India's most iconic treehouse eco-resort — 30-45ft treehouses in Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot, 65 km from Pune
The Machan is India's most celebrated treehouse eco-resort, perched 30–45 feet above the forest floor in Jambulne — one of the world's 25 biological hotspots and a UNESCO Western Ghats Heritage Site, 65 km from Pune. The Starlight Machan is the crown jewel: a luxury treehouse with a retractable transparent roof for monsoon rain showers and winter stargazing, four-poster bed, outdoor rainfall shower, bathtub on the private deck, and a plunge pool below. Carbon-neutral, solar-powered, with organic toiletries and greywater recycling. No televisions in rooms — deliberately. Instead, guests explore 4 km of marked forest trails, go birding in one of India's richest bird zones, or trek to Rajmachi and Tiger's Leap. Free breakfast included. The Machan is not just a stay — it is a once-in-a-lifetime forest experience near Pune.
