Kanker Palace
Kanker Palace, the residence of the erstwhile ruling family of the Princely State of Kanker, has been developed as a retreat from where sensitive and interested international tourists might access the region.
It also assumes that Kanker Palace, with its age-old and deep ties with the people of the region, and a heritage site itself, is well placed to serve as it intends to. Given the physical difficulties in accessing the interior, Kanker Palace, at a convenient distance from Raipur and its airport, as well as at one with the region itself, is ideally suited to be the base for and a "gateway" to the region.

J Farms
J Farm was built in 1900 as a granary for the Maharaja's paddy fields in Girhola, one of the hundreds of agricultural plots of the state. It was usually put in charge of the village headman as the royal officials from Kanker would visit only once in a while. Sometimes, if the villagers were lucky, the Maharaja would camp here en route to hunting in the nearby jungles of Badbhum. On these occasions, the Farm would come alive with festivity. Since independence, it has reverted to us and has now been opened to visitors as part of our attempt to give our guests an authentic feel of the life of our region. Earlier called 'Raja Dhaba' or the king's barn, it is now called J Farm after the nick names of Jolly and Jai, your hosts, who often personally supervise cultivation in the fields. Jolly is greatly devoted to the welfare of village as well and is loved by the village folk as a friend and benefactor.

On the outskirts of Jagdalpur, the district headquarter and nerve centre of Bastar, just where the forest begins, is our newly opened Bastar Jungle Resort (BJR). Away from the maddening crowd of the town, set amidst nature, BJR is a set of picture perfect cottages and tents-if you want more adventureadjacent to some villages and ponds.
