A glimpse into a Rajasthan Holiday
Madhya Pradesh
The state of Madhya Pradesh is home to the country’s greatest ‘jungles’ – from the Hindi word for forest. With dramatic, undulating hills, winding rivers and beautiful forests with extensive clearings, it is little wonder that Rudyard Kipling was inspired by this remarkable highland area.
Enjoy access and unique insight into the tiger reserves and their forest village communities in the Satpura Hills through our partnership with Madhya Pradesh Forest Department. Follow the footsteps of pioneer James Forsyth and discover the cool haven of Pachmarhi Hillstation, overlooking the Satpura tiger reserve. Visit Pench National Park – true Jungle Book land.

What people say?
"A very important aspect of these holidays is the aim of sustainable development to keep these communities thriving. This takes a great deal of hard work from everyone involved with Village Ways and it would appear they are now being rewarded for this."

"We had a wonderful time. We were so well looked after by everyone from start to finish. Taxi drivers, guides and villagers could all not do enough for our safety and comfort. It’s also nice to come back from a holiday not only a little bit fitter but also to know that your trip has directly helped rather than damaged the places and people who you have visited."
