Bandipur Safari Lodge by Jungle Lodges

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!

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.

Bandipur and jlr are synonymous

For all wildlife enthusiasts and otherwise, if you're travel-ling to bandipur - one of the first set of national parks / reserves to be brought under the project tiger programme. Jungle lodges and resorts' bandipur safari lodge is conveniently located on the highway that cuts across the reserve forest area in karnataka. The accommodation and dining facilities are good, food quality is very good. The dining hall - gol ghar is the place where you get to meet up with fellow boarders during meal time. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are part of their buffet meals. The staff at the property are very courteous and helpful. The safari starts right at the gate and hence is very convenient.

1 day stay with the safari package

Lavanya Krishnan

The rooms were pretty similar to the pictures. Basic but comfortable and very clean. Hygiene was maintained well. Food was very good (i tried only the vegetarian options. Our package included all three meals, evening snacks and tea/coffee. Food was ready on time and had a lot of healthy options as well. The highlight was the safari though. Our package included 2 safaris and both were very well planned. The guide who came with us took a lot of efforts to spot a tiger and gave us a lot of insights about the forest, animals etc. Very friendly staff, hassle free safari experience, good food and hygienic rooms. Overall a very good experience

Amazing safari and service

ARUN BHAT

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.

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.

Excellent Stay

Supriya Garg

staff is very courteous. it’s the best place to stay in the midst of nature with just what you need. big property with not much amenities but then those are not needed. great experience of safari as well. Bandipur Safari Lodge by Jungle Lodges provided a trip to gopalaswamy temple as well which was a great experience with beautiful views. a place to visit and experience.

Very helpful staff

Pankhury kumari

Loved the warmth and hospitality with awesome ambience. Food was excellent.

Nice location to stay

Radhakrishsnan Ramachandran

Very decent place to stay. Make a pleasure trip to enjoy the beauty of the Jungle. Safari was good but we were not so lucky to spot the wilderness. Overall it was a great experience.

Best way to the forest

Niyati Nagda

Bandipur safari lodge is about 5 to 10mins from the safari booking window. The best part is the no hassle experience as safari, meals and stay all is included in the price you pay. They genuinely stick to the itinerary and meals are awesome. They were kind enough to accommodate and prepare special delicious jain meals for a few of us. Best choice

Very good location for family vacation

AMIT AGARWAL

We enjoyed family vacation at jungle lodge

Get closer to the nature

Ashok Dharmalingam

It has been awesome experience every time i stay in bandipur safari lodge. Though the tariff is on the higher side, people in the resort will value the money spent and ensure you go back with memories. Resort management will do things beyond our expectations. Best place for people who wanted to get closer with nature and enjoys wildlife safaris.

Shubhra Shanker Vinay

Food - was well made and good taste property location- average as it is on the main road would have preferred of tucked into the interior a bit. Amneities- average, was looking for couch to relax just like any other resorts offer services - good safari supportive for family with kids abed the guide was knowledgeable about the wild animals behaviour.

Loved the stay at Bandipur Safari lodge. The rooms are clean and well maintained, the staff extremely friendly and the food is the best part of the stay. Lovely property full of greenery. Safari was really good, pity we couldn't see any tigers, but so plenty elephants, deers, peacocks, wild birds etc

Tranquil stay in a jungle

Ajay M C

The property is maintained well with good dining options for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful of your requests. The amenities are basic for the price but manageable. Overall it is the right place if you want to enjoy a peaceful stay at bandipur forest.
