Since Karnataka is blessed with numerous forests and a lengthy Western Ghat mountain range, it is the best state in India for wildlife spotting and jungle resorts.<\/p>\n

Browse the list of charming jungle resorts and lodges in Karnataka below:<\/p>\n

   River Tern Lodge, Bhadra Tiger Reserve<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   <\/p>\n

   This forest lodge is located near the Bhadra Tiger Reserve, near Chikmagalur, Karnataka.<\/p>\n

   Though I said April to June is the best season for wildlife watching in Karnataka, that should not deter jungle lovers to visit the sanctuaries any time of the year as each season has its own beauty and attraction.<\/p>\n

   River Tern Lodge is one such place that you can visit throughout the year.<\/p>\n

   Don\u2019t assume there is a river called Tern. Actually, River Tern is an aquatic bird that is found to be living in large numbers here.<\/p>\n

   <\/p>\n

   River Tern.<\/p>\n

   They feed happily in the Bhadra Reservoir.<\/p>\n

   The River Tern forest lodge in Karnataka is located just 5 km before the Bhadra Tiger Reserve.<\/p>\n

   There are two all-inclusive packages that are well worth looking at.<\/p>\n

   Visit the website to know what is offered there for you.<\/p>\n

   This is the only forest lodge to stay and enjoy doing various things near Bhadra Tiger Reserve.<\/p>\n

      Mayura River View Resort, Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      <\/p>\n

      The sprawling Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary is located 15 km from the big Mysore city. Though there are countless hotels in Mysore, I would suggest you avoid them and choose to book your room in Mayura River View Resort that is located in Srirangapatna, a temple town located just 3 km from Ranganathittu lake.<\/p>\n

      The resort is run by the Karnataka State Government Tourism Department.<\/p>\n

      There is a great range of birds in this bird sanctuary. You can take a relaxed boat ride on the lake and watch the colorful birds and crocodiles too that come out to sunbathe.<\/p>\n

         Kabini River Lodge<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         I think Kabini River Lodge is the most booked forest lodge in Karnataka. It is one of the perfect weekend getaways for those living in Bangalore, Mysore, and Ooty. Other big cities in Karnataka are slightly far off and not suitable for weekend trips.<\/p>\n

         Kabini River Lodge is built amidst tranquil surroundings of Nagarahole National park.<\/p>\n

         Visit their website for bookings and jeep or elephant safari rides. I don\u2019t think you need to book a seat on the thrilling \u2018coracle\u2019 ride on the river Kabini.<\/p>\n

         In addition to Kabini River Lodge, there are several more forest lodges nearby. I am giving below the names of a few more jungle lodges in Karnataka.<\/p>\n

         \n
         1. \n

            Serai Kabini Resort , Kabini<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            1. \n

               Bison Resort, Kabini<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

               This forest lodge in Karnataka must be developed by someone who has an extraordinary love for nature and classic taste. Bison resort offers several types of accommodations that include African-style waterfront tents and rustic machans.<\/p>\n

               These rustic tents are rated as one of the best 100 tent-type accommodations in the world. You can feel like John Wayne<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

               Do you know these waterfront tents are equipped with a bathroom? Awesome!<\/p>\n

               Alternatively, machan is known as a treehouse. I like the sound of machan.<\/p>\n

               \n

                        Masinagudi is a very small town cum village and is the gateway for Mudumalai wildlife sanctuary. This wildlife park is located on the border of Tamilnadu and Karnataka states of India.<\/p>\n

                        Mudumalai wildlife park is a highly visited place in Tamilnadu. Ooty hill station is just an hour away from Mudumalai.<\/p>\n

                        <\/p>\n

                        That is how the forest of Mudumalai will look in the spring season.<\/p>\n

                                 Gorukana Jungle Resorts<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
