Madhya Pradesh has long captured the hearts of nature enthusiasts with its vast forests and iconic wildlife reserves. A fresh addition to the state's wilderness map now offers travellers a comfortable retreat close to one of India's most talked-about national parks. Known as Kuno Jungle Camp, this new stay invites visitors to experience the region's rich natural heritage while supporting community-focused conservation.
A fresh stay near Kuno
Jungle Camps India Limited has expanded its collection of wilderness retreats by opening Kuno Jungle Camp in the Sheopur district of Madhya Pradesh. Formerly known as The Palpur Fort, the site has been transformed into the company's sixth lodge for nature enthusiasts. The launch comes as Kuno National Park attracts growing interest following the arrival of cheetahs from Namibia in September 2022. Spearheaded by company founder and managing director Gajendra Singh Rathore, the property aims to share insights into forest management and host discussions on living alongside wildlife. Operations and naturalist programmes at the lodge are supervised by Prabhir Patil to help guests explore the surrounding environment.
Comforts and seamless safari connections
Guests staying at the lodge can choose between Executive Rooms and Premium Rooms with Balcony for a peaceful rest between forest outings. Evenings at the property offer opportunities to enjoy local culture through tribal performance art and gathering by a bonfire when available. The camp is conveniently located roughly a fifteen-minute drive from Tiktoli Safari Gate and thirty-five kilometres from Aehra Gate. For travellers designing a broader wildlife holiday, the lodge sits around 120 kilometres from Sawai Madhopur, making it simple to combine a trip with Ranthambore. Fly-in connections are equally convenient, with Gwalior Airport located approximately 200 kilometres away by road.
Discovering the heart of India
Beyond the gates of Kuno, Madhya Pradesh offers a wealth of legendary sights for travellers exploring central India. The state is celebrated for its historic treasures, ranging from the hilltop fort of Gwalior to ancient rock shelters and magnificent temples. Culinary explorers can savour traditional regional dishes like poha jalebi and bhutte ka kees during their journey. Wildlife lovers frequently extend their trips to visit famous tiger reserves such as Kanha, Pench, or Bandhavgarh. The winter months from October to March provide pleasant weather, making it the ideal season for national park safaris and sightseeing across the state.
