Our Story

This legacy has been carried forward by the third generation, Amit Sankhala. Amit is equally addicted to wildlife, committed to its conservation and has the spirit of an adventurer. His inheritance came with a new set of challenges: nature tourism had evolved, and conservation faced more complex challenges: habitat loss, encroachments on natural habitat, escalating human-wildlife conflicts. Amit continues to tackle these issues through the Tiger Trust; while also addressing local community concerns like livelihoods through responsible tourism where communities are collaborative partners and local enterprise encouraged. The tourism model developed is aspirational, offering luxury embedded in an ethos of responsibility and sensitivity. The lodges are run with a deeply empathetic approach with a respect for flora and fauna, and local cultures.

A wanderer himself, Amit instinctively understands what guests need, what makes for a great nature experience, and memories that last a lifetime. He has put together a team of like-minded people — naturalists who know the forest intimately and have a rich repertoire of jungle tales; chefs who cook up a storm with local produce; and staff which indulges you with small comforts while respecting your privacy. Safaris are a memorable, thrilling experience, perhaps even more remarkable is the wildlife that you may encounter in the property itself.
