Beyond the Known, Into the Wild
A wilderness retreat spread across 30 acres amidst the Kalagarh Tiger Reserve. Surrounded by Sal forests and wildlife, it offers immersive nature experiences in a serene setting.
Think you’ve seen all that Lansdowne has to offer? Think again. Sterling Vanvasa Outer Lansdowne invites you to venture deeper — into a world where Sal forests grow denser, roads get quieter, and the wild begins to breathe around you. Hidden in the remote wilderness near Jui village, this 30-acre escape lies in the Kalagarh Tiger Reserve within the Sona Nadi Wildlife Sanctuary — making it the only branded resort in this raw, unspoiled terrain.
At over 3,200 feet above sea level, this is more than a hill getaway. It’s a realm of mystery and awe — where every sunrise brings the call of the bulbul, every dusk carries whispers of the jungle, and the night sky becomes your personal galaxy. Whether it’s watching deer graze near your verandah, following langurs across treetops, or simply listening to the silence of ancient woods — Vanvasa stirs something elemental within you.
If you crave solitude, slow travel, secret trails and the thrill of nature at its purest, Sterling Vanvasa Outer Lansdowne is where you go to relax — and come fully alive.
