Look no further if you are planning a trip to Tadoba. White House Farms is an excellent place to stay, with comfortable rooms, great food and an exceptional host - Mr Indranil Mukherjee. I should add that I was travelling with three senior citizens, and this trip would not have been possible without Mr Mukherjee's unparalleled help and care. From organising safaris to arranging for transport - he was always there. He also catered to special needs that were there. It was a great holiday with amazing safaris - all thanks to the wonderful host. Mr Mukherjee is a true nature lover - do listen to his tips for the safaris since he really knows the jungle inside out! I wholeheartedly recommend this place and will surely visit again.

It was a great experience staying in White House Farms, Tadoba from 27 to 30 October 2023. Owner of the Farm Mr Mukherjee himself along with the well behaved staff of his farm took excellent care of us. The beautiful spacious rooms, the home made nicely prepared food, the ambience of the farm exceeded our expectations. It was worth visiting the White House Farm and I definitely recommend Wild Life lovers to stay and enjoy his farm at least once if not more.

My family and I stayed at Whitehouse Farms in Oct 2023. Mr Mukherjee advised us on our safari bookings and took care of our pick up from and drop at the Nagpur airport, resulting in a stress free holiday and wonderful tiger sightings. The food was delicious and homely and the rooms comfortable. If you're a nature/tiger lover planning to visit Tadoba, I would highly recommend Whitehouse Farms

Our very first Safari experience wouldn't have been special if it weren't for Mr. Mukherjee hosting us at Whitehouse Farms early Feb '24!! Mr. Mukherjee was a Super & a hands on host - from arranging our to/from airport transfers, to our Safari gates, great meals & refreshments throughout the day, evening campfires; and of course his wonderful company. The property itself is large, spacious & comfortable for family/friend groups to visit. Mr. Mukherjee went over & above to take us around; and shared his knowledge & passion about Tigers. Overall a delightful experience, thanks for making our visit great!

We had a delightful stay of 2 nights as a family at Whitehouse farms located near the kolara gate of the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. The property is located right on the main road and is accessible quite easily. It is also near multiple gates of the reserve - Kolara, Madnapur, Palasgaon, Alijanza, Sirkhada to name a few. We were a family of 5 occupying two rooms and had exclusive access to the entire farmhouse during our stay. The rooms are spacious, well ventilated and are at par with any resort. The bathrooms are equally spacious and fitted with all amenities.||||Where Whitehouse farms wins hearts is at the service provided. The Host, Mr Indranil is a walking wildlife library. Even before we booked the property, he helped us book the safari and helped us pick the best gates according to our timeslots. He ensured that we took the best route on our journey from Hyderabad and even guided us through the phone when google maps sent us on a wild goose chase through the interior villages of Chimur. He was personally present at the property to welcome us and ensured that we settled in nicely. He was also considerate to ask us our dietary preferences much before the date of travel and had the staff prepare delicious homecooked meals. He knew the place in and out and even dropped us to the gates that were a couple of kms away for our Safaris and ensured that we get the best guides for each of them. He also ensured that we had delicious packed snacks throughout all our safaris so that we were never hungry at any point of the trip.||||We were lucky to spot 2 adult male tigers on our last leg of Safari at the Alizanja gate and Mr Indranil was our lucky charm. He also organized a campfire on the terrace on our last night which we thoroughly enjoyed thanks to the chilly weather. The entire experience at Whitehouse farms was hassle free and relaxing and we had a fabulous weekend experience witnessing the glorious wildlife that Tadoba has to offer. We will surely be back for new adventures at Whitehouse farms.

Now with respect to Whitehouse Farms:

- Rooms are hygienic and well maintained
- Very spacious and accommodating
- The people working there were very helpful
- The food was tasty but basic, a few more options would have been appreciated

Mr. Indarnil Mukherjee was so helpful in arranging everything for us - right from tiger safari to the evening campfire ! He was the perfect host anyone can ever have! He also accompanied us in safaris! His knowledge of tiger safaris helped us spot tigers! Kudos to you sir!

He was so welcoming that us and other guests in the property became like close family/friends - we had a great great time!

Thank you for making our stay memorable!

This is THE PLACE to stay when you are in the TATR. The property has large rooms, spacious bathrooms, closets, king-size beds, balconies - all very, very well-maintained! And, thankfully, no fancy swimming pool, which, in my opinion, distracts people from gathering around the campfire in the evening for swapping their tales of the forest. As if to encourage that, this property has a nice setting in the form of a large open terrace on its first floor that overlooks the vastness around and provides a glimpse of the forest in the not so distant horizon. This property is also ideally situated for accessing many gates of this famed tiger reserve, one of them being the gate to the Colara core zone, so you do not have to waste your resources in reaching those gates.

Food is super good and all freshly cooked. For the morning safari a breakfast hamper is provided in the jeep which you enjoy in one of the enclosures designated by the forest department. Upon returning, another serving of breakfast you are urged to help yourself with. The lunch is a grand affair complete with dessert. For the afternoon safari you are supplied with tea and snacks. Evening delights are the kababs and pakodas. Dinner is lavish with quality dishes, all freshly cooked and steaming hot.

Such a dream facility would not have been actually realized unless one looked at it from a visitor's point of view. The man behind the thought is the actual driving force when you are there. Mr. Indranil Mukherjee. He was a top shot in the corporate world, but more than that, he has ever been an avid wildlife enthusiast and a perfect host! He is proactive when it comes to looking after his guests. Always full of energy and ever eager to go out of his way to see to your comfort. He even arranged all the safaris for us and also the pickup-n-drop trips from and to Nagpur. He being an expert in the ways of the TATR wildlife, I completely went with his advice on selection of entry gates. As a result, we were rewarded with the sightings of 10 different tigers on our 6 safaris besides most of the other fauna! An awesome 'strike-rate' I would say. We fondly remember the great evenings we spent with him swapping wildlife-yarns.

We have already decided to make Whitehouse Farms, Tadoba our go-to wildlife resort whenever we are in TATR. Thank you Mr. Mukherjee for everything!
