More Photos ...

Jungle hut is located in the Nilgiri foothills (Tamilnadu, India), surrounded by hills and trees, at the edge of a game sanctuary of Bandipur and Madumalai famous for its elephants and tigers. The jungle teems with many other wild species--gaur, sambhar, gaint indian squirrels, mouse deer, wild dogs and much more. The variety of birds flitting in and out of our trees make birdwatchers drool! The countryside is beautiful at any time of the year. There are many things to do and see around Jungle Hut. One can go swimming n the natural pools created by some magnificent gorges nearby. There are an endless number of picnic spots and hiking paths. The famous hill station, Ootacamund, at a height of 7,500ft., is just an hours drive away.

At 3000 feet above sea level and a range of climatic conditions, our holiday estate is surrounded by a wealth of plant and animal life that thrives amidst sparkling streams and virgin jungle. Here you can trek meandering forest paths, enjoy peace and quiet under starry skies, or be bold and explore your wild side with a jungle safari. At the end of the day treat yourself to a hot shower in our cozy cottages and then relax for a while on verandahs that offer breathtaking views while ensuring your privacy. When you're hungry, come on up to our dining area, we cater buffet meals with a home cooked feel. Our eclectic spreads please both Asian and Continental palates, not forgetting vegetarian and non-vegetarian preferences. Our buffet is even more delectable as veggies, herbs and spices are freshly handpicked from our backyard. Your meals are complemented by the ambience of our candle-lit dining area overlooking the swimming pool.

Trekking

Walking shoes are definitely advisable on our treks as the forest paths are undulating, featuring rocky outcrops, bouldered streams, gnarled roots, and steep inclines.
This deciduous forest boasts a wealth of flora and fauna for the avid nature lover. There is every chance of seeing/encountering wildlife (sloth bears, elephants, bison, dholes, tiger, panther, a variety of birds, etc.) at close quarters. So, if that tree trunk you're leaning on moves, break into prayer and a full-paced run. The birds are particularly varied and exotic, due to an immediate change in elevation of 3500 feet that provides a variety of climatic conditions, which appeal to over 320 species of birds. The climb, reasonably challenging, begins through bamboo, passes dry deciduous forest, eucalyptus trees and finally the famed tea plantations of the Nilgiris. A guide will accompany every party of trekkers, to provide information on the flora and fauna, as well as to see to your safety.

Alternatively one could also trek thorough open meadows along babbling brooks, rivers and watering holes. The topography can be as distinctive as grassland to scrub jungles to deciduous forests. here is no television, no telephone and no music in the rooms to invade the peace and quiet of the surroundings. This creates an atmosphere of utter serenity, which is as refreshing as it is rare. Here you hear the true sounds of the jungle coming alive at night - the sounds that Corbett wrote fondly about...

If a taste of sheer luxury in the wild is what you were looking for, try our deluxe cottages. These spacious rooms are well appointed and each has a private verandah offering a panoramic view of the mountains. Four of these eight rooms are air-conditioned.

Our regular cottages are a perfect place for you to rest after a wonderfully relaxing day. These rooms are furnished with local material, in-house paintings, and verandahs that skirt the forest. With beautiful natural scenery from your porch don't forget to come up for dinner.
