Tathastu Resorts Expands Portfolio with 5th New Wildlife Retreat in Satpura

Nagpur, 2026 –Tathastu Resorts has announced the launch of ‘Tathastu Satpura’, its newest wilderness retreat located at Satpura Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh. With this opening, the hospitality group expands its footprint across India’s leading wildlife destinations, adding Satpura as the fifth property in its growing portfolio of jungle resorts, after Pench, Kanha, Tadoba, and Bandhavgarh.

The newly launched retreat features 34 Villa Rooms and 5 Exclusive Pool Suites, designed to offer guests a quiet, immersive stay close to one of Central India’s most ecologically rich forest landscapes. Spacious villas, private verandas and forest-facing spaces allow guests to experience the wilderness while enjoying the comforts of a boutique retreat. All rooms are equipped with two washrooms, allowing you an additional hour of sleep for you and your partner before a morning safari.

“Hidden quietly in the heart of Madhya Pradesh lies a destination that offers something far more peaceful, raw and authentic – Satpura. Often overlooked, this forest region is a paradise for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts and travellers seeking calm, away from crowded tourist circuits. At its core is Satpura Tiger Reserve, one of India’s most underrated yet rewarding wildlife destinations, known for its rich biodiversity and remarkably tranquil safari experience where visitors can truly listen to the forest. With the launch of Tathastu Satpura, we aim to create a stay that complements the spirit of this landscape, immersive, intimate and deeply connected to the wilderness,” said Mr Anil Agarwala, Managing Director, Tathastu Resorts.

Dining at the resort is centred around ‘Gilhari’, the property’s squirrel-inspired multi-cuisine restaurant serving a diverse range of Indian and international flavours. The name is a tribute to the Indian Giant Squirrel found in the region and is also the official Mascot of the Satpura Tiger Reserve. Guests can also unwind at the resort’s bar, a warm space designed with earthy tones and wooden accents that reflect the natural character of the surrounding forest.

Wildlife exploration remains the core of the Satpura experience. Guided safaris into the reserve offer opportunities to encounter species such as Tigers, Leopards, Sloth Bears, Indian giant squirrels, sambar deer and a wide variety of birdlife. The reserve is known for its relatively undisturbed terrain and diverse safari experiences, making it an increasingly sought-after destination for wildlife travellers.

Beyond safaris, the resort offers a range of recreational and nature-based experiences, including jungle walks, riverside sundowners, pottery sessions, reflexology walks, and much more. Guests can also enjoy indoor entertainment in the games room, friendly matches at the resort’s box cricket arena, karaoke evenings and relaxation at the temperature-controlled indoor swimming pool.

As part of its social initiative, Tathastu Satpura also has a team of visually impaired spa therapists who offer therapeutic massages at the resort.

With the addition of Satpura, Tathastu Resorts now operates wildlife retreats across some of India’s most prominent tiger landscapes, including Pench, Tadoba, Bandhavgarh and Kanha. The brand’s portfolio focuses on destinations located within or near the country’s premier tiger reserves, offering travellers a blend of wilderness immersion, curated experiences and warm hospitality.

The launch of Tathastu Satpura reflects the growing demand for experiential wildlife travel in India, as travellers increasingly seek nature-led holidays that combine adventure, comfort and deeper engagement with protected forest ecosystems.
