B. R. Hills Wildlife Resorts

B. R. Hills Wildlife Resort is a Jungle Lodges Enterprise and is an unmatched combination of holiday at a hill-station and an opportunity for exploration of the wildlife. The resort is located in the heart of the Biligiri Rangaswamy Sanctuary (B R Hills) at K Gudi, just 90 km. from Mysore (Karnataka, India), on a hilly terrain at an altitude of 3300 ft., (to 5000 ft.,) above sea level.

At the camp, the deciduous, evergreen and grassland forests engulf you and put you right in the middle with the wild animals and birds that the jungle is home to. The forest is at its best greenery during June to November and wildlife is sighted round the year. A unique feature of the camp is that there is no electricity in the tents and the log-huts. Electricity, however, is provided in the hunting lodge between 7pm to 10.30 pm. As the night falls and the stars shine, the resort lights up with hurricane lamps, a magical a magical transformation.

Distance:
The camp very easlily accesible and is located at Kyathadevara Gudi (K. Gudi) within B. R. Hills Sanctuary limits. It is just 86 km from Mysore (via Nanjangud and Chamrajnagar) and 225 km from Bangalore (via Mysore and Chamrajnagar). K. Gudi Camp is also close to Coimbatore in Tamilnadu, just 175 km away (via Sathyamangalam and Chamarajnagar).

The resort offers a choice of living quarters. 

  • One large hunting bungalow (once the property of the Maharaja of Mysore) with furnished rooms, electricity, and attached modern toilets. It accommodates about 15 tourists.

  • Eight permanent furnished twin bed tents with modern toilets facilities, capable of accommodating 16 tourists on twin-sharing basis. These are lit by hurricane lamps.

  • Furnished ethnic huts on stilts with attached modern toilet facilities. These are lit by hurricane lamps.

Bird watching is another important activity at this resort. You might spot birds like the large Indian parakeet, racket-tailed drongo, hill Myna, crested serpent eagle, chestnut-bellied nuthatch among 225 species.

You could also go for long walks and treks.

When you are at the B R. Hills resort, you should spare time to take a look at the endless coffee estates surrounding the area and also visit the B R Temple.

One could also visit the Soliga and the Jenukurba tribal hamlets.
