Tala Zone · Bandhavgarh National Park
Private cottages on the edge of Bandhavgarh — each named after a legendary tiger of the park — a pool under the sal trees, and a safari desk that has you at Tala Gate before it opens.
The Olive Resort
Mornings here start before the gates open — flasks of chai on the veranda, jeeps idling on the gravel. By afternoon it slows down: the pool, the shade of the sal trees, dinner served under string lights on the lawn.
Accommodation
Every cottage is standalone with a private veranda — and carries the name of a tiger that made this forest famous.

Getting Here
The Olive sits on Rancha Road in Tala village — 2.5 km from the Tala safari gate. Tell us your train or flight and we will arrange the pickup.
Good to Know
About 2.5 km — a five-minute drive. Morning safari guests leave the resort with flasks of chai and reach the gate before it opens.
Yes. Our safari desk books permits, jeep and naturalist for Tala, Magdhi and Khitauli zones as soon as your stay is confirmed. In peak season (November–January and April–June) permits sell out weeks ahead, so book your stay early and we file the permit request the same day.
The park is open October to June. October–February is green and pleasant; March–June is hot but gives the best tiger sightings around waterholes. The park closes July–September for the monsoon.
Two to three nights is ideal — it allows three to four game drives across different zones, which greatly improves your chances of a sighting.
