Kabini River Lodge Karapura
[Reservation]

If you have often wondered where you could think green thoughts in a green shade, look up to a forest canopy almost as old as the hills, look down into the translucent depths of a pristine river and above all have a full view of wildlife you should head to the Kabini River Camp. Once the hunting lodge of the erstwhile Maharaja of Mysore, Kabini is today rated among the top five wildlife resorts in the world by Tatler's Travel Guide, a prestigious British Travel Magazine. It is very close to Nagarhole National Park and is a paradise on the banks of the river Kabini. group (SITA Travels). 

Getting There Kabini is a tributary of the River Cauvery that surrounds the River Lodge. It is located at Karapur near Nagarhole national park. The lodge is spread over 55 acres. Kabini River Lodges is located at a distance of 220 kms from Bangalore by road via Mysore. Frequent buses/trains ply to Mysore. Its 80 Kms away from Mysore on the Mysore - Mananthavadi Road. The last 5 kms is a deviation road. It is 240 Kms from Ooty via Mysore.

Accommodation : You can choose from a wide range at the Kabini River Lodge.

Colonial style: Plush luxurious rooms in the colonial style. There are two blocks of 7 twin-bed rooms each, with modern facilities that have been built to resmeble the Maharaja and Viceroy buildings, located in the camp.

Riverside: You could choose to fall asleep to the soothing lullaby of the river and arise the next morning to watch the first rays of the sun dance over the water. There are twin-bedded riverside cottages with attached baths that overlook the river.

Tented Cottages: If you would prefer the wilds, you could live outdoors in the comfortable tents, with attached modern baths, overlooking the river.

Food: Dine out at our Gol Ghar. The resort takes special care to cater to the varied tastes of an international clientelse as well.The buffet meals include Indian and Continental menus. The bar is another special feature with a variety of brands enough to cater to your distinctive tastes.

Must Do: A wildlife safari is a must at the Kabini River Lodge. Take the jeep safari through the Nagarhole National Park where you are bound to see herds of elephants grazing, wild dogs, bisons, deer, peacocks, wild boars a variety of birds and maybe if you're lucky, those elusive big cats: the tiger and the panther.A safari on elephant back is another experience altogether. You feel as if you're sailing on a slightly turbulent sea and yet you know you are in a forest. Since the animals are used to having elephants around, you don't disturb them either.Spend some time in the watchtower and watch as a mind-boggling variety of wildlife comes down to the water hole.Ride a coracle. An ancient form of transport in South India, the coracle is made of animal hide and requires some skill to manipulate and some daring to attempt.A motorboat cruise would give you a chance to take a look at the wild life, aquatic birds and even a few crocodiles. Sailboats and paddleboats are also available. Another must do is nature walk for that feel of the forest which would long linger in your memory.

Must See: For an unhurried visitor, there are a few places to see in and around Kabini River Lodge. One could pay a visit to the Nagarhole National Park and also the Kabini Reservoir. It would also be a wonderful idea to drive across the Karnataka-Kerala border to enjoy the vista of unending forests. One could also visit the Bandipur National Park. For visitors with more time to spare, it would be really worthwhile to visit Belur and Halebid to take a look at the temples and the structures. And of course, the city of Mysore with its glorious palaces, Chamundi Hills and Brindavan Garden must also find place on your itinerary.

Travel Advice

  • Language is an issue here, so carry a Kannada-English phrasebook. This is available all over the footpaths of Bangalore and costs about Rs 30.
  • Carry some dry snacks that you prefer just in case you feel the need for some junk food.
  • A wide-angle camera is a must
  • An extra pair of clothing might hold you in good stead as you might need it after a coracle ride.
  • Best season to visit: Its open throughout the year, but the best time to sight the wildlife is during the month of November to May. For people who enjoy the vistas of green forests then the time would be between the months of July and October.
