For years, a Tadoba weekend from Nagpur meant early alarms, dusty roads, and a hunt for a stay that felt as special as the forest itself. That equation just got simpler.
In October 2026, Radisson Hotel Group opened Jungle Home Resort Tadoba—also referred to locally as Jungle Home Tadoba Wilderness Lodge—under its Radisson Individuals Retreats collection. It is the group’s first resort inside a forest-reserve setting in India, and it sits where Nagpur travellers actually need it: a short drive from the city, and a short walk from the gate.
Where it sits (and why that matters)
The lodge is in Village Kolara, Tehsil Chimur, Chandrapur district—about 90 km from Nagpur and roughly the same from Chandrapur city. The standout detail for safari planners: it is only about 450 metres from Kolara Gate of the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, so morning and afternoon jungle safaris are right on the doorstep.
That proximity is the story. You can plan a sunrise drive, come back for breakfast or a Jacuzzi unwind, and still make the afternoon slot without racing across the buffer.
What’s inside: suites, villas, and quiet luxury
Public opening reports describe 20 accommodation units:
- 8 luxury suites with private Jacuzzis
- 10 premium suites
- 2 villas, each made up of three cottages, with an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi
Shared spaces lean nature-first: a spa, a swimming pool, and landscaped gardens. Dining is framed around Gondwana Rasoi, with themed meals and local flavours. Soft recreation fills the non-safari hours—cycling, fishing, boating, table tennis, pool, board games, plus nature walks and birdwatching.
Who this stay is for
- Nagpur weekenders who want a polished base without a long haul
- Couples chasing a forest retreat with spa and private Jacuzzi energy
- Families and small groups who can take a villa (three cottages + outdoor pool)
- Wildlife travellers who book Kolara Gate safaris and want the gate almost next door
It is not a backpacker camp and it is not a city business hotel. Think: soft sheets after a dusty gypsy ride—luxury that still smells like the jungle.
How to get there from Nagpur
Most guests will drive or hire a cab south-east toward Chandrapur / Chimur and into Kolara. Expect roughly a 2–2.5 hour road trip depending on traffic and stops (always buffer time around safari check-in). Nearest major air gateway remains Nagpur (DR. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport); from there it is the same ~90 km road leg.
Address listed in travel coverage: 1/2 km from Gate, Kolara, Tekadi Mandavzari, Maharashtra 442903.

Why Nagpur should care
Tadoba already puts Nagpur on India’s wildlife map. A branded Radisson Individuals Retreats lodge at Kolara Gate raises the bar for “fly into Nagpur → tiger country by evening.” For our city, that means more weekend getaways worth writing home about—and another reason visitors ask Nagpur locals where to stay near the forest.
Bottom line: Jungle Home Resort Tadoba is a new luxury wildlife lodge ~90 km from Nagpur, ~450 m from Kolara Gate, with Jacuzzi suites, villa pools, spa, and Gondwana dining—built for travellers who want the tiger reserve and a proper retreat in the same breath.
