Welcome to Wild Retreats
At Wild Retreats, we believe that the true essence of travel lies not in luxury resorts, but in the raw, unfiltered beauty of nature. Our mission is to connect adventure seekers and nature lovers with the untamed wilderness of India through immersive, eco-conscious jungle camps and nature retreats.

We curate unforgettable outdoor experiences across India’s most breathtaking landscapes—from the dense jungles of Bandhavgarh to the mist-laced hills of the Western Ghats. Every retreat we feature is carefully selected for its commitment to sustainability, safety, and authentic connection with the natural world.

About the Creator
Wild Retreats was founded by Serena Blythe, a lifelong explorer with a deep reverence for nature. Though based in Wellington, New Zealand, Serena’s passion for India’s biodiversity began during a solo trek through the Nilgiris over a decade ago. Since then, she has spent years collaborating with local guides, conservationists, and community-led initiatives to bring travelers closer to India’s wild heart—without disturbing it.
Why This Website Exists
Too many travel experiences today feel manufactured—overcrowded, commercialized, disconnected. Serena created Wild Retreats to counter that trend. She wanted a space where travelers could find honest, beautifully curated adventures that honor the land, its creatures, and the people who protect it. This isn’t just a travel blog—it’s a call to explore with intention.
Our Values/Approach
We prioritize sustainability, transparency, and authenticity above all. Every listing is vetted for environmental impact, fair labor practices, and cultural respect. We don’t accept paid promotions. Our reviews are honest, our photos are real, and our recommendations come from personal experience or trusted local partnerships. We believe that the best adventures leave no trace—except wonder.
