General

Bandipur Safari Lodge

A tranquil stay at the Bandipur Safari Lodge, up close to the jungle experience combined with world class hospitality.

Snuggled up at the foot hills of the enchanting Blue Mountains is Bandipur, a majestic wild terrain famous for its ferocious tigers and the endangered Asiatic wild elephants. Bandipur’s Tiger Reserve is one of the few reserves in India that preserves tigers in their natural habitat. Ferocious leopards and gaurs  coexist in a symbiotic balance with delicate pea fowls, deer,  and a wide array of colorful birds. It is this diversity that makes the Bandipur experience an unparalleled and irresistible  exuberance. This Lodge is part of the legacy left behind by a historic movement called The Jungle Lodges and Resorts Eco Tourism which pioneered setting up hideouts in the jungle for the common man to relax, rejuvenate, and become aware of wild life preservation.

Set in the lap of the mystical woods, Bandipur Safari Lodge comprises of 10 special cottages and 12 regular cottages which together accommodate 60 guests in its serene rustic beauty. The cottages are artfully crafted with natural building materials that complement the terrain and are presented with a contemporary twist, to transform your stay into cherished memories. World class cuisine is served according to the palate of Indian and foreign taste buds.

The lush forest in the vicinity ensures the atmosphere stays cool at all times eliminating the need for air conditioners at Bandipur Safari Lodge. The ambiance is accentuated by stunning ornamental plants and the aroma of natural and medicinal herbs that adorn the premises.

When the sun sets, sounds of the jungle transform into cicadas’ hums from the chirp of birds. But when you snuggle up in your cottages to kick back and relax in the comfy beds, the only thing that might keep you awake will be your excitement about the next morning’s Jeep safari through the National Park.

Things to do

An exciting Jeep safari into the Bandipur Tiger Reserve and Bandipur National Park, assisted by trained naturalists gets every guest one-on-one and up close with the majestic wilderness. You will agree that the pictures you saw in travelogues or the videos you have seen on wildlife channels failed to include this one dimension—that of thrill on experiencing it all in real! The astonishment you experience while tigers, leopards, wild elephants, deer, pea fowls, gaur, as well as melodious and colorful birds appear before you is beyond your imagination.

Guides who assist at the safaris are well-versed with the jungle and will assist you in spotting the wild animals. It’s a heaven for wild life photography enthusiasts because the beauty of nature and the ruggedness of its beasts can be captured in the same frame.

A passionate bird watcher can lose himself in the beautiful array of birds including hornbills, wood peckers, wagtails , crested hawk eagles, blue jays and partridges as also Himalayan migratory birds during the winter months.

Pause a moment to take a deep breath and soak up the serene tranquility of the enormous forest and its raw natural beauty, to unwind from the hustle and bustle of hectic lifestyles; go for a nature walk and come back rejuvenated as from a natural spa.

Naturalists are at your service to satisfy the queries of the budding botanist in you about the wide array of fauna on the Bandipur Safari Lodge premises.

‘Gol Ghar’, the dining area near the camp fire, is where guests meet and exchange stories of the day over a sumptuous dinner. A wildlife film show is also aired in the conference hall every night.

Before slipping into slumber, peek through your windows to admire the picturesque night sky painted with innumerable twinkling stars and clean clouds, a rare site for metro-dwellers. If you are in the mood for more outdoor adventure, you can drive up to the nearby Gopalaswamy Temple, visit the Kabini River Lodge or head for Ooty.
