Sterling Holiday Resorts Limited has announced the opening of Sterling Bandhavgarh in Madhya Pradesh, strengthening its presence across Central India’s leading wildlife destinations and adding another distinctive forest experience to its growing wilderness portfolio. With resorts across 15 celebrated wildlife landscapes of India, Sterling is deliberately building wilderness travel as a distinct leisure category. Bandhavgarh strengthens this strategy by bringing one of India’s most recognised tiger destinations into a portfolio designed to offer travellers different forests, different experiences and more reasons to explore.
For families, this creates a more complete holiday proposition. Travellers can combine safari anticipation with birdwatching, village walks, nature trails, regional cuisine, and relaxed time, letting different generations discover Bandhavgarh in their own way.
Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts Limited, said: “With Sterling’s growing presence across wildlife and nature destinations, we have the opportunity to connect individual forests into compelling journeys, such as Bandhavgarh and Kanha. We are not simply adding destinations to our wilderness portfolio. We are giving travellers more reasons to discover India’s forests—and more reasons to return. With Bandhavgarh joining our growing presence across Central India, we also see the opportunity to develop richer journeys that connect different wilderness landscapes. Our ambition is to make wildlife holidays about discovering the forest and everything around it, not just the sighting.”
Located in Tala village, approximately 2.5 km from the Tala Gate of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Sterling Bandhavgarh offers an intimate retreat with 26 rooms across four distinctive categories – its Machan Suites feature private machans and outdoor showers, while Courtyard Rooms with Balconies offer garden-facing outdoor spaces. Safari Tents with Private Sit-outs bring a sense of adventure to the stay, complemented by comfortable Forest Rooms. A swimming pool, gardens and outdoor relaxation spaces create easy downtime between excursions.
Speaking on the launch, Pranav Sharma, Owner, Mahalaxmi Commercial Service Pvt Ltd, said: “Our association with Sterling at Kanha has given us the confidence to extend this partnership to Bandhavgarh. Sterling brings strong operating expertise, brand reach and an understanding of how to create distinctive destination experiences. We are delighted to build on this successful relationship and bring another compelling wilderness retreat to travellers”
