What people say.

I highly recommend the Special Maharaja Cottage for your summer stay. The food at Gol Ghar is excellent, though alcohol is unavailable. Don't miss the morning safari for high chances of wild animal sightings.

Bandipur Safari Lodge offers breathtaking birdwatching and elephant sightings. Morning safaris (6-9AM) are ideal. Knowledgeable naturalists guide exciting jeep tours. Unforgettable experience; highly recommended!

Buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the package. There are no additional entry fees for both safaris. I strongly recommend carrying binoculars for the jungle safari. If lucky, Tigers and Leopards may be spotted.

jungle safari at bandipur national park price

Once the private hunting grounds of the maharaja, Bandipur is unapologetically wild terrain. Elephants roam in large herds, deer stare at you brazenly and peafowl flit in and out as they deem fit. Nestled at the foothills of the Nilgiris, Bandipur has had a long tryst with tigers. One of the thirty reserves identified across the country to save the tiger and its habitat, it’s also one of the last refuges of the endangered Asiatic wild elephant. The Bandipur Safari Lodge is your way of being a part of this ecological haven.

We all have a role to play in maintaining the ecological balance. Nothing makes you more aware of how much we take for granted than a visit to the wild. Be prepared to leave an environmental activist, as the wildlife experience is known to touch the deepest recesses of your mind.

The sheer majesty of elephants so aware of their power, the enormity of the forest and its ancient secrets, the unblinking gaur that dares you to try stare him down, and if you’re lucky, a glimpse of a tiger or leopard, arrogance clearly written on their feline features: is a resounding lesson in learning to respect nature. Our guests are taken every evening to the jungle with a trained naturalist for company.

Bird-lovers will not suffer for company. With over two hundred species of birds including peafowl, hornbills, woodpeckers, the Crested Hawk Eagle, wagtails, blue jays, partridges, etc. one can spend hours trying to spot as many of these brightly hued winged creatures as possible.

The premises are filled with herbs, medicinal and ornamental plants. The garden, by itself, inspires the naturalist in you. If ever your curiosity gets ahead of your knowledge, our naturalists are at hand: they’ll clear any doubts you might have. End the day on a peaceful note, with the cicadas taking over the night shift from the birds: the perfect accompaniment to your campfire barbecue dinner.

Though Bandipur is around-the-year tourist destination, summers are the best time for wildlife sightings. March to May being the dry season, the animals come out of hiding and can be spotted by the watering holes. But for bird-watchers, the winter months are a better bet, for November to January, many migratory birds from the North, especially the Himalayas come down south to roost.

The jeep ground to a halt and the engine was killed, abruptly leaving us with the lush silence of the forest. An unseen flame-back called. And then we heard it – a branch broken, intermittent noises coming progressively closer, the thud of logs or stones being dislodged, and the crack of six-inch boles being snapped effortlessly.

“Can you hear that, madam?” Basavanna, our naturalist, turned around in his front seat and whispered. I strained my ears, not unlike the spotted deer we had seen some time back. The jungle seemed still, the cicadas having ceased their incessant song for the moment. I wondered what I should be hearing – a warning call, or perhaps some animal making its way

Beyond the Big Cats

There is a sense of excitement when one sets off on a safari: the nip in the air and the fragrance of a fresh forest waking up to the warm rays of the sun, all tingle the senses. What hidden treasures will the jungle reveal this time? This being our first visit to Bandipur National Park, the anticipation was even more! The jungle is an immersing experience of sights, sounds and smells; there is so much more to a forest than the big cats.

Bandipur National Park

Bandipur National Park, established in 1974 as a tiger reserve under Project Tiger, is a national park located in the Indian state of Karnataka, which is the state with the second-highest tiger population in India. These forests are contiguous with Nagarhole, Wayanad, and Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, hence providing safe haven for a number of species – notably the Indian Elephant and Royal Bengal Tiger.

Once a private Hunting Reserve for the Maharajas of Mysore, this landscape is now part of the Nilgiri Biosphere reserve – one of India’s conservation success stories.

Bandipur has a variety of biomes including dry deciduous forests, moist deciduous forests, and shrublands. The wide range of habitats helps support a diverse range of organisms. The park is flanked by the Kabini River in the north and the Moyar River in the south..

About Bandipur national Park

The open-ness of the Bandipur park provides for huge Elephant herds and one of the last strongholds of the Indian Wild Dogs – the extremely intelligent pack hunters of the Indian Forest. The Kabini River separates Bandipur from Nagarhole, yet the denizens are able to traverse freely between the 2 parks when the water levels recede.

The elusive Black (melanistic) Leopard has been spotted in Bandipur national park on more than one occasion, and it is believed that there are multiple individuals living inside the park. Therefore, it is safe to say that a tiger safari in India is incomplete without experiencing all that Bandipur National Park has to offer.

