This is a small homestay of a few rooms near the entry gates of Pench tiger reserve on the Maharashtra side, which lies within Nagpur district. Guests get clean rooms, home-cooked Vidarbha food, help with planning safaris, and walks with local guides in the villages outside the park.
Nagpur's airport, part of the MIHAN project, and its big rail junction make the city the usual arrival point for tourists heading to central India's tiger reserves, and the city calls itself the Tiger Capital. Pench is among the closest reserves to the city, so it draws both outside visitors and Nagpur families on weekends.
You need land or an old house near the park, registration with the state tourism department, a food licence and guest records for the police. Check the building rules for the protected zone around the reserve before you build. The hard part is the season: safaris in the core area stop during the monsoon, so income falls for months. Safari seats are booked online through the forest department, so you cannot promise them to guests. Resorts already run near the main gates, so win on warmth, food and fair prices.
Reach guests through online travel sites, wildlife photography groups, Nagpur tour operators and good reviews from every stay.
