Jungle Homestay near Bandipur Mudumalai Masinagudi

The property is situated in a village on the borders of Mudumalai forest. You can heer voices of crackers used to divert elephants during the night. The stay had minimal facilities required to spend your night but was a great value for money. You can spot cows and deers in the open ground outside the property. Would recommend to take a high beam torch to spend time spotting deers at the night. The owner, Mr. Prashant Joshi was a very kind and empathetic man. The property faced water issue due to neighbouring tenants leaving the tap on but he handled the situation very well. The Udupi restaurant near the property had the perfect Masala Dosa one can crave for. Do try it.

Location

Location was really awesome and it's perfect place for animal watching

Nothing

Close to the park entrance for early morning visit to the park. The picnic tables outside are nice for relaxing and gazing over the grassy fields in the sun. A few hundred meters up the road are restaurants, shops and a place to drink coffee.

The beds have plastic sheets under the toplinen. So sleeping is uncomfortable and sweaty. No shade outside.

The hospitality of the property manager made up for any lack of material comfort.

Access to the place was a bit scary and unexpected. But the back of the property is quite nice, we even saw a couple of deer the next morning. Most importantly, the tiger reserve is less than a mile away where we saw incredible wild life - heard of deer, elephants trumpeting, monkeys screaming at elephants, wild dogs, wild pigs, and much more.

Near the jungle main gate. Property owner is very very helpful. Location of the property is good and you can spot 🦌 deers in the morning 🌄

Off the road and very narrow road to reach the property.

Spacious clean rooms. Excellent location. Many deers and peacock found roaming around property in morning and evening. Excellent tasty breakfast lunch and dinner provided at reasonable rates.

Approach road though a concrete road is damaged at few places. However the property is just 400 meters from main mysore ooty road hence enjoyed the "off road drive"
