The Jungle Lodges were the creation and vision of the late Mr. Pradeep Sankhala, who planned and built the Jungle Lodges and personally handled them for over 15 years. Being a professional tour operator, he saw to each and every need of the traveller. An active member of Professional associations, he lectured on Wildlife conservation and tourism at Universities, colleges, schools and associations and clubs around the world. Pradeep was a well respected conservationist and was the chairman of Tiger Trust in India.
Mr. Pradeep Sankhala comes from the famous Sankhala family who have spent all their life for Tiger conservation. His father - the late Mr. Kailash Sankhala was the Founder Director of "Project Tiger" (1972), known as the "Tiger Man of India". His role as the founder Director of "Project Tiger", meant to protect and increase this predator species, was exemplary. He became Director of the Delhi Zoological Park and later Rajasthan's Chief Wildlife Warden.
He had authored many books, some on the Tiger as well.. National Parks (1969) Wild Beauty (1973) Tigerland(1977) Tiger ! The Story of the Indian Tiger (1978) Gardens of God (1990)
The Government of India has instituted the National Fellowship for research on Wildlife and Stare Award for Wildlife conservation by Rajasthan Government dedicated to Kailash Sankhala along with dedicating the Interpretation center at Sariska National Park to his name. There are many annual conservation programs and centers also dedicated to him.
Today, Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge and Kanha Jungle Lodge are managed by Pradeep's son - Amit Sankhala (grandson of Kailash Sankhala) who with his boundless enthusiasm and charm owns, operates and manages both the Jungle Lodges. With his vast knowledge and interest in the field of eco tourism, he continues the legacy of conservation and wildlife tourism. Amit is the Managing Director of Tiger Resorts Pvt.Ltd and Indian Nature Expeditions.
