Bandipur Safari Lodge, By Junglelodges. - Resort hotel in Mel Kamanahalli - Chamarajanagara, India

Highly Recommend Bandipur Safari Jungle Lodges. Rooms are clean, good food and the hospitality is very good. Staffs are always available and very helpful. Special mention for the safari drivers and their experience. We could spot sloth bear, leopard, mongoose, gaur and elephant.

The room was clean. The safari was organized well however some people didn't like their seating arrangement and were arguing with the staff which resulted in a bit of a late departure. Our driver wasn't the greatest and unfortunately we didn't see any tigers or leopards, but that's all attributed to luck. The food was excellent with plenty of options.

This proper is a great place to stay and enjoy Bandipur pleasantness. The food was good and the hospitality was very well coordinated, someone was always there to assist us. Rooms were also very good, pretty huge, loved it. Bed could have been a queen sized rather than 2 single beds joined. Reducing 1 star as the property seemed a bit overpriced as we were charged 8k per head. Had it been around 6k, I would rate it a 5 star experience. The washroom quality also needs improvement.

Best place to relax and enjoy nature. Very good service by this lodge. Rooms are spacious, well furnished, neat & clean. Staff are very courteous, friendly and caring. Food is good, not spicy with adequate variety. Both veg and non-veg are served. Tiger safari was enjoyable, could see a tiger, leopard, bear etc. Highly recommended.

Great experience. Serene atmosphere. Excellent service & well displayed catering. Personalised service. Drivers of Safari take too much pain to ensure sighting of tigers. Will visit again & recommend others

Starting with the room, it's very basic but good considering the location. There are resorts in the vicinity with better rooms but cost around 20k per night. The property itself is quite beautiful, especially in the morning when you hear the birds chirping. No complaints with the food for all 3 meals. The main highlight is clearly the safari, one in the evening and then early morning next day. We were not fortunate enough to spot a tiger however we were told that the best time to see the big cats is from Feb to May.

Firstly the resort is just beside the highway which makes it different from all other JLR properties. This is the first time we didn't enjoy the JLR experience. The rooms were really well made, loved the decor, the size of the room and the lighting, however, the food was average and the experience with hospitality wasn't great. The safari guide wasn't good at all. He stopped for every elephant along the way for a long time, without even bothering to track any big cat. I know that finding a big cat is based on luck, but the guide needs to be enthusiastic about it, and that's the JLR experience we love and we missed here. It felt more of a give and take sort of place and felt commercial and fishing for tips all the time. Hope they can take note and improve on this.

Great value for money. The cottages are very spacious and lot of privacy. Had sufficient food choices for both vegetarian and non vegetarians. Staff was very courteous and friendly. The best part of our stay was the jungle safari organized by the JLR. We were lucky to spot leopards and tiger in both our Safaris. One of the best experiences.
