KABINI (NAGARAHOLE)

This property is 30 acres, situated on the fringes of Nagarahole National Park (Rajiv Gandhi National Park) 20mins Drive to Kabini Backwaters. We provide simple farm house accommodation, very well neat maintained which has three rooms & one Dormitory, ideal for wildlife loving families / wildlife photographers / weekend getaways. The property is secured using solar fence against any unwanted intruders.

The River Kabini is a great place to visit any time of the year. But during the sweltering months of March, April and May, the pools and springs in the forest dry up, bringing the animals to the banks of the River Kabini. Here you get to see the largest congregation of Asiatic Elephants in the wild. The monsoons (July, August and September) has the trees lush and thick, but promise fewer animal sightings. The other months promise a fair chance of animal and bird sightings. The safari inside the forest will be cancelled in case of heavy rains.

Witnessing the wild rousing from its slumber is a life changing experience. The forests of the Nagarahole National Park abound in herds of elephant, Sambar and spotted deer, wild boar, sloth bear, Gaur and occasionally tiger and leopard. Once this was the hunting ground of Maharaja of Mysore.

We offer all meals package with very tasty local cuisine (Ragi Muddhe meals) with fresh greens & vegetables. Non vegetarian food is cooked only on request.
