Accommodation Facilities at Bandipur National Park

Accommodation facilities in the park are adequate in most respects except quantity. That too, mainly due to the heavy influx of weekend tourists from the relatively close-by neighbouring towns of Bangalore, Mysore and Coimbatore. There are Forest Rest Houses, Cottages and Lodges. There are of both types, which are government and private owned. They are quite clean and provide meals on prior order. They are located close to the start off point of most rides. It is definitely worthwile staying at the Forest Rest Houses inside as the sounds and sights of nature that surround you once the crowds have left for the day, is absolutely amazing. It is advisable to book at least a month in advance to avoid disappointments, especially if you are visiting over a weekend.
