Day 1: Adventure Amidst Nature

 
Your Bandipur National Park itinerary begins with a sunrise that ignites the sky in hues of gold. Embrace the morning's call to adventure with a guided trek that leads you through the dense forest. Discover hidden streams and cascading waterfalls as you breathe in the pure air and immerse yourself in nature's wonders. The forest comes alive with sounds, and sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a magical aura. Enjoy bird watching, bullock cart rides, or simply walking amidst nature.
After your exhilarating safari, it's time to immerse yourself in local culture. A visit to Gudalur allows you to interact with the local community, learning about their way of life and traditions. As the day winds down, relish a cosy evening by a bonfire, sharing stories under the star-studded canvas of the night sky.

Day 2: Bandipur National Park

 
As the second day begins, you set off on a jungle safari, your gateway to the wild wonders of Bandipur National Park. Choose between an open jeep safari, where you'll have unobstructed views of the landscape, or a Canter safari, offering a unique perspective as you traverse the forest. From majestic elephants to elusive tigers and vibrant birds, every moment in the wilderness is a brush with nature's masterpiece.
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, engage in enthralling adventure activities. Feel the rush of the wind as you soar above the treetops or descend down rocky terrain. These adrenaline-pumping experiences add a new dimension to your Bandipur getaway. In the evening, you can pay a visit Mangala village or go on a nature walk and immerse yourself in the serene surroundings.

Day Beyond

 
If your adventure spirit beckons for more and your journey extends beyond 2 days, Bandipur's neighbouring gems await your exploration. A visit to the historic Gopalaswamy Betta Temple, perched atop a hill, rewards you with panoramic views of the lush landscape. Alternatively, Moyar River offers a serene backdrop for contemplation, with its serene waters reflecting the beauty of the surroundings. If you are up for a drive, you could make a pit stop at Ooty, around 2 hours away, and be back by evening.
