Tusker Trails sits on the edge of Bandipur National Park, a small boutique lodge named for the large elephant bulls that regularly move through the surrounding buffer forest.
A small number of cottages set within a forested garden, each with a private veranda.
Home-style South Indian and continental meals served in a relaxed, garden setting.

Bandipur forms part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, holding significant tiger, elephant and Indian gaur populations.
The Nilgiri hills visible from parts of the reserve give a rare mountainous backdrop uncommon among India’s flatter tiger reserves.
The lodge supports conservation initiatives across the broader Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, one of India’s most significant elephant corridors.
