Dhole’s
Den is an eco-friendly Lodge and luxurious gateway to the
Bandipur National Park
The
name Dhole’s Den is derived from the Dhole, the Asiatic
wild dog (Cuon alpinus). For many years it was hunted down as
vermin but it is one of the most fascinating hunters in the Indian
jungle with a complex and unique social hierarchy. The dholes live
in packs and are organised perfectly under the leadership of an
alpha male and alpha female. The population of the Dholes has been
dessimated in the various national parks in India and a notable
population remains only in national parks like Kanha, Periyar and
Nagerhole and of course Bandipur. At Dhole’s Den it is our endeavour
to emphasize the importance and the beauty of this animal which
wrongly stands in the shadow of bigger and well-known animals like
the tiger, leopard or elephant and win support for the conservation
of the jungle in Bandipur with the dhole as its mascot.
How to reach
Dhole’s Den: 90 km from Mysore, 19 km from Mudumalai Wildlife
Sanctuary, 110 km from Nagerhole National Park and 79 km from Ooty;
nearest airports are Bangalore (220 km) and Coimbatore (168 km).
Accommodation
Dhole’s Den offers 5
spacious living units (2 rooms, 1 Suite and 2 bungalows). The
guests rooms in the main house are on the first floor. The space for
living and sleep intermingle with each other. Space, light, air and
sight are the forefront of all the units. Large glas sliding doors
offer a panoramic and unhindered view of the landscape and the
Niligiri Mountains. Ever changing vistas and hues ranging from misty
mornings, village scenery with cowherds passing by to golden sunsets
are a treat to watch.
The sobriquet “The Blue Mountains of Ooty“ unfolds truly at Dhole’s
Den. The high ceilings and glass louvers allow the winds to pass
through so that the rooms are never to hot even during the mid day
heat. Comfortable marble sit-outs reduce the amount of furniture
required in the room. The spacious balconies are covered by
terracotta tiles so that the guest can enjoy the panorama in the
shade throughout the day. Sun bathe, enjoy a sun downer or a private
dinner from the free standing balconies which two of the rooms have
to offer
The suite with its over 105 square metres and a large private
balcony offers ample space for creative thinking and relaxation. The
whole building is placed on the north/south axis so that the course
of the sun can be followed by you
The dining and living rooms are on the ground floor, also
here space and light are the main features. Watch the chef prepare
your breakfast or let him explain how to prepare one of those tasty
south Indian curries in the live kitchen
