hi,
The Bandipur National park located in Karnataka is one of the biggest wild life reserves in India. The park was established with the aim of conserving the natural beauty of the region. A number of holiday Resorts in Bandipur have come up in the last decade to make it easier for tourists to experience the natural beauty of the region. Given the fact that Bandipur is now a part of the vast Nilgiri Biosphere reserve and its vast swatches of land protected by the Indian Government has helped the officials preserve the beauty of the forest and protect its animals. Over the years the animal population has dramatically increased. With the help of the local tribal population, poaching has been curbed. Now tourists can enjoy an exciting safari and see the many exotic species of animals and birds that are found in the forest.
A lot of resorts in Bandipur have the unique advantage of being located very close to the forest. This helps them in drawing thousands of tourists every year. The proximity to the forest adds to the charm of these resorts. The resorts in Bandipur are constructed in such a way that they look like a natural part of the forest. The cottages and 'huts' inside the resorts are well equipped to meet the requirements of modern day travelers who are used to living in luxury. Four poster beds, wall to wall carpeting, running hot and cold water, Large screen LCD TVs, Tea/coffee maker and a mini- refrigerator are the usual embellishments that are found in the resorts in Bandipur. The resorts are designed in such a way that they are a perfect combination of the modern and the rustic. Certain parts of well manicured garden are deliberately allowed to go wild to give it a jungle like feel. It is certainly not uncommon for tourists to share their early morning swim with peacocks and other exotic birds that frolic around the pool.
