Palette Resorts - Bandipur Safari Lodge

We visited,Bandipur, Kabini and Bannerghatta once again.. Everything was organised by Jagdish from Getaways India, who we have used ***y ***y times. Our driver was polite, safe, well ***nered, accommodation as expected, safaris fabulous. India is our happy place 😁

This resort is ranked among the top jungle retreats in Bandipur. It is ***aged and maintained by the Karnataka Government and features an extensive layout. Tucked within the lodging facilities is the dining area, where guests are served three meals daily: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ***** with evening snacks. The cuisine was delectable. Our stay in the Maharaja rooms included capacious accommodations with expansive bathrooms . The rooms came furnished with necessities such as toiletries, towels, and dental kits. The resort's package offers two safaris each day, plus an extra bus tour to Himavat Gopala Swami Betta. The safari outings were the pinnacle of our trip; we observed numerous Spotted deer, Gaur, elephants, Sambar deer, Mongoose, Sloth bears, and a wide variety of birds. My family's stay at this resort was delightful.

The Bandipur Safari Lodge is the best place to explore the Bandipur Tiger Reserve. Their package includes all meals and two safaris a day. The naturalists who take you in a jeep are ver knowledgeable and patient. The staff are always smiling and extremely helpful. The food too was good. And because of the experience and knowledge of the naturalists, we saw 4 different tigers and a leopard in 4 safaris. We saw ***y other animals and birds like elephants, deer, jungle fowl, gaur, etc. The two day stay was an extremely memorable trip, thanks to all the staff.

This place is a must visit for all wildlife and nature enthusiasts. The staff are very competent and courteous. Food is very good and accommodation great. The best part of course is the jungle safaris that they take you to in open vehicles. Our driver Pradeep was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the entire forest. We were lucky to have sighted Sambar, Indian gaur, deer including barking deer, *****e necked mongoose, elephants and finally a large tiger. Lots of birds too we could see, Pradeep happily identified each one for us. Returned with unforgettable memories.

This is a great place to stay for safari. We saw 2 tigers and 3 leopards! The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food is great and a wide choice at all meal times. The lodges are spacious and comfortable and well stocked. Staff ensured all our needs were met. Great hotel. Definitely worth staying

I had taken the viceroy package from 3rd to 4th January, 2024 and it includes accommodation, full boarding and two safaris except the charges for camera. The property as well as the amenities provided are excellent. All the staff members are ready to help with a smiling face. During my stay, they always enquire if I face any kind of discomfort. There is an excellent layout of yummy food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They provide snacks with evening tea. I could not have expected anything better than this. I cannot think of any other property when visiting Bandipur.

Great base for visiting the nature preserve. The cabins are basic but have all the necessities. The food is abundant, tasty, and includes lots of options for vegetarians and people who don't like spicy food. Bring binoculars for the Jeep tour. Most people come here for the tigers but the preserve is an incredible birding destination. If you let your driver know you're interested in birds he'll make different stops to catch more species.

Bandipur Safari Lodge should update its pictures, because the place looks so much better! There are trees everywhere with monkeys and you feel like you are in the jungle already. They offer a very good deal with 2 jeepsafaris, one in the afternoon and one in the following morning, meals and a nice nature documentary. The safaris are organized by the lodge itself and are GOOD! With knowledgeable guides who actually search for wildlife and adjust the safari to your interests. Food was good, a nice buffet, and rooms are pretty and clean. I would recommend Bandipur Safari Lodge to everyone!

The rooms are somewhat old fashioned and basic but you are really here to see the animals so don't spend much time in the rooms. Food is included in the package price. There were both veg and non veg options. Breakfast included both Indian and International options. .......and the real thrill is going on the safaris and seeing the variety of animals. If you are lucky this will include seeing a tiger.
