Stay and Places to Visit around Bandipur.
We had booked a 2 bedroom cottage at - Jungle home
Jungle home is 10mins drive from the safari office in Bandipur.
Jungle home is a cottage located in a 2 acre campus. The cottage is surrounded by ginger farm and coffee estates.
Jungle home owns a 8 acre campus besides a stream where fishing is conducted. The stream forms a small island ( Just a car can be parked on the island) the island is totally inside the forest where we can watch deers, elephants in close.
I traveled along with my friends (11 members) and we paid only 1200 per day for a 2 bedroom cottage with a large dining hall and a living room with TV and a DVD player.
There are lots of DVDs also available there. But the rooms are not spacious All of us could accommodate easily. They did not charge us anything extra.
Jungle home is a good place to spend time with Friends and family.
We get home made food. The quality of the food is excellent. The idlis I had at Jungle home was the best. The sambar also was too good.
