Situated on the edge of Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, Kabini River Lodge offers countless opportunities to immerse yourself in nature, unwind, and explore local history. Whether you want to spot a tiger or relax by the river, this guide will help you make the most of your stay.
Experience the thrill of Nagarhole Tiger Reserve with two daily safaris—one at dawn and another in the evening. With trained naturalists leading the way, you'll explore habitats known for tigers, leopards, and elephants.
Each time of day brings unique sights and sounds, from deer gathering at waterholes to fresh tiger paw prints shimmering in the early morning light.
The Kabini River is not just tranquil; it's alive with wildlife. Enjoy a boat safari as you cruise along the river, observing elephants, otters, and various bird species as they come to drink. In winter, the river becomes prime territory for spotting crocodiles and large flocks of migratory birds.
Kabini is a top birdwatching spot in India because of its varied habitats. You can join guided nature walks and hike along trails to see some 250 bird species living in Kabini. Each step offers a chance to discover something new, from the bright Malabar trogon to the impressive crested hawk eagle.
After a day of exploration, unwind by the campfire, where guides share their life stories in the wild. Gather under a starlit sky, exchange sightings with other guests, and listen to locals recount the history and folklore of the Kabini region.
Kabini's lush forests, open grasslands, and river vistas create an ideal setting for photographers. Capture breathtaking moments, like the silhouette of a peacock at dawn or the intense gaze of a tiger from a distance. With tips from experienced guides, you'll take home photos that relive your adventure.
Conclude your day at Kabini with a quiet moment by the river. Watch the sky transition from blue to amber as the sun sets over the water. This peaceful time offers a perfect reflection on a day filled with adventure and discovery, highlighting the beauty of simplicity.
Venture beyond the lodge to visit nearby tribal villages, where traditional lifestyles remain strong. Learn about local customs, handicrafts, and the communities' connection with the forest. This cultural experience enriches your understanding of Kabini's human side. (Not included in the package)
