Greenwoods nature camp

During first week of January, we started our journey from Hyderabad to Bandipur national park. My husband took the honor of booking the resort online. After lots of browsing and reading reviews, we settled with Greenwoods nature camp.

Thought it is just a place to stay, but after three days of staying there, this camp itself became a place for us to visit again. The service is great. When we reached Mysore, Vinay (our guide and driver) came to pick us up. It took around 3 hours to reach the resort from Mysore railway station. On the way, we saw a big bison, our first wildlife darshan in Bandipur national park.

The camp itself has breathtaking view of nature. It is surrounded by electric fence. We were bit scared when Vinay told that a Black Panther was roaming outside the camp the night before. Anyways, felt good to be inside jungle with wildlife stories :-).

 

 

And the garden outside the cottage is very refreshing.

Kids had fun collecting the fallen coconuts :-).

And the most memorable feature of the camp is the time spent with kitten and dog. Kids had lots of fun running around and playing with them and I was taken back to my childhood days.

Highlight of the camp is the great food service. Felt homely conversing in my broken Tamil language with Lakshmi(cook). Really admire her smile and hospitality. Never felt the need to buy anything outside, packed meals followed us wherever we went.

Our stay ended with campfire and then we headed to Banglore to meet friends.

I must say, this is a place to visit and enjoy the open armed nature's beauty.
