Pench Tree Lodge | Pugdundee Safaris

After our stay at Kanha Earth Lodge, we weren’t nearly done with being in nature so we drove to Pench Tree Lodge with Pugdundee Safaris and had another mesmerizing stay in the midst of forests and wild animals.

It’s been a hot minute since I shared anything on the blog since corona-virus took a massive shit all over our lives.
