A Tryst with Wildlife |
|||||||||
|
Situated in the midst
of the Western Ghats of Chikmaglur district in Karnataka, surrounded
by the lofty hill ranges of Babubudangiri. The River Tern Lodge
is a perfect blend of nature and wildlife. The lodge gets its name
from the congregation of thousands of River Terns during their breeding
on a nearby island. Indeed a spectacular sight to behold! You can
get mesmerized by observing their preening, feeding, cackling and
many interesting antics. It is located on a hillock, at the edge
of the picturesque Bhadra River, near Lakkavalli, adjoining the
northern boundaries of the Bhadra Tiger Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary.
Soft waves of backwaters of the river lash the edge periodically,
harmonizing the sounds of nature, to put you in a perfect state
of bliss. The River Tern Lodge is the ideal spot to get acquainted
with nature in its serene beauty.
The River Tern Lodge has currently ten twin-bedded accommodations
- five cottages and five log cabins with cozy interiors to ensure
nothing but pure serenity and privacy. Each room has a veranda overlooking
the tranquil waters of the Bhadra Reservoir and not to mention the
spectacular view of the sunset over the backwaters. To appreciate
nature, it is consciously decided not to have TVs in the rooms.
Apart from wildlife viewing through exciting jeep rides into the
Bhadra Tiger Reserve Wildlife Sanctuary, which is about 4km from
the resort, there are water based adventures such as sailing, kayaking,
water cycle, water trampoline, joy fishing on offer. A boat ride
on the backwaters of the Bhadra Reservoir can also yield great wildlife
viewing opportunities. Other activities include guided trekking,
island camping, bird watching, mountain biking, rock climbing for
children and star gazing. Visits to Tyverekoppa Lion and Tiger Safari
and to the Sakkrebyle Elephant camp are also options at the River
Tern Lodge .
The Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary boasts of rich avian life with birds
like the Grey junglefowl, Red spurfowl, Painted bush quail, Emerald
dove, Southern green imperial pigeon, Great black woodpecker, Malabar
parakeet and Hill myna just to name a few. While among the reptiles,
the Marsh crocodiles are usually found in the upstream stretches
of the Bhadra River and Monitor lizards are also a common sight.
The Common otter and the Smooth Indian otter can usually be sighted
at the Bhadra Reservoir. Gaur certainly are the pride of Bhadra
which is a common sight. Leopards are also fairly common, particularly
in the Lakkavalli area. Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary has been recently
adopted under ‘Project Tiger’. |