About Bandipur Safari Lodge

Bandipur is a lovely stretch of wild terrain, carefully preserved and protected so that the wild of Karnataka can ramble through their homes in peace. Once the private hunting grounds of the Maharaja, elephants roam in massive herds, deer gallop swiftly between trunks of mossy trees, and peafowl flit in and out of paths. The Bandipur Tiger Reserve and National Park is nestled at the foothills of the Nilgiris and is one of the thirty reserves identified across the country to save the tiger and its habitat. Within its sprawling premises, the Bandipur Safari Lodge offers you a chance at ecological tourism so that you can spot the spectacular wildlife and interact with them as they tread softly through the forest trails. Every evening, an in-house naturalist takes you through the forest, showing you how to examine animal tracks and educating you on the different animals that roam the jungle. 

Budding ornithologists and bird lovers will find a treasure trove of avian wildlife around the lodge. With over two hundred species of birds including peafowl, hornbills, woodpeckers, the Crested Hawk Eagle, wagtails, blue jays, partridges, etc. you can spend hours never tiring of spotting these beautiful creatures as they flock to the branches of trees. 

The flora in Bandipur is another unique point as the forest is filled with herbs, medicinal and ornamental plants. Just taking in these plants inspires the naturalist in you. You can take photographs of the leaves and flowers, and identify the species with the help of the naturalists at the lodge. It’s also great fun to sketch the luxuriant flora and artists will enjoy painting the vistas of the forests at Bandipur. As twilight falls, the jungle slowly falls asleep with a grayish-black gloom falling around you. Along with the rustling of leaves from the evening wind, the chirping of the cicadas gives rise to fluting music and this is the perfect accompaniment to your delicious campfire barbecue dinner.

Things to note

What customers are saying:.

  • There was an extra effort by the staff to keep the rooms sanitized, clean, and as safe as possible for the guest. I can't complain much about the room, it was well maintained, neat and had all the necessary items. FYI, there could be a lot of monkeys near the room so make sure you close all the windows and the main doors when you leave the room.
  • Located at the perfect place just outside of jungle. Very peaceful and calm place. The picture doesn’t do justice to this place natural beauty. The staff were really courteous and humble including the kitchen staff. We went on our anniversary and they had decorated our room so beautifully with a cake. That was a very good surprise for us.
  • The best part was the food, amazing and tasty freshly cooked after our order is taken. The staffs here are very kind and good hearted.
  • What a wonderful place and even better group of individuals. The entire staff at the resort and the safari guides and driver can rival the professionalism of any international five star hotel or even better them. Our naturalist and driver of the safari painstakingly ensured that we saw the tiger. The hotel staff was extremely attentive.
  • The safari drivers and naturalists are excellent. Our naturalist has been Nataraj every time we have been there. Warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. All safety protocols are observed. We are avid birders, so he ensures we get a good experience - a perfect mix of birding and sighting larger animals. The other naturalists are also extremely good.

Bandipur National Park is regarded as one of the most beautiful and better-managed national parks of India. Located amidst the picturesque surroundings of the towering Western Ghats on the Mysore-Ooty highway in Karnataka, it is an important part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve that constitutes Karnataka’s Rajiv Gandhi National Park ( Nagarahole ) to its Northwest, Tamil Nadu’s Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary to its South, and Kerala’s Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary to its Southwest. The total extent of Bandipur National Park is 872.24 sq km. It is located partly in Gundlupet taluk of Chamarajanagar District and partly in H.D.Kote and Nanjangud taluks of Mysuru District.

Once the private hunting grounds of the erstwhile Maharajas, and nestled at the foothills of the Nilgiris, Bandipur has had a long tryst with tigers. One of the thirty reserves identified across the country to save the tiger and its habitat, it’s also one of the last refuges of the endangered Asiatic wild elephant. Apart from the two famed residents, a number of other endangered species such as sloth bears, gaurs, Indian rock pythons, jackals, muggers, and four-horned antelopes can be spotted in this national park. Bandipur also shelters sambar, mouse deer, chital, sloth bear, and the rare flying lizard. Over 200 species of birds and a diversity of flora add to its attraction. Bandipur also supports a wide range of timber trees including teak, rosewood, sandalwood, Indian-laurel, Indian Kino tree, giant clumping bamboo, etc.

Bandipur Forest Safari:

Jungle Lodges and Resorts alone is now licensed to operate jeep safaris. Mini-bus safaris operated by the Forest Department begin from the range office. The bus safari is conducted between 6:15 am-9 am and 2:15 pm-5 pm. The fee is 350 INR per person. The jeep safari costs 3000 INR pax and is conducted between 6:15am-8am, 8am-9:45am, 2:30pm-4:30pm and 4:30pm-6:30pm. Trekking is now permitted in Bandipur. Elephant safaris have been discontinued.

