Attraction
Bandipur Jeep Safari
Forest Department jeep safaris are a key highlight of Bandipur National Park tourism, departing from the Bandipur National Park reception center at 6:30 AM and 3:30 PM daily. These safaris cover about 20 kilometers through the most productive zones, including Moolapura, the Gopalaswamy Betta buffer, and teak plantations near the headquarters. The dry open landscape offers excellent visibility for wildlife, making it one of the best places to visit in Bandipur National Park for ungulate spotting, with high chances of tiger and leopard sightings. These jeep rides are also one of the most popular things to do in Bandipur National Park for immersive sightseeing. A handful of lodges additionally run private jeep safaris with experienced naturalists, often considered a better option than government canter rides.
Spend the evening unwinding. You can relax on the nature deck, enjoy tea by the riverside, capture wildlife photographs, or simply soak in the tranquil sunset views across the water.
Dinner and overnight stay amidst forest surroundings.
