The rooms at Diphlu are arranged as individual cottages, set on stilts, and provide comfortable accommodation with private balconies. To encourage guests to really immerse in the surroundings, rooms do not come equipped with TVs but they do have air conditioning and provide a lovely welcome home after days on safari.

As a small and intimate property, meals are served in the main Machan and the rice and vegetables are farmed onsite to produce the continental, north Indian and local dishes served. Included in the stay are daily game drives and even though tigers are generaly difficult to spot in the area due to the long grasses, there is a huge amount to see over this including an amazing array of birdlife for which the park is known for. Outside of the lodge and the experiences offered, visits to local villages, rubber plantations and tea gardens can all be arranged.
