Dholes Den Bandipur I Rooms & Restaurant

It was a holiday season, we wanted to have a break from the city life. With a SIX month old baby we thought of restricting our plan to 100-200 kms from Bangalore. We choose Bandipur finally as the most suitable place for our trip. The group comprised of me, my wife, my six month old son and two of my close friends. We started searching for the best hotel or resort nearby Bandipur . After lot of goggling we came across a resort by name "Dhole's Den" .We sent through the resort website and the reviews. However, we were not very convince but still decided to opt for the same. It was purely based on reviews and we found the distance of the resort from the Jungle Safari office was not much. We reached the resort around 11am. Once we entered the property we were very relaxed with the choice we made. The property is great and supporting associates are very very courteous. We met Mr Karthik (the owner) and his two souls Zulu and Shaka. :-) hello ---- Its not a paid review !! We just stayed there for a day but felt like we know each of the associated members from many days. We had a great experience though it was a short stay :-). We plan to visit again and recommend it to all families/Couples or group of friends. Thanks a lot Mr karthik for attending all our questions so patiently.

I travel a lot and have stayed in all sorts of places but as far as family vacations go, this ranks among the top. I was intrigued by the name and decided to stay at Dhole's Den for 3 nights to coincide with our wedding anniversary. it turned out to be a good decision and we enjoyed the stay a lot. First surprise was the location. Serene, Peaceful and nature at its pristine best. Then the resort and the service. It was genuine and I never felt that they were doing all this with only commercial motive. We were upgraded to a bungalow at the slightest hint of noise next door, food choices were asked before making them, candle light dinner was arranged discreetly for the anniversary with complimentary Drinks and cake to boot. For the first time, I remember the names of all the staff and felt like doing so because of their attitude towards guests. Mr and Mrs. Karhik Davey : hats off to you for taking care of minute details and training the staff so very well and the dogs of course. only suggestion is it is too bright in the mornings and afternoon and hence doesn't allow afternoon siesta. Some more curtains/covers required. But I guess that is not what we are supposed to be doing in a place like Bandipur!!!!

Me and my wife decided this place for a weekend getaway which happened to fall on my birthday.As soon as I entered the den,we were greeted by Karthik, all smiling.The hounds were around and they looked magnificent.We had booked a bunglow,the view was wonderful,I really loved the concept of the rooms .The bathroom needs a special mention ,its open roof.I loved the eco friendly nature of the whole place.The balcony was the best place to be.Sit and relax with the scenic beauty which are a treat to your eyes.They arranged for us a jungle safari and we were lucky to see some wonderful wildlife in bandipur.Camp fire was set up at night and the rain gods showed some mercy on us by just drizzling and setting up the right atmosphere for the night.Karthik joined us and it was a good time.A special mention to the food.It was super tasty.The service is impeccable.Each and every staff does their best to tend to your needs and they are smiling and helping always.Really enjoyed talking to all the staffs and knowing a piece of their lives.Overall one of the best places I have visited in a long time and sure to visit it again.Worth it.
