The space Out of the 44 acres of forests, we have barely used 10% of the land to host you with 8 Gondia cottages and 4 Machaan Cottages including a central swimming pool and the dining area. The cottages are built with mud and hay, a natural manure is used as a disinfectant and insulator, thus it is designed to keep you warm during the winter and insulated during the summer heat. These cottages are aesthetic to the surrounding villages handmade by the Gond people themselves. Guest access The surrounding forests have many native species of flowering plants, this in turn attracts several wildlife to the Lodge. Chital and Wild Pigs reside on the property, who are often visited by Leopards and Dholes. And to approve the native fruit bearing plants, Sloth Bears and Palm Civets stay in the vicinity of the Lodge. Our naturalists have been documenting a great number of species of birds, butterflies, dragonflies, spiders, scorpions and many new genera of life within the Lodge. Other things to note Forsyth Lodge is special because of it’s people! All our staff come from nearby villages and are mostly from the Gond community, whose name has been given to the country we live in, Gondwana. These people in their villages live a modest life and live quite a self-sustained one at that. They have been raised under the blessings of Bada Dev (Saaj tree) learning about the forests, identifying plants for its sustainable usage, recognising what rock lies at which turn, understanding behaviour of birds and animals that they live with and thus providing Forsyth naturalists with invaluable local knowledge to help create your memorable experience.
