Dhole's Den Bandipur

Wonderful, comfortable and homely relaxed environment in a beautifully presented lodge, in an amazing location. Excellent hospitality and service, delicious and plentiful food and amazing wildlife! I really enjoyed the company, the accommodation and the safaris - great way to escape the city for a few days, soak up nature, switch off and relax.

Thank you Mr. Davey for making us a part of your dream. The experience was wonderful and heartwarming to say the least . Clean & huge room, sumptuous food, great view of Nilgiri’s from balcony, scenic sunrise & sunset. All the associates at the resort are warm and always ready to help. Bonus was sighting of deer below our balcony at night. Please carry on spreading the joy that you do for the guests at your resort. Best of luck & stay healthy.

Lovely place, comfortable and large rooms. Very open to the external air but still practically no mosquitos despite the small pond in front. Huge balcony overlooking the landscape and the pond and the Nilgiris in the distance. Rooms can comfortably sleep 5 people in comfort. Huge toilet with open to sky shower. Good homely food and extremely hospitable hosts. In terms of access, after the Bandipur forest Center once you take a left turn to head towards Dhole's Den and The Serai the road is extremely bad and is a little bit of a torture in a sedan.

Superb property, well designed and ***aged - ***sion. Excellent place to relax, which was much needed after returning from a tight schedule and from being busy in routine work. Most courteous staff at the restaurant giving their best attention to all and also the room service. Look forward to another visit and I would definitely recommend this place to friends. Cons: You will not find swimming pool in place.

Best place in bandipur by far . Excellent rooms with great view , great food , spotted leopard right in the entrance of the venue. If you are looking for private space , not too crowded and not resortish experience then go here

Small place. Like a family den. With beautiful hounds walking around. Wonderful home cooked food served in a community type seating at certain times so we meet our fellow guests. Nice outdoor activities planned at easy intervals giving you adequate time for personal activities and group activities. Highly recommend Dhole's Den for anyone looking for a great getaway. Note: No AC or overhead fan in the room. There is one of floor fan that is a little inadequate and serves the person sleeping on one side of the bed. If it's hot, this will be a problem. Talk to your hosts about it and get equipped. I am sure they will find a solution.

We visited with our family for two nights. It is a beautiful place. I must thanks Ingrid and Karthik ***** with all the stafffs for making our stay so comfortable. Special thanks to everyone for making the special birthday arrangements for my husband. It was such a sweet gesture. The property is so amazing with serene wilderness with a blend of natural beauty. It's one of a experience. I am hoping to visit soon again. Special love to the creative gift hand made by Ingrid for my husband. We loved it. Thanks🥰 Cheers to Dhole's den! 😀

We travelled as a group of and absolutely loved our stay. The food was very fresh and tasty and is all organic; the vegetables are all grown on Dhole's Den's own farm. The hospitality of all the staff was also incredible and everyone went out of their way and paid a lot of attention to detail. We had the pleasure of also meeting Karthik (***** with their dogs :)), the owner of the property, during our stay who was warm and very hospitable. The garden ***sion is spacious, very well lit, with glass doors across a whole wall, opening up to views of the greenery in the property, and the Nilgiris in the distance. The bathroom was spacious and has an open to sky shower which is great. There is a lot of lovely art displayed within the garden ***sion as well as in the common spaces, a lot of them painted by the proprietors themselves. There are only 5 rooms/cottages on this 5 acre property, so there is ample privacy and time and space for solitude. We also enjoyed a spot of archery, an evening bonfire, a tour of the off-site Dhole's Den farm where the vegetables are grown, followed by tea at a sunset point, a nice dip in the outdoor dipping pool, all of which were included in the package. The only booking at extra cost that had to be made was that of the safari, which was also booked and coordinated by Dholes Den (and we were dropped to and picked up from the safari point). All-in-all, would highly recommend staying at Dhole's Den and we hope to be back there soon! Suggestion: The one suggestion we would have is that a sliding mesh door can also be added as a second layer option, to allow the fresh cool air to enter in the evening and nights when sleeping, while keeping insects and animals out (rather than having to close the glass sliding doors completely).

We stayed at Dhole's den for 2 nights. Since we had informed Karthik about our interest in nature especially birds, he had prepared interesting itinerary for us. Twice we went for bird watching with Girish who truly has passion for nature including birds. Apart from showing us different types of birds, he also gave insight on different bird sounds. He was available all the time. He was also present during fishing and night walk where we discussed on different types of frogs. Our most of the days were spent with Girish discussing about surroundings/nature, we learnt so ***y things from him. We also went to their organic farm where my son plucked few vegetables which were used in salad later. And then it was tea drive in some areas near the forest with Lokhiram who briefed us about the forest, farm, his own experience. They also arranged gypsy safari for us. About the rooms, they are beautifully designed, well maintained and very comfortable. Our view from the balcony was so awesome - watching different birds coming to the pond and huge number of Baya weavers busy building their nests, it was such a visual delight. All the staffs were very caring. We had good talk with Ingrid also, she is very friendly. Thank you so much. Only slight improvement can be on food which was a bit too oily for us. We will definitely love to visit again and will recommend this place to anyone who is interested in nature.
