Jungle Aashiyana
Where Nature Heals, Culture Connects, and Wellness Awakens
Nestled in the serene lap of the Satpura Hills, Jungle Aashiyana is more than just a retreat — it's a soulful journey back to nature, simplicity, and ancient Indian wisdom. The vision behind Jungle Aashiyana was sparked by Colonel Bappaditya Dhar (Retd.), a man of discipline, purpose, and deep-rooted love for India’s cultural and natural heritage. After a distinguished career in the Indian Army, Col. Dhar turned his focus toward transforming the quaint village of Sawarvani into a meaningful eco-tourism destination. What began as a personal mission to escape the chaos of modern life has now become a thriving haven for travelers seeking peace, rejuvenation, and cultural immersion.
