Pool, Games & Forest Stays

More to Do Than Just Safari

Home Pool & Games

Built for the Active Family

Most resorts near a tiger reserve give you exactly two things: a room and a safari booking desk. We were built differently. Between safaris, our guests swim, play badminton on the lawn, rack up shots on the full-size pool table, climb up to the treetop machan for forest views, and gather around an evening bonfire.

It's why families with kids — and groups travelling together — keep coming back. There's always something for everyone, and nobody is stuck waiting for the next thing.

Open-air swimming pool at Nature's Lap Resort

Our Open-Air Swimming Pool

Surrounded by gardens, set under the trees — the heart of an afternoon at the Lap

Open-Air, Garden-Side

Set into the resort's gardens with palm-tree shade and a paved deck. Open through the day during your stay.

Loungers, Towels & Shade

Pool loungers, fresh towels, sun hats on request, and shade where you need it. Set yourself up and stay a while.

Poolside Refreshments

Cold lassi, fresh juice, kebabs and snacks brought to the pool deck. Lunch can be served here too — let us know.

In the Gardens & on the Court

Badminton Court

Marked court, proper net, rackets and shuttles ready. Played on the path between the gardens or on our dirt court — both work.

Treetop Machan

Climb up to our wooden machan platform — the day's best forest views, a cool breeze, and the best birdsong of the evening.

Nature Walks

Guided walks through the resort grounds and forest fringe. Peacocks, deer, butterflies, and stories from our naturalists.

Bonfire Evenings

Lit at sundown. Kebabs on the grill, blankets if you need them, ghost stories optional. The kids' favourite hour.

Birdwatching

200+ species in the area. Best at sunrise. We keep binoculars at the front desk and a quiet guide on call.

Ken River Boating

The Ken River is a short drive away. Sundown boating with our naturalist — peaceful, photogenic, perfect for couples.

When the Sun's Too Strong

For long summer afternoons, rainy spells, or after-dinner play

Full-Size Pool Table

Solid wooden frame, proper green felt, full set of cues and balls, in our dedicated indoor games room. Tournaments encouraged.

Board Games & Cards

Carrom, chess, Ludo, Uno, deck of cards — our after-dinner standards. Ask at the front desk.

Verandah Reading Hour

Quiet corners, comfortable chairs, fresh chai or coffee, and a few books we keep around. The afternoon nobody plans, but everyone loves.
