Bandipur Safari Reception Office

Very good.large, charming & filled with a lot of beasts as well as birds. I recommend to visit more.

This is karnataka state. Good forest experience. Animal crossing area so don't stop your vehicle inside the forest and not feeding allowed

This is a popular destination for wildlife enthusiasts and known for its biodiversity
We are able to see Bear, Gaurs, Elephants, rangale of spotted deer, Sambar deer and varieties of birds also.

Though the wildlife sighting is a matter of luck or somewhat unpredictable the 150 minute journey through the deep forest is mind blowing.
We need to keep science and patience throughout the journey.

There is a verdant and sprawling area that beckons visitors with a choice of van or jeep safaris. The van safari travels along a set route, offering glimpses of a variety of animals, including birds, mongooses, peacocks, wild boars, and deer that roam near the road. While spotting a tiger is a matter of luck, the van safari promises a delightful experience for nature enthusiasts.

On the other hand, the jeep safari offers a higher probability of sighting wild animals like tigers and leopards in the depths of the dense jungle. However, the cost of this safari is relatively higher than the van safari.

It is important to note that the monkeys in the area are known to be highly aggressive, so visitors must exercise caution with their food and children when at the safari reservation counter.

The staff at this picturesque safari are warm and welcoming, and the park is meticulously maintained, evoking a sense of tranquility and serenity. Overall, the environment is unparalleled, receiving a five-star rating. The staff's service receives a four-star rating, while the safari experience garners three stars. Unfortunately, the aggressive monkeys detract a star from the overall rating.

We witnessed deers, elephant and peacock. The road is well maintained. No stopping on the roads or else fine will be imposed.

Introduction:
Bandipur National Park, located in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, is a natural paradise that offers a perfect blend of lush forests, diverse wildlife, and serene landscapes. This protected area spans approximately 874 square kilometers and is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, making it one of India's most important conservation regions.

Getting There:
To reach Bandipur, you can take a flight to Bangalore International Airport and then drive for about 220 kilometers (137 miles) to reach the park. Alternatively, you can take a train to Mysore and then drive for approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles).

Wildlife Safari:
A visit to Bandipur is incomplete without embarking on a thrilling wildlife safari. The park is renowned for its tiger population, and you have a good chance of spotting these majestic creatures during your safari. Other wildlife you might encounter include elephants, leopards, Indian bison, sambar deer, and various species of birds.

Best Time to Visit:
The ideal time to visit Bandipur is between October and March when the weather is pleasant, and wildlife sightings are more frequent. The monsoon season, from June to September, rejuvenates the park, but safaris may be limited due to heavy rainfall

Remember to respect the park's rules and guidelines to ensure the continued preservation of this remarkable ecosystem. Enjoy your adventure in Bandipur!

We took the route of Bandipura to reach Ooty from Bengaluru. The jungle is full of deers and elephants and you don’t need safari to see them. The route is beautiful with so much greenery and animals on the way. The safari is good too.

You must take this route if traveling between Kerala and Mysore. Very scenic route it is like taking a jungle safari on the way.

Amazing place!
Wild life makes you realise what an amazing planet we live in!

Lucky you will see a tiger or at least a massive elephant!

A must visit safari place in India. The place is nicely maitained by the Government of India and they are really keeping the place nice and clean.

Safari was excellent. But we could spot lots of deers, a couple of elephants, some nice birds, wild boar, buffaloes but couldn't spot tigers.

Nice environment. The government must maintain the animals since the cost of safari is high for each person.so they have to maintain animal but they r not doing it. Please government has to do this work by providing all facilities to animals there. It's our fate that animals may come or may not on our safari path.

Bandipur National Park is spectacular. Amazingly maintained. Huge park with lush greenery mesmerising to the eyes. The parks reception office is located on hilltop and was very organised with queues. Prices were fixed for safari. Safaris available were private in gypsy and buses as well. Did not get a chance to see tiger though saw bucks, peacocks etc.

Nice place to spend time with family. We can't see wild animals all the time. If we r lucky it can be seen nearer. Only two time slots are available for jungle safari 6am to 9am then 3pm to 6pm. So plan accordingly if you r going to visit.

Mudhumalai and bandipur are joint forest which don't have boundaries for animals. Mudhumalai forest jeep safari is very difficult because most of the days it book by VIP, but in bandipur they have a online booking and 6 jeeps available in good condition. Mudhumalai they have 2 brand new jeeps but as i said it's for VIP only, so dont relay on jeep in mudhumalai go for bus ride it's worth. Definitely don't miss jeep safari in Bandipur it's long ride in deep Forest.
Animal sightings are based on luck.
