Jungle Camps India Expands Its Portfolio with Kuno Jungle Camp in Madhya Pradesh

13th November 2026 — Jungle Camps India Limited (BSE: 544304) has launched Kuno Jungle Camp, the sixth wildlife lodge in its portfolio. Formerly known as The Palpur Fort, the property is in Sheopur district near Kuno National Park, where the first cheetahs brought from Namibia under Project Cheetah were released in September 2022. The reserve takes its name from the Kuno River. Accommodation includes Premium Rooms with Balcony and Executive Rooms.

“People often plan a trip to Kuno because they have followed the return of the cheetah to India. That interest gives us a chance to speak with visitors and explain how the park is managed, why habitats matter and what residents know from living alongside wildlife,” said Gajendra Singh Rathore, Founder, Chairperson and Managing Director of Jungle Camps India Limited. “We want to give guests time to ask questions and listen to people who know the area well. For us, working here also means finding opportunities for nearby communities to take part in tourism on their own terms, whether through employment, supplying the lodge or sharing skills they want to pass on to others.”

Prabhir Patil will lead the camp’s operations and naturalist programme. The camp also offers performances by tribal artists and bonfire evenings. Experiences are subject to availability.

Tiktoli Safari Gate is a 15-minute drive from the camp. Aehra Gate is approximately 35 km away (25 minutes), while Gwalior Airport is roughly 200 km by road (three hours). Travellers combining their stay with a visit to Ranthambore can reach the camp from Sawai Madhopur, approximately 120 km away (two hours).
