Bandipur Safari Lodge is an eco-friendly establishment, owned by the Government of Karnataka. It is an ideal place to stay if you are planning to visit and explore Bandipur National Park, located on the outskirts of which the property is located. The lodge with its 12 cottages and 10 special cottages provides accommodation to travellers. These cottages have attached bathrooms with basic amenities, but are bereft of televisions and air-conditioners. A natural cool breeze blows past the region more than compensating for the unavailability of artificial air conditioning. Some cottages have pure white walls and ceilings, and the walls behind the twin beds are decorated with large 3D paintings of animals in their natural surroundings. Such unique interiors will give you the feeling of being on a wildlife safari at Bandipur, even though you will be in your rooms.

The other cottages have brick walls, tiled floors and slanting wooden ceilings. Additionally, all cottages have comfortable chairs, set in front of large windows of clear glass to look at the scenery all around the lodge. You could even sit out on the balconies of all rooms to bask in the sun and enjoy the calming cool breeze. All cottages are built on gently sloping hills and they are kept apart from each other, so you get complete privacy while staying here. As is the case with all properties, owned by Jungle Lodges and Resorts, the large circular gazebo here is named Gol Ghar. This is where you will dine along with other guests of Bandipur Safari Lodge while beholding the Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta Peak. You may also relish your meals at the proper multi-cuisine restaurant within the premises of the lodge.

The food served here includes South Indian delicacies and also popular Chinese and Thai preparations for diners with varied tastes. Evenings here are a time for fun and frolic, and you could sing, dance or share stories around a bright and warm bonfire. You will find a good selection of liquors and other alcoholic beverages at the exclusive full-fledged bar of the establishment. Another mode of entertainment here is a comfortable lounge, where videos about wildlife and also books on the same topic can be found. A trip to the lodge and the region is perhaps incomplete without embarking on a wildlife safari Bandipur. You could take such expeditions on a Jeep or foot, combining the joys of wildlife spotting and trekking through thick jungles. To be really close to nature, you may opt for elephant rides through the national park.
