We experienced the best hospitality by the staff of Bandipur Safari Lodge. Though we reached late for the evening safari, the Jungle Lodges staff arranged a 20 seater bus for just 2 of us as all the jeeps had left! Stay at the Bandipur Safari Lodge guarantees you a place in the safari at Bandipur Tiger reserve. The food was... More

Disappointing, could hear highway traffic all the time as it is smack on the road. The price was too much for what it was. The food was below average. Only saving grace was the safari which one can easily do as a day trip from Mysore. Leave Mysore at 1pm after lunch and arrive at the forest entrance in a... More

Stayed for two nights, was a great experience. Love the schedule with the safari in the morning and evening, the temple at noon, and the nature movie at night. The room was basic but clean and had a beautiful elephant theme. One complaint is the guides need to be prompted to say anything, would have been nice if there was... More

Is this the Jungle Lodge? This lodge has all the style of a motorway service station. This is not surprising given that it is built right on the highway from Mysore to Ooty. This theme continues as you enter through the car park with the reception then reached on foot by walking through the kitchen. The cottages look like temporary... More

We went to the jungle lodges bandipur resort for one night on 24th Decemeber, 2012. We had a good time mainly because of the great safari. My two boys (aged 9 and 16 years) enjoyed the jeep safaris (once in the evening and one in the early morning). Though we couldn't sight a tiger we did see many other animals... More

Located right on the highway, and close to the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, it is less than 2 hours' drive from Mysore. A swimming pool could make it really more attractive. @5500/person/night this is an expensive property. If you plan to stay one day while on way to Ooty or from there, and if you have good Safari sightings, you could... More

Located just on the outskirts of the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, this place is ideally located for visits to the wilds. It is an ideal place to start on jungle safaris for guests who are staying overnight. Staff is courteous and helpful but the food is extremely pricy, ordinary and mediocre. One pays far too much. Rooms are simple, clean and... More

We stayed in this place for 2 days in oct 2010. Nice place. Beautiful and calm surrounding. They had arranged for safaris on time. We were provided with snacks on returning from safari. The food in the other time was very mediocre. There was no interaction between the hotel staff and the guests to find out what they want. The... More
