Dhole's Den

Located on the route to Satyamangalam and at the edge of the forest with views of the Nilgiris peaks, Dholes Den offers a rustic and peaceful atmosphere perfect for doing nothing. Enjoy safaris, take walks to appreciate the morning calm while spotting solitary animals and numerous birds, and learn about them. Return for a delicious breakfast, relax by reading a book or watching documentaries provided. Explore the property to see the heritage of Chippiparai dogs owned by the resort's owner. The tranquility deeply affects you. Evenings feature a quiet bonfire and stargazing to view the Milky Way. The food is excellent and remarkable. This is a place to unwind and forget about your work and city life.

Outstanding

Extra Tip: If the rooms are available there will be 10% additional discount if you book before 2 days (last minute booking) in their official website given in GoogleIt's a five star and must stay.We recently stayed at Dholes Den, Bandipur for 2 nights with family in a Habitat Room, and it was a wonderful experience.The property is spread across 5 acres right next to the forest in Mangala village, with a peaceful, close-to-nature atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable, and the owner himself stays on the property, which adds a very personal touch to the whole experience.All 3 meals (veg and non-veg) are included in the package and taste great ’ the best part is you can enjoy your food on the balcony overlooking a pond. Tea and snacks are available any time of day on request. Staff at the dining area are polite and attentive, and the reception team is helpful throughout check-in and check-out.If you're a dog lover, this place is an added bonus ’ there are 5 Chippiparai dogs on the property, and one named Waghya is especially friendly and elegant, true to the breed. The owner joined us on a morning walk within the campus, sharing stories about Dholes Den's history and the surrounding environment, and introduced us to Waghya along the way.The property has electric fencing, and deer wander in during the night and early mornings ’ we also spotted plenty of birds right from our room balcony. They arrange a campfire depending on conditions, and the campfire area itself is beautifully set up ’?.They also provide pickup and drop to the Bandipur safari point, and can help arrange safari bookings with JLR lodges (at extra cost). A nature walk is also offered.Overall, a wonderful stay for nature and wildlife lovers ’ highly recommended!

We had a great experience at Dhole's Den. The place is lovely, eco friendly and intricately decorated with art. The food deserves special praise and tastes like proper homemade food. Communication was perfect and everything was well organised. Many thanks to Pritam, Girish and Veeresh!

The stay was pleasant and the staff were well trained to handle customers. The morning trek was good. Nice place to unwind in the forest.
