Pugmark Stays · Bandhavgarh
Four Rooms. Total Privacy.
Personal, Five-Star Service.
A private forest retreat designed around quiet, thoughtful hospitality and unforgettable Bandhavgarh safaris.
A quieter way to stay
A four-room retreat, made for privacy
Most lodges around Bandhavgarh are built for numbers. Pugmark Stays is built for the opposite. With just four rooms, there are never more than a handful of guests on the property. There is no queue at the restaurant, no crowd at the pool and no busy-lodge atmosphere. The team gets to know your name, your tea order and your safari time.
Book all four rooms and the property becomes your private villa in the forest—a peaceful base for a family, a group of friends, a small wedding party or a team offsite.

Personal service, from morning tea to dinner
With only a few guests, the team can look after you at a personal scale. Meals can be arranged in-room, poolside or as a private dining experience, with menus planned around your tastes. Early wake-up calls, packed breakfasts and a hot drink on your return can be arranged around safari timings. One point of contact coordinates your stay, safaris, transfers and requests.
