Ever since I started frequenting Kanha as a naturalist guide, I developed a habit to account all things interesting at this wonderful National Park in India.
The last trip was a few days before the Kanha gates closed for the monsoon. Monsoons are a period of heavy rains in most parts of India including Kanha National Park.
Once you become a Kanha fan it beckons you, again and again, such is the magic of this nature preserve. Not only the tigers, but the paradise also has so much to offer.
On my last visit, I happened to visit a luxury resort at Mocha - a few kilometers from park gates - in order to take a measure of new accommodations that have been established in recent times.
The Celebration Van Vilas Resort in a true sense defines the word "luxury". Yes, the Kanha Resort is a three-star resort set amidst the lush green ambiance of Kanha. It has been designed to cater to upper-class tourists who wish for luxury yet do not wish to sacrifice the feel of the wilderness and tradition.
As a premium three-star jungle lodge Celebration keeps its promise. It delivers luxury and comfort and yet mingles perfectly with the surroundings of Kanha's pristine forests. In spite of being a luxury lodge meant for high-profile tourists from India and Abroad it retains India's rustic charm and warmth.
No wonder the owners are age-old conservationists and wildlife lovers and hence their experience of forest life speaks quite loud in their venture at Kanha. The resort justifies its surroundings and adds to the natural beauty of the forests. The wide expanse of the property with a large number of cottages dressed in ethnic splendor and a cool pool invites wildlife lovers with open arms. The hotel spells class and justifies it with its superb architecture, exquisite decor, and dotting service and cuisine which never fail to impress. Yet the resort is a prime example of responsible tourism.

- The resort has all the must-haves of true old-time hunting lodges - a lofty machan (hide) for bird watching and catching sight of the elusive panther who patrols the jungle treks in the night as a sentinel of the wild. He often drops in to say Hello to the guests...Well almost.
- Naturalist guides with years of experience who regale you with enchanting encounters in the wild with tigers and other mammals. The interactive well-equipped lecture hall is where one should lend ear to detailed lectures on Kanha and Indian wildlife. One should also spend free time with the nature guides here for interpretative dialog on the amazing biodiversity - flora, and fauna of Kanha.
- The well-stocked library lets you step deep into the realms of the wilderness, hunting, and wild animals of India, penned by top naturalist guides, wildlife biologists, and writers. Else watch a movie about nature and wildlife in the auditorium.