Wonderful stay close to nature

Madhur Bothra

We travel-led with our kid and stayed at Bandipur safari lodge for a day (1 night. We didn't expect much as it was just a one-night halt and most of the time would go in safari but we were pleasantly surprised by the way all arrangements were made. An extra bed, blanket, towel for a kid, all was kept ready in our cottage when we checked in. The staff functions very meticulously and in a dedicated manner. Everything is well organized and timely. Food is homely, tasty, healthy and spread is decent too. Two safaris (one in the morning and one in the evening) are included in the package. Rooms are basic but neat n clean. There were two lovely sit-outs one in the front door and the other at the backdoor. We were stationed at the elephant cottage. Overall from stay to safari to food, everything was a pleasant experience. Would like to appreciate the dedication and courtesy of the staff. They always served us with a smile ) would suggest if you travel with kids or elders then take rooms near gol ghar which is their dinning area.

Best jlr ever!

Ritwika Dey

I stayed in bandipur jlr for one night with my childhood female friend and the first thing that i can vouch for this stay is it’s safety! we were two female travellers, so the amount of concern and hospitality we received was unparalleled! the staff made sure we felt comfortable and the food was delicious with quite a number of options including both veg and non-veg. Our safaris were excellent and in the first safari we spotted multiple animals like the indian gaur, sambar, elephant, deer's and many different types of birds. In the next safari, we finally spotted the leopard which sealed the deal for us. Our package included breakfast, lunch, tea and snacks and dinner along with two safaris and we must say that we felt it’s a home away from home. We look forward to coming back once again to spend some more nights in this amazing property!

Good experience

Sahajananda Reddy

Overall the experience is good. We went there while coming back from our Ooty trip to Bangalore. It is right on the road so reachability is not a problem at all. The Rooms are clean and gives a good feel to stay with a lot of trees and nature around. Food is great and has a homely touch and the staff is extremely courteous. The KA government is doing a fantastic job on jungle lodges. The Jungle Safari is also good. We have spotted deer, wild elephants, Mongoose, Bison and leopard on our evening safari. Morning Safari was breath taking with Panoramic views of the Nilgiri biosphere. We could not spot Tiger but other teams could see them. Its all luck! The only downside is its overcharged. But overall I recommend going there for one day stay.

Amazing safari and service

This was our first stay with jungle lodges and I was looking forward to it for a long time. The heavy rains put a (literal) damper on the Safari and bonfire, but the overall experience was still very positive. Great food and service. And the safari access is the best I have ever seen. On the downside, the rooms need to be updated, for the asking price. Also on the Safari, we had some really poorly behaved parents and children. Please give an option for people who don't want to be stuck with children to move to a separate Jeep. I really haven't come to the forests to listen to someone's poorly mannered brat.

Warm hospitality

Neelabh Gupta

We really enjoyed our stay at the resort. Rooms were spacious with a private seating space amidst nature and a hammock. Though the linens and the towels in the rooms need a revamp. They have air coolers in the room but AC would be better in the summer. Food was homely and really delicious. Above all it was the hospitality of the Bandipur Safari Lodge by Jungle Lodges staff which made our stay great. Good service at the buffet and even offered to prepare which is for our kid. We got two jeff Safari trips which started right from the comfort of our Bandipur Safari Lodge by Jungle Lodges.

All inclusive, well managed and all facilities including safari arranged by the property.

Vignesh Ram

The place is perfect. The location, the staff (well trained, kind and ever helpful, the safari arrangents are fantastic. The rooms are fabulous ( cottages are very spacious with a lot of space and a great sit out and a veranda. The food is all inclusive and is really very good. The food is simple and tasty. We went there for our anniversary. We had a fantastic set up for dinner by our room amazingly arranged and the cake was on the house. Overall a great experince and really kind people.

purva dhadphale

The place is peace and serene. Sounds of birds wake u up in the morning. Cottages are decent. With few lizards. But that's a given because of location. Food is delicious for vegetarian. Can't comment for non. Veg. Staff is super helpful and very polite. Very nice stay we n joyed a lot. A plus is that rooms don't have tv. This let's kids enjoy the nature more than external entertainment. Not a very lavish interior. But the cost includes stay, food, safari. Overall loved the place.

Excellent stay, safaris and service

Shruti Parija

First stay at a jlr property and it was the absolute best. The rooms are spacious and tastefully designed with a beautiful sitout, and the property has a lot of greenery with benches and walking paths. The safaris were nicely done with good and knowledgeable drivers. The food was delicious and all meals were served on a timely basis. The service was excellent and the staff is very helpful.
