ACTIVITIES
:
The main wildlife viewing activity
here is the exciting safaris on open-top jeeps into the famed Nagarhole
National Park. Our first ride into the Park is at the crack of dawn
and we visit the park again at 4.30pm. A boat ride on the River
Kabini would sure be a treat to your eyes, as many elephants tend
to congregate on the banks in the evenings. You could be sure to
see as many as 150-200 elephants on a summer evening. Guests can
choose between the traditional, circular boat (made of bamboo and
buffalo hide) and the regular motorboat for the river cruise. Elephant
rides lasting about 45 minutes are also part of our package at Kabini.
In the evening, movies on wildlife are shown in our audio-visual
hall. We could also start a campfire and barbeque at the Ghol Ghar
in the night. |
