K Gudi Wilderness Camp-Jungle Lodges

The pros and cons CONS The property has got no electricity connection. It completely runs on solar power and generator. The power runs out anytime after 10.30pm( based on crowd) and they do not switch on Generator till 5 am in the morning. The rooms(the standard ones and delux) are very claustrophobic and stuffy esp during summer with no fan or air. For the money they charge they should ensure proper power supply which is the basic of all the facilities PROS 1. Amazing location and complete wilderness. Safaris were good, our driver and guide Mr Narayanan was well experienced and knowledgeable wrt forest, animals and birds 2. Good and tasty food as compared to other Jungle Lodges. Was good on stomach and service was very good

Ambience 4/5 Comfort 3/5 Activities 4/5 Service 3/5 Value for money 3/5 ||I have been a regular visitor to Jungle Lodges and quite familiar with its value proposition. One should stay here if you want a quiet time amidst nature and you enjoy Jungle Safari. ||What I like: |1. JUNGLE SAFARI - They have a very good system for safaris in the morning at 6 am and afternoon 330pm. Safari is complimentary with the stay and you can do as many as you wish. Each Safari lasts for 2-3 hours and they take you in a jeep which can accommodate about 8 people. ||2. FOOD & SERVICE: Like every Jungle Lodges, all the meals and tea/coffee is included with the stay. Food is hygienic, tasty and homely. They serve it with a lot of love. ||3. ACTIVITIES: Apart from the Safari, they have a library, table tennis, carrom, Chess and Gilli danda. They also have a hammock outside every room. ||What can be done better:||1. STAY : They have 5-6 tent style rooms, 5 log huts and a few normal rooms. We stayed in the last log hut Bilgiris. The room is quite spacious with all necessary things. But two things can be improved.|A) There are no ceiling fans and the room has only one table fan. It is not enough in the weather of April and we felt uncomfortable. We requested for an extra fan and the request was turned down. ||B) We requested for an extra mattress which came after some deliberation. But the quality of mattress was so bad that we decided to not use it as adjust kids with us.||2. VALUE FOR MONEY - Prices of the stay are quite high and keep on increasing. I didn't feel the value for money against what was offered. ||3. ATTITUDE OF STAFF: While most staff is good, there are a few staff members who are lazy and just expect tips. Staff should be trained and taught that this is not a typical KSRTC hotel and people expect good service. On the Day 1, driver and guide were helping only the family sitting in front and were talking only in Kannada. There could be tourists coming from outside state who would expect info too and preferably in Hindi/English. I feel guide should be allocated based on the preferred language of guests and the guide should explain everyone.||In my personal opinion, there is a clear scope to do better.

This Place is called K Gudi 'Wilderness Camp', so amenities are basic. Don't expect city comforts! Quiet forest surroundings, yes! We visited end Apr.2025, stayed in a STD room - not the cottages you see in pics. View from the cottages is lovely, but more expensive. 11 cottages and about 6 STD room in the main block. Our Room was large non AC, comfortable, with clean bathroom, solar hot water. Food is served on a common dining hall, away from the cottages and main block. Excellent, tasty vegetarian food, served hot., buffet style. Courteous restaurant staff. Because location is remote in a forest reserve, controlled by Govt.Forest Service. amenities are restricted. No cell phone signal. Very limited wifi near rooms, WhatsApp works. Main activity is jungle Safari in jeeps - 3 hrs each, late afternoon and early next morning. Your luck if you see tiger or elephant. Mostly birds, Gaur buffalo and langur. The shared safari ride is rough, bumpy, gruelling; if you have back problems, best to avoid. The guides don't warn you. My opinion/suggestion - budget travelers might consider staying at KSTDC Mayura about 20 km away at BR Hills, and go for the safari package,which costs around 450/- per head.for 1 hour. Bonus is Ranganathaswamy Temple, which is walking distance from Mayura hotel.

Absolutely lovely experience staying here. The lodge is so well maintained, the food is delicious, and the staff go out of their way to help you. The safaris are a very peaceful ride in the forest- even if animal sightings obviously depend on luck as nature takes its own course. But I had such a serene time here- and will definitely come back!

This place is absolutely STUNNING! It's right in the middle of the forest so it's quiet and gorgeous. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was lovely with both veg and non beg items. I highly recommend this spot for a quick getaway from the city.

Itenary includes 2 safari with 3.5 hrs long. One can see deers and boars around rooms. They could have added more food varieties for non-veg. Food was tasty. Tariff looks more for this package.

Had an amazing time at K Gudi Wilderness Camp! The camp is set in a beautiful forest, and the whole experience made me feel close to nature. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to make our stay special. The safari guides were great, sharing lots of interesting facts about the wildlife and the forest.||||The tents and log huts were comfortable, with great views, and we could hear the sounds of the forest around us. It was so peaceful and relaxing! ||||The food was fantastic -- fresh, tasty, and with a variety of options. You can really tell that the staff care about what they serve.||||K Gudi does a wonderful job of combining nature, adventure, and comfort. It's the perfect place to escape and enjoy the beauty of the forest while having a comfortable and safe stay. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature or just wants to relax in a unique setting!

A beautiful place to reconnect back with the nature. Good food, good ambience and the stay in forest will rejuvenate you. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves to spend time with nature. 2 safaris will make you love the flora and fauna in forest. Indoor sports and desi sports can be played here. Always a fan of all JLR properties in Karnataka.
