Country Club Celebration Van Vilas Resort at Kanha National Park

Kanha National Park, the largest tiger reserve in Central India is still as breathtaking as in the days of Mowgli and Munna, a giant male tiger as powerful as the legendary Sher Khan from Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book still rules over the Kanha!

Kanha is one of the finest & best administered National Parks in Asia, an attraction for wildlife lovers, a true heaven for its animal and park’s flora and fauna. Kanha National Park is in the Mandla and Balaghat districts of Madhya Pradesh, India. In the 1930s, Kanha area was divided into two sanctuaries, Hallon and Banjar, of 250 and 300 km². This park was created on 1 June 1955. Today it stretches over an area of 940 km² in the two districts Mandla and Balaghat together with a surrounding buffer zone of 1,067 km².

In 1894, the mighty forests of Kanha inspired Rudyard Kipling to pen his famous novel, the Jungle Book and thanks to the conservation efforts, the Kanha National Park still thrives with the Royal Bengal tigers, leopards, Barasingha, sloth bears, wild dogs, wild cats, foxes and jackals.

Perched on the banks of the Banjar River, Country Club wild Chalet is the ideal gateway to Kanha National Park. Each of the Charming cream washed cottages, with a spray of bougainvillea growing over their sloping tiled roofs, command a magnificent view of the river with a backdrop of lush forests. The spacious and extremely comfortable rooms are equipped with all modern amenities to ensure a perfect retreat in the wilds. Naturalists help you unravel the mystery called Kanha during your stay as they guide you through Jungle safaris, nature walks, elephant rides, bird watching and wildlife films.

Facilities at the resort consist of 34 air-conditioned suite and family rooms, multi-cuisine restaurant, Ayurvedic Spa, swimming pool with a deck and kids pool, conference hall, variety of indoor and outdoor games, safari, boating, bird watching, nature trails, tribal dance and wildlife documentary shows.

By far the most striking features of this region are the open grassy meadows, where sighting blackbuck, swamp deer, sambhar and chital is common. And, if one can transcend into time, a barefooted Mowgli would perhaps come padding along the dusty trail, for this is the land of Kipling’s Jungle Book.

Discover Lavasa the Modern Hill Station with Country Club India

Lavasa is a planned hill station developed on the Western Ghats, on the banks of the Baji Pasalkar reservoir behind the Varasgaon Dam near Pune. Lavasa Hill City is free India’s first and largest hill city with a sprawling township spread across the 7 hills of the Mose valley.

High up in the Western Ghats, where nature grows wild, is a bush that is part of the perennial foliage of the slopes. It fades when the dry spells hit and bursts into vivid green life with the arrival of the monsoon. Expect, this plant has a party trick up its sleeve: every eight years, the carpet of green explodes in a profusion of color- all possible shades of blue. Iridescent violet to pale lavender with splashes of reds and pinks. This is the Karvi shrub, strutting its stuff briefly, after which it quietly shuts shop and vanishes for another eight years. Not just a pretty face, the plant is known for its anti-inflammatory properties in ayurvedic, Japanese and Chinese medicine. It is only fitting that the first ever spa in Dasve. Country Club India members are offered a best spa from Karvi spa.

The Dasvino Town & Country Club, the Karvi Spa pulls out all stops with its 11 therapy rooms and menu of treatments that seem to cover the best of Eurasia with the ubiquitous Jacuzzi and steam room added for universal appeal.

You can have therapists hanging off a rope and walking up and down your back or sinking their thumbs deep into your sore muscles, liberating them from stiffness. Opt for the Karvi Four Hand Synchronized massage, which involves the therapists performing a well-synchronized duet with clever fingers. Or try a 2,500 year old Thai therapy perfected by Buddhist monks, it includes yoga postures and stretches. You can also opt for the Balinese import that revitalizes your chi. If it’s a quick fix that you need, go for the foot reflexology or distress with a head, neck and shoulder massage.

Currently, the spa has kicked off weekend services for visitors to Lavasa, who come to soak in some tranquility before heading back to the city. In time, it will be the staple of the city’s residents.

A member’s only club has always been an integral part of urban life in Indian cities. It provides the citizens of a town an opportunity to meet strangers and expand their social circle through shared activities that may range from a simple shared love for cigars and whisky to active sport. The Dasvino Town & Country Club, set on the shores of Warasgaon Lake, is one such meeting ground for Lavasa’s residents. The surrounding greenery and serenity of water lapping at its shores make it the perfect place to kick back and relax after a long day at the office.

An infinity pool, steps away from the shores of the lake, is ringed by an alfresco, all-day dining area- the ideal spot to soak in Lavasa’s perennially clement climate, as you make new friends or catch up with old ones. You may choose to iron out the desk-job kinks at the gym outfitted with state of the art Nautilus equipment or pamper yourself with one of the treatments at Karvi Spa. If playing tennis beside the lake while surrounded by mountains is your thing, get out there and smash a few balls around. Stow your kids in the playroom, where they can romp under the expert eye of the qualified staff while you do your thing. The ground-level restaurant, the Asian Opera, is a little more formal; the menu is pan-Asian and the produce handpicked from Lavasa’s own organic gardens. The Lounge, located upstairs, is ideal for relaxing against a backdrop of spectacular views, while the English-themed pub is perfect for grabbing a few drinks. With Hong Kong based International Leisure Consultants (ILC), the masterminds behind legendary establishments (such as the Hong Kong Cricket Club, the St. Regis, Beijing and The Venetian Macau) managing the club, you can be assured that the Lavasa quality of life will be adhered to at this little haven of leisure.
