With so many attractions, it is not surprising that the place is visited by tourists from around the world. When it comes to accommodation options, there is plenty of choice to choose from. Some of the Best Resorts in Bandipur are within the vicinity of the National Park area.

One of the best things about the Bandipur National Park is that several small rivulets flow through this region.

Staying in any of the Bandipur Jungle Resorts would offer you the best way to enjoy the flora and fauna of the place. Remember, Bandipur is one of the sites chosen for “Project Tiger”, which has been formed to protect the endangered Indian tiger. The number of tigers in Bandipur has gradually registered an increase in recent times. Staying in any of the jungle resorts is a great way to see the great cat at close quarters.

Apart from the tiger, you can also find several other types of animals including, the deer, sambar, elephants, python, patridges and panther in the region. You can also find several unique species of birds in the forest area. 

The Karnataka tourism board has several jungle houses located within the National Park. You need to book in advance in order to stay in these beautiful jungle houses. This is especially true during summer times when a lot of tourists flock this National Park to enjoy its many natural splendors.

You can also check with the forest authorities, who regularly organized trekking trips which would enable you to enjoy the deep woods at close quarters. Campfires inside the jungle with friends or family are an excellent way to enjoy the gifts of nature and in fact one of the most popular ways tourists enjoy their vacation here.

While there is no dearth of hotels and resorts in the area, there is nothing like experiencing the beauty of the forest while staying in a cottage or hut that is perched on top of a tree. You can find several resorts providing these cute little huts with all modern amenities from where you can enjoy a quiet vacation, occasionally disturbed by the sound of animals moving about or by the chirping birds.
