Inspiring Stories - Katie Bhujwala - Shergarh Tented Camp

Shergarh Tented Camp opened in 2004 and was established as a small and informal tented camp with a strong focus on high quality wildlife experiences, and with a deep concern for the environment and local community. The project all started with the vision to build a simple lodge from which tourists could enjoy the nearby Kanha Tiger Reserve. The plan began with purchasing a degraded plot of non-native eucalyptus plantation, then restoring the area back to original native woodland and a haven for wildlife. Shergarh Tented Camp supports the local community and has always drawn upon local skills, materials and services for their business. The owners Katie, Jehan and their two children reside there and have become a close as family with the local community, who in turn help them to run many aspects of the camp.
