Experiences That Go Beyond Safaris
Change the way you travel, and be closer to nature.
We’re redefining wildlife experiences at Palash Villa Pench. Beyond the safari, our activities invite travelers to engage with the forest through slower, more immersive encounters from mindful forest bathing to community-led crafts and conservation-inspired learning. Every experience is a step toward restoring balance between people and the wild.
Mindful Forest
Bathing
Experience the forest in its purest form through Shinrin Yoku, the Japanese practice of mindful immersion in nature. Guided by our host, Rushant Dhanwatay, these sessions invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and engage your senses with the forest’s quiet rhythms. Rooted in respect and awareness, forest bathing helps you restore balance, reduce stress, and rediscover your connection with the world.
Hands-on Agro Immersion
Step into the rhythm of rural Pench through hands-on farming and foraging activities led by local communities. Join seasonal routines like rice or cotton harvesting, Mahua collection, and gathering forest produce alongside village farmers. Each experience is rooted in respect, sustainability, and meaningful cultural exchange offering an intimate glimpse into the living landscape of Pench.
Local Culinary
Journeys
Join us for a one-of-a-kind outdoor cooking session where food becomes a story. Begin with a visit to the local village market, sourcing fresh, seasonal produce while learning about regional ingredients and age-old culinary traditions. Then gather around an open fire to cook, share stories, and savour flavours inspired by the forest and the community that sustains it.

Reviews from the Palash Guests
It is a great place to spend your weekend or holidays in nature with good food, good service and a peaceful atmosphere. Dip in the pool was good fun for the kids and a visit to the nearby river was amazing and sone pe suhaga was we got to see the tiger and pack of dogs hunting a deer at Pench National Park.
