from New Delhi by overnight train. The car picked us up at Katni station and we could already see some animals on the way to the hotel. When we got to the hotel, we had nice cocktail and Shailin, Rhea, and Shailin's dad all welcomed us warmly. We had all meals together which enabled us to learn interesting... More

1 We went to Bandhavgarh in the worst weather possible with sweltering heat factor and blaze par bearability. However we had one of the Life enriching experiences as the MANTRA of love and care encapsulated us during our stay. 2. Jungle Mantra is not a fly by night operator type of resort. Its not just infrastructure and amenities, but the... More

Our stay with Rhea and Shailin at Junglemantra was undeniably the best part our trip to India, and our two children (9 and 12 years) totally agree with us. Not only excellent sightings of Tiger, Leopard and Sloth Bear, but brilliant food, great hospitality and a congenial atmosphere. We were all really well looked after and made to feel at... More
