Where sal forests whisper at dawn, tigers walk the forest edge, and luxury finds its truest meaning — in stillness.
"Serai" — a resting place for travellers. "Baagh" — the tiger, and the garden. Together, a sanctuary within a sanctuary.
Serai The Baagh is a premier nature retreat positioned at the gateway of Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary, part of the legendary Dudhwa Tiger Reserve in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh — just 100 metres from the sanctuary gate.
We believe the finest travel is unhurried, immersive, and deeply connected to place. Spread across 3 acres of sal-shaded land, our resort offers private rooms, fine dining, a large swimming pool, and world-class naturalist experiences — all year round.
Every hour at Serai The Baagh is an invitation — to look closer, listen harder, and let the Terai reveal itself at its own pace.
