2012-11-29 — /travelprnews.com/ — Baghvan Jungle Lodge has been voted India’s leading wildlife resort in the prestigious 2012 World Travel Awards. These awards acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the global travel and tourism industry and are voted for by members of the travel trade, as well as guests.
“We are proud of the recognition that we have received in India, both in terms of the lodges that we run in partnership with Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces and for the tour operator side of our business. We are looking forward to developing and growing our luxury travel business throughout South Asia while creating extraordinary experiences for our guests,” says &Beyond CEO Joss Kent.
With its open rooftop machans and wooden decks that overlook the shady nullah (dry riverbed), Baghvan Jungle Lodge constantly immerses guests in the sights and sounds of the Indian jungle. Eclectic details like 1950s fridges, vintage toy trucks and carved wooden horses add a quirky touch to this colourful lodge.
&Beyond is renowned for having some of the most highly trained, professional naturalists in Africa and India. They have a passion for people and wildlife, ensuring unbeatable interpretive jungle experiences. &Beyond trained naturalists at Baghvan impart a wealth of knowledge about the habitats, ecology, birds, trees, plants, small animals and insects of Pench National Park. Most of the naturalists come from the surrounding communities and can share cultural information with &Beyond’s guests. The lodge is deeply committed to the company’s core ethic of Care of the Land, Care of the Wildlife, Care of the People and constantly looks for small but meaningful ways to give back to the surrounding communities.
