Pench National Park Turia Gate, Turia Gate, Kohka, Madhya Pradesh, India
A wildlife-edged address on the buffer zone of Pench Tiger Reserve gives Sterling Pench a geographic credential that no urban ballroom or city hotel can replicate — events here unfold against a living forest backdrop, with the sounds of the Pench landscape framing every gathering. Sterling Pench, operated by Sterling Holidays, sits within the Turia gate zone of Kohka in Madhya Pradesh, placing it minutes from one of central India's most celebrated national parks. The property's eco-resort positioning means that every event is intentionally intimate, with a maximum capacity of 300 guests — a deliberate scale that keeps programme delivery personal and atmosphere genuinely unhurried.
Indoor and open-air event spaces at this property are configured for groups that prioritise setting as much as square footage. The primary indoor banquet hall accommodates seated dinners and conference sessions in theatre and classroom formats, while the outdoor lawn area — framed by resort greenery — allows for flexible floating arrangements, cocktail receptions, and alfresco dining setups for up to 300 guests. Pre-function zones adjacent to the hall allow registration desks, welcome stalls, and breakout counters to operate without crowding the main event floor. The jungle-adjacent resort event venue format means that arrival flow, from the resort entrance to the event space, itself becomes part of the guest experience.
The two event formats this location serves best are corporate off-sites and intimate destination celebrations. For corporate retreat planners, the physical remove from city distractions makes Pench an effective environment for leadership workshops, team-building programmes, and senior management conclaves — activities that benefit from natural surroundings, controlled group sizes, and on-site accommodation so delegates stay within the programme. For social celebrations, particularly mehendi functions, sangeet evenings, and pre-wedding gatherings, the forest-facing outdoor lawn delivers an aesthetic that staged decor alone cannot manufacture. It is worth noting that Sterling Pench operates within proximity to a protected wildlife buffer zone, which means décor involving open flames, amplified music beyond permissible hours, and large lighting rigs may be subject to local forest department guidelines — planners should confirm specific permissions during the pre-event coordination stage.
Sterling Holidays operates Sterling Pench as part of its established chain of leisure and nature resorts across India, bringing group booking infrastructure, standardised service protocols, and pre-event coordination support to what is otherwise a remote destination. The nearest major rail head is Seoni or Nagpur, with Nagpur's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport serving as the primary air access point approximately 90–95 kilometres from the property. Road connectivity through Kohka via Turia Gate Road is navigable for coach transfers, which Sterling's guest services team routinely coordinates for group arrivals. For planners managing delegate logistics from Nagpur, Mumbai, or Hyderabad, the transfer time from Nagpur airport is a practical planning variable worth building into the programme schedule.
Sterling Pench maintains an active listing on Spalba, where floor-plan references, capacity configurations, and enquiry tools are accessible directly. Planners evaluating this property alongside other Pench-region or Madhya Pradesh wildlife resort venues can use Spalba's comparison and shortlisting features to assess fit against brief requirements. Given the property's defined capacity ceiling of 300 guests and its location within a nature-sensitive zone, early-stage conversations with the venue team about dates, group size, and programme requirements will give planners the clearest picture of what this location can deliver — and whether its distinctive forest-edge character aligns with the event's intent.
