Banjaar Tola consists of two elegant camps containing nine tented suites, each featuring its own intimate private deck overlooking the river.

Banjaar Tola consists of two elegant camps - each has nine tented suites. The lightweight tents have been designed in a contemporaneous, chic camping style with locally sourced sustainable materials. Every tent has suite features with bamboo floors, a canvas roof and walls, and glass doors leading out onto a spacious deck overlooking beautiful views of the river. Interiors showcase the rich block-printed cottons and silk handwork that is native to Madhya Pradesh. Woven textiles in shades of bleached saffron, forest greens and earthy cinnamon surround guests in the colours and textures of the region.

Preservation efforts at the Banjaar Tola start from the ground up; every suite is set on raised structures, the tent is supporting at only seven points on the ground, allowing natural growth and drainage under all the buildings. Instead of conventional electrical units, the tents are constructed with double layers of canvas with insulation materials and air gaps to keep them cool. In winter, hot water for the bathroom is piped under the insulated bamboo floor. The eco-friendly air conditioning system uses a reversible cycle to efficiently deliver both cooling and heating. Taj Hotels has reinvented the safari tradition with an earth-friendly experience that’s also unforgettably luxurious.

BON APPETIT
Dining in hotel Banjaar Tola is as wonderful and exotic as the safari itself. Menu is never the same and great care taker chef and the staffs help you to celebrate the unique flavours and styles of the region.

As guests arrive in the hotel, they are seated in the sitting lounge and served the signature welcome drink and snacks while the Chef introduces himself and enquiries as to the dietary preferences or tastes of each guest.

Choose your lunch on a private deck overlooking the river with Butler Service is discreet Or gather as a group on the beautiful lounge deck where special menus are displayed on the blackboard.

At dinnertime, enjoy a wok style dinner by the poolside, an “Angithi” dinner in the dining room, where guest assists in cooking their meals, or a riverside dinner on Chowkis, which are specially-created decks. Private dining by the tents is always an option as well.

Jungle Banquets are lavish affairs with bullock carts loaded with kitchen treats. Guests will be given shawls to wear and the area will be heated by sigris (traditional coal heaters). Hyderabadi cuisine is featured, with the food cooked in the traditional degs and haandis and sealed with Atta (whole wheat flour dough). Each guest will be presented with their own sealed haandi that will be opened with a flourish, releasing the aroma of the spices. At the end of the meal, the Chef pedals in a dessert cart filled with signature Banjaar Tola sweets served with South Indian coffee.

For the adventurous couple, a special Bush Dinner is available. This intimate dinner would take place in a secluded jungle spot of your choosing. We’ll leave you with a wireless set for communication, so that our butler only has to appear when needed.
