Plan your next holiday or conference in a wild deep jungle ......at Bandipur. Yes, we mean ‘Tiger Ranch’ which is situated in a dense bamboo grove. Tiger Ranch has been established as a model of the tribal village of the ancient Kurba sect who have been jungle dwellers for centuries. As any tribal village all the cottages and the restaurant are made of bamboo thatch.Tiger Ranch has its own campfire which is lighted the entire night like in the ancient Kurba villages. .
Just imagine the excitement and thrill of driving past a few herds of deer, sambhars and elephants through 4 Kms of lush green forest, the last 1 km of which is a jungle mud track, to reach the most exclusive wildlife resort ‘TIGER RANCH’.
There is place to play badminton and table tennis.
The shooting for Ram Gopal Verma’s film ‘Jungle’ was done here. The unit comprising of Sunil Shetty,Urmila, Fardeen Khan stayed at TigerRanch for 45 days.
In the heart of nature Tiger Ranch gives you a warm welcome. The thrill and excitement of Tiger Ranch continues as you are courteously checked in and escorted to your bamboo-thacthed cottage. On entering the cottage the effect is startling. It takes you a few minutes just to absorb the contrast of the luxury and soft comforts of your cottage interiors to the wild and rugged bamboo-thacthed exteriors. Its a promised thrilling experience for the entire family.
