After a long search for a best resort in Masinagudi area we came up with this resort "INN THE WILD"
We visited the place during May 17th & 18th of 2014. We stayed in the Jungle shack which was in the corner of the property .
The place : We reached Singara post at around 11 AM . we were picked up by a Jeep to reach the resort . The ride from the post till the resort itself is fun , where you need to travel through the coffee plantations , literally no road. A very bumpy and fun ride. The property is huge , lush green and far away from the hustle of any kind.
There is a huge reception area adjoined by the dining hall. Very well spaced , airy and clean . The staffs are welcoming and friendly. The cottages are placed in a way to take care of the privacy of the guests. There are two tree top houses and watch tower near to the water body where you can get amazing views of the jungle spread across. Many animals are said to have spotted near the water body like elephants , leopards , Indian Gaurs and some lucky ones have even spotted a tiger. there is no fencing around the campus and hence we were strictly advised not to leave our room during dark.
I did not mention Deers, Peacocks & Rabbits above , as they are permanent residents here . Not one or two , but herds and hers of deers which occupy the place around the cottages and gaze around all night.
Room : The jungle shack where we stayed was huge , clean and well maintained with attached bathroom and Geyser.Every cottage has a balcony and sitting there in the evenings and just watching the greenery and listening to the roars and grunts of tigers or leopards , the noises of langurs , cheetals and birds. Trust me , it is a bliss .
People from treetops must be getting a better view of the forest.
They have bigger rooms called Tribal home for larger groups. For a couple and a small kid , Jungle shack should be sufficient.
Staffs : The staffs are very good and friendly and they took care of us in every small way .
Thanks to the folks there.
Food : The food was served as Buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very yummy and tasty food. Did not expect such class inside the jungle. There are 2 options for non veg and medium spicy and less oil. Great food and we enjoyed thoroughly. Tea/snacks are available on request at extra cost from 3-6 PM.
Safari : There is a safari organised by the management which takes us in a open jeep in the night around their 65 acres of property. It lasts for 45 mins to 1 hour. We could spot many animals like malabar giant squirrils, peacocks and tuskers. if you are lucky then even leopards . The silence of the dark and the thrill of spotting some wild animals in itself is a good feeling. Spotting of animals is just pure luck , if not animals , enjoy the nature and its power .
Nature walk : Last but not the least , I should talk about the nature walk organised by the management. It is a trek through the jungle guided by a naturalist. It was more adventurous and the naturalist has good knowledge about the surroundings. He showed us pug marks of tigers and the crossings of elephants. Thanks to the naturalist Suneesh who was very friendly and informative.
Overall a very relaxing and enthralling experience for the weekend, far off from the noise and pollution in Bangalore to this very serene place , Inn the Wild. Truly we got in to the wild .
Now lets the picture talk more.
