About Bundeli Bakhri

Situated Close to Panna Tiger Reserve Madla Gate and huddled in the loving embrace of Mahua trees and singing peacocks, Bundeli Bakhri takes the Bundeli cultural experience to an epic level and retains an old world charm and atmosphere. Bundeli Bakhri is just 20km away from the Khajuraho Airport and a short 2km hop, skip and jump away from the entrance gate to the mighty Panna National reserve. For driving enthusiasts, the 650km from Delhi will fly by in a breeze. We are located in a little village on the River Ken, called Toria Tek.  Vacations should be about experiencing the new, about adventure and about trying out unknown cuisines. An experience should stay with you long after it is over, like the aftertaste of a brilliant chocolate! And sometimes, a luxurious hotel, or plush rugs, or dazzling chandeliers or a gourmet deconstructed meal are just not enough. The traveler soul craves more. It wants to falls in love, not be stunned or overawed. Sometimes it wants petrichore to fill its nostrils and not an exotic perfume. And it is with exactly that aim in mind that we decided to set up something that was different from the usual. The first thing you’ll notice as you enter is the many vivid colours of the attire, the bright odhnais strongly contrasting with the greens and browns of the landscape.You’ve seen pictures of them – ladies adorned with the brilliant red, blue and purple patterns of the lehnga - cholis they wear. The men with their turbans, tall and proud. These are village folks who live in small mud-thatched handmade huts, surrounded by their cattle and smaller livestock. Adding to this riot of colour is the antique silver they wear – necklaces, bracelets and amulets – worn by the women and men. Prepare to be dazzled by the Badhaiya, a popular ceremonial dance that is performed during auspicious ceremonies or while welcoming guests. With rhythm and  graceful movements, they greet visitors into their fold.
