The Safari Lodge - Bandipur |
|||||||||
|
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 Safari Lodge is built along
the lines of contemporary architectural style with a maximum capacity
of 24 persons at a time. There are twelve 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.
The exclusive banquet area called the Gol Ghar (circular, open-to
sides marquee) is a specialty of Jungle Lodges and offers a platform
for interaction with other guests. The open-top jeeps take you on
a safari into the Tiger Reserve every evening. To enjoy the wilder
side of life, sit around the campfire area and unwind yourself in
the barbeque and the background humming of a guitar. There is also
a restaurant and bar facility provided for the day visitors and
highway commuters. Safari Lodge specializes in serving a delectable
buffet of South Indian, North Indian, Chinese and Continental cuisine.
We offer guests both vegetarian an non-vegetarian dishes.
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 an open-top 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
Bandipur opens before you a plethora of wildlife, which fascinates
your imagination and educates about the need for biological conservation.
Bandipur forests with its deciduous habitat is the ideal spot for
viewing animals like elephant, gaur, wild boar, sambhar, spotted
deer or wild dogs and there is always the bonus of sighting the
elusive predators like tiger or leopard. |
