Mayur The Karma

Stayed in the Lake View Wada at Karma for a couple of nights. It is a superb property, very well planned, spacious with peaceful surroundings. The cottages are beautifully decorated with modern amenities yet retains a rustic feel that is essential for a jungle property. The pool is awesome and a perfect place to unwind. Food options are plenty and they offer a delicious spread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Above all the staff is awesome and extremely friendly. Special Thanks to Raju ji and his team at the restaurant for being extremely generous and serving our dinner at the Wada. A big thank you to Hemant Ji at the Karma office in Nagpur for offering a great deal and making all the arrangements including the safari. He was just a phone call away for any help. It is a new property, very well maintained and soon coming up with more accommodation and amenities. I would also like to thank the GM Sanjeev Ji, an extremely affable person, for his wonderful inputs on the safari and sightings in the region.

The road to this place is great. You go through the jungle and a village. There weren't any other resorts in that part of Pench other than this one. It's a huge property with an ample parking space. Cars can be parked at the entry gate itself or right next to your rooms. We were welcomed with a band, a refreshing cold drink (paperboat) and a smile. We booked the mud houses this time, other options being Wood houses and Wadas. All great options. They are adding more like villas and banquet halls. There's a small garden for kids. A small lake right in the middle of the property. The place looks lovely at night. They kept bonfires ready at night. There is a generator for backup. Electrical rooms, transformer and generator can use fencing to keep people away. A nice clean swimming pool is also here. Not very deep so the kids can enjoy their time. All in all it is a nice place to stay. P.S. It would have been nice to enjoy the tea in the cold winter. No one likes the tea that gets cold while you're choosing which sugar to pick and how much. Just bring it prepared. Not every time of course but when requested, it would have been nice.
