Nestled in the
southern fringes of the Nagarhole
the Kabini River Lodge is a perfect getaway for nature lovers. The
breathtaking locale with the tranquil backwaters of the River Kabini
presents an ideal setting for a long-awaited vacation. Once the hunting
lodge of the erstwhile Maharaja of Mysore, Kabini River Lodge is today
rated by the British Tatler’s Travel Guide as one of the top 5 wildlife
resorts in the world. Kabini is pure elephant country as one can see
numerous herds at a time. However, the blaze of the elusive tiger
always haunts you as you roam through the verdant jungle here. Once
widely known for the mass elephant-trapping operations called 'Khedda',
Kabini stands as the one of the brightest beacons for wildlife
preservation in India today.

Apart
from the luxurious living areas, the Viceroy's building houses our
well-equipped bar. There is also a large, charming room exclusively for
seminars, meetings with multimedia projector and other conferencing
facilities. The communal dining area called the Ghol Ghar (circular,
open-to-sides gazebo) overlooks River Kabini and is the perfect place
for guests to
share their experiences of the day with each other.

Activities:
The main wildlife
viewing activity here is the exciting safaris on
open-top jeeps into the famed Nagarhole National Park. The first ride
into the Park is at the crack of dawn and you can visit the park again
at
4.30pm. A boat ride on the River Kabini would sure be a treat to your
eyes, as many elephants tend to congregate on the banks in the
evenings. You could be sure to see as many as 150-200 elephants on a
summer evening. Guests can choose between the traditional, circular
boat (made of bamboo and buffalo hide) and the regular motorboat for
the river cruise. In the evening, movies on wildlife are shown in our
audio-visual hall. Guests can also a campfire and barbeque at the
Ghol Ghar in the night. An ayurveda treatment option is also offered to
guests.
Season:
Kabini offers an enchanting experience all through the year. However, during March, April and May, when the season is the driest, most of the elephants of the surrounding forests converge at Kabini, to take advantage of the back waters of river Kabini, and to feed on the grass growing on the dried out surface. This is when you can view the largest congregation of Asiatic wild elephants, anywhere in the world. During the rainy season, i.e., July, August & September, the trees will be at their greenest best, with fewer animals visible. During the other months, a fair number of a variety of wildlife including birds can be sighted.
