Part of the Serai collection of boutique Indian lodges, this Bandipur property is built around traditional courtyards and deep verandas, designed to sit comfortably within the surrounding forest landscape at the edge of the Nilgiri Biosphere.
Rooms and suites arranged around the property’s central courtyards, finished in natural materials with private outdoor seating areas.
South Indian and broader regional cooking, much of it drawing on produce grown on site, served in an open-air dining pavilion.
Game drives into Bandipur’s forest, guided nature walks, and cultural excursions into the surrounding Nilgiri hill country.
The lodge’s naturalists are well versed in Bandipur’s elephant corridors, and sightings of large herds moving between Bandipur, Wayanad and Mudumalai are a regular feature of drives here.
Early morning drives along the forest edge often catch elephant herds crossing between reserves, a genuinely unique wide-angle opportunity in South India.
The Serai group supports local employment and community initiatives around each of its properties, including habitat and conservation partnerships specific to the Nilgiri landscape.
