A wildlife haven in the Kadu Kuruba tribe heartland

Providing wildlife and jungle adventures, an Ayurvedic spa, an infinity pool and great food, the resort’s stunning position close to Nagarhole and Bandipur National Parks translates into outstanding wildlife experiences and fascinating encounters with nature.
