Bandipur Safari Lodge

 

Nature Heritage Resort, Bandhavgarh

Bandipur Safari Lodge is located halfway down the Mysore-Ooty road adjacent to the world-renowned Bandipur National Park. The mountain breeze flowing down the vales of the picturesque Nilgiris invites you to this perfect backdrop for a wildlife safari. Nestling in the foothills of the Nilgiris, the Bandipur National Park was formed by extending the Venugopal Wildlife Park, set up in 1931 by the Mysore Maharajas. It is now one of the tiger reserves in the country. It also forms a part of Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, which is the one of the last refuges of endangered Asiatic wild elephants.

Bandipur a Project Tiger Reserve, one of 30 such reserves across India for Project Tiger, a scheme launched in 1973 by the Government of India, to save the tiger and its habitat.

Bandipur Safari Lodge is built along the lines of contemporary architectural style with a maximum capacity of 44 persons at a time. There are twenty two well-furnished, elegant rooms with modern amenities and spacious bath to relax your senses. (But there is no A/c or T.V. in any of the accommodation). The campus is dotted with medicinal and ornamental plants and the panoramic view of the surrounding hillocks instills the naturalist in you.

Activities :

Nature Heritage Resort, Bandhavgarh

The major attraction of Safari Lodge is its wildlife expeditions into the Bandipur National Park. The trips are slated for the best periods of wildlife sighting, i.e. at the daybreak and in the evening. One of them will be a ride in a jeep and in the other guests are taken for a trek guided by a conversant and experienced naturalist who will initiate you to the mysterious landscapes of nature. For those who want an arduous workout, there is no greater challenge than hiking the heights of Gopalswamy Betta or down the slopes of the Moyar Gorge. Bird watching, wildlife viewing and photography can have no better opportunity than a walk on this treasure trove of natural features.

Season :


Even though Bandipur is a preferred tourist destination the year round, the summer season from March to May is most appropriate for wildlife sighting as the forest is dry and visibility is high. During these months, the animals usually congregate near the limited waterholes and the heat forces even the rare animals out of their concealment. But for bird watchers, the winter months of November to January is also important, as the southern states receive a large number of migratory birds from the North, especially Himalayas. For trekking, the post-monsoon months before the hard summer are most suitable.
