Arriving at the Wildlife Resort via Somanathapur Temple + Afternoon Safari

Mysore Palace - The Mysore Palace is renowned as the most opulent and luxurious palace in South India, often referred to as the “Palace of Versailles” of India. Constructed in 1912 in the Indo-Saracenic style, it was designed by Chief Architect Henry Irwin, an Englishman. The palace’s grandeur is highlighted by its embellishments, including tiles from England, marble from Italy, chandeliers from Czechoslovakia, cast iron pillars and stained glass from Scotland, teak wood from Burma, and jaguar bronze statues from England. Situated on a sprawling 45-acre estate, the palace also houses numerous temples. It is divided into two sections: one managed by the State Government and the other belonging to the royal Wodeyar family. The Mysore Palace attracts as many visitors annually as the Taj Mahal!

Bandipur Tiger Safari - The afternoon safari to Bandipur forest is organized by the hotel in collaboration with the local government. It is advisable to book the safari before arriving at the hotel. Bandipur National Park is a protected wildlife sanctuary covering an area of 874 sq. km, while the adjoining Nagarahole reserve spans 848 sq. km. Both are part of the larger Nilgiri Biosphere, which extends over 5500 sq. km across three South Indian states. An afternoon safari in the Bandipur/Nagarahole forest ranges offers a remarkable chance to observe wildlife in their natural environment, including predators, reptiles, cats, elephants, and birds. Amidst the serene jungle backdrop, as you navigate through the dense forest with experienced drivers and naturalists, the wilderness reveals itself. While spotting tigers requires luck, other wildlife such as deer and elephants are commonly seen. Be prepared to capture these moments with your camera!
