The Riverwood Forest Retreat Kanha Spreads Arms for Wildlife Enthusiasts & Retreat Seekers

The Riverwood Forest Retreat Kanha, a named collection of Waxpol Hotels & Resorts, offers a sustainable and conscious luxury experience for wildlife enthusiasts and retreat seekers at Kanha National Park. The resort boasts 18 spacious premium cottages designed to be environmentally conscious with large glass windows that bring in natural light and offer stunning views of the surrounding greenery.

The resort is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and preserving the natural beauty of the region. The original tree cover was left untouched and the buildings were designed to accommodate the land and not vice versa. Part of the resort’s electricity is powered by solar panels, and the property has its sewage treatment plant where all treated wastewater is reused to water the organic garden and fruit trees in the resort, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.

The resort is constructed using AAC bricks for the walls, which are industrial by products, a green alternative to bricks that insulate against heat and reduce electricity requirements for the cottages and common areas. The resort’s waste management practices also follow environmentally friendly practices, and the property is free of single-use plastic.

“We believe in offering our guests a luxurious experience while preserving the environment,” said Akanksha Garg, Founder Director. “Our commitment to sustainability is a core value of our resort, and we strive to ensure our guests have a memorable and responsible experience.”

The Riverwood Forest Retreat Kanha is located in the buffer zone of Kanha National Park, which is home to a large population of Royal Bengal tigers, Indian leopards, Sloth bears, Barasinghas, and Indian wild dogs. Guests can explore the wilderness through guided safaris, nature walks, and bird-watching expeditions. The resort also offers an array of wellness activities, such as yoga and meditation, to help guests reconnect with nature and themselves.
