One of the most sought-after wildlife destinations in India, Pench National Park is located in Madhya Pradesh. Occupied by a wide range of flora, fauna, and bird species, Pench offers an unparalleled and fantastic wildlife experience through its safari trails. The core zones of Pench National Park are Turia, Karmajhiri, and Jamtara. Tourists usually prefer to stay near the entry gates of these zones to arrive on time for the safari. There are several options available for accommodation near the entry gates. One of them is Haldu Tola, a resort with a pristine setup. Nestled in the serene buffer zone of the Pench Tiger Reserve, Haldu Tola is a peaceful haven where natural beauty blends effortlessly with refined comfort. The name draws inspiration from the majestic Haldu tree, a symbolic guardian at the center of the retreat, and "Tola," meaning a small village, perfectly capturing the essence of this harmonious escape.
