Located in the heart of Kanha National Park, Tathastu the Serenity Retreat is the leading hospitality destination for wildlife tourism in Madhya Pradesh, India, since 2017. Serenity, as it is lovingly referred to, has been conceived as a dedicated institution for the sake of environment-enthusiasts, nature lovers, local communities and global cultural vagabonds alike. At Serenity, holiday-makers can choose to indulge in a wide variety of unprecedented experiences and exclusive activities. Jungle Safaris through the core areas; Nature-Hiking in buffer zones; and Trail-Biking along the remote forest pugdundees can be best enjoyed in warm company of our expert Naturalists. Also organized are guided field-trips to tribal markets and traditional festivals held across local villages. Cultural exchanges between our guests and local indigenous communities are facilitated via osmotic cooking sessions, art workshops and leisurely picnics held in the picturesque countryside.
Around 600 sq ft in size, living cottages have been imagined as independent microcosms of life in the wilderness. The raised staircase leads to private seating-decks on either side of the main entrance, ideal for tea breaks and peaceful introspections. The bedrooms have been furnished with a plush king-size bed or twin queen-size beds, comfortable sofas, a study, bay window and a day bed. An absolute ‘home away from home’, that’s what we hope our cottages remain to our guests.
Family rooms are furnished with two King-size beds, large sofas, bigger bathrooms and private balconies, ideal for big Indian families holidaying together. Safety of our guests is the highest priority and as such the illuminated stone pathways ensure hassle-free navigation to reach one’s rooms. Wheelchairs are available on request.
The in-house restaurant at Serenity, Alghi Dadar, offers its diners delectable fares greatly inspired from regional culinary traditions. The Swimming Pool at Serenity has been named Shravan Taal, after one of the local water-bodies found inside the core zone. Built amidst lush-green surroundings, the Gol Ghar makes for an impeccable spot of recluse and human-free isolation for our guests.
