A Lawn Set Against the Wilderness

The Lawn at WelcomHeritage Tadoba Vanya Villas Resort & Spa is an open-air event space that draws its character directly from its surroundings — the unspoiled buffer zone of Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve in Kolara, Maharashtra. Unlike urban banquet venues, this space offers something genuinely rare: a celebration ground where the ambient soundscape is birdsong and forest breeze rather than city noise. The setting gives events an organic, unhurried quality that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. Whether guests arrive at dusk or gather under a canopy of stars, the lawn creates a natural atmosphere that no decorator can manufacture from scratch.

The Vanya Villas Resort & Spa itself is a boutique wildlife retreat, and the Lawn reflects that philosophy — intimate, rooted in place, and attentive to the natural environment around it. Warm lighting against the backdrop of the jungle canopy lends itself beautifully to evening events, and the open sky makes the space feel expansive even for a relatively contained gathering.

Events & Occasions

The Lawn is well suited to smaller-scale celebrations and gatherings where atmosphere matters as much as logistics. Intimate destination weddings and pre-wedding functions such as mehndi or sangeet ceremonies find a particularly evocative setting here, with the forest edge forming a natural backdrop for photography and decor. Corporate retreats, team offsites, and private dinners organised around a wildlife experience also translate naturally to this space — groups that have spent the day on a jungle safari often continue the mood with an alfresco evening gathering on the lawn.

Social milestones — anniversaries, milestone birthdays, family reunions — benefit from the resort's signature blend of exclusivity and wildness. Because Tadoba is one of Maharashtra's most celebrated tiger reserves and among India's well-regarded wildlife destinations, guests travelling from Nagpur or further afield are already in a heightened, celebratory frame of mind by the time they arrive, which an outdoor venue like the Lawn is perfectly placed to capitalise on.

Location & Getting Here

Kolara is a village on the edge of the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. The nearest commercial airport is Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in Nagpur, which is roughly 140 kilometres from Kolara, making it the primary arrival point for guests flying in from Mumbai, Delhi, and other major cities. Chandrapur railway station is the closest railhead for guests preferring train travel. The resort's secluded position within the buffer zone of the reserve means that reaching it is part of the experience — guests pass through forest landscape on the final approach, setting the tone well before they check in.

For event planners, the relative seclusion of the location is both the venue's defining asset and a logistical consideration worth planning around. Working with the resort's events team early in the process allows groups to coordinate transfers, accommodation, and timing around the reserve's own activity schedule, ensuring the Lawn and the broader wilderness experience complement each other seamlessly.
