Jungle Lodges & Resorts
🐇 Wildlife & Safari Camps
JLR’s core safari properties — jeep safaris, tiger and elephant territory, and Karnataka’s major wildlife reserves.
🌊 River & Adventure Camps
Riverside stays built around water — rafting, coracle rides, angling and adventure activities alongside the forest.
🏖 Beach Resorts
JLR’s Arabian Sea coastline properties along Karwar and Gokarna — beach access alongside eco-resort comfort.
🏛 Heritage & Palace Stays
Stays with a story — a former royal palace, a heritage bungalow, and a wilderness resort inside Hampi’s ruins.
🏔 Hill Station Retreat
Karnataka’s only JLR hill-station property — cooler climate, forest views, a change of altitude from the rest of the portfolio.
🏟 Rustic Nature Camps
JLR’s five smaller camps — limited facility, accommodation from dormitory to tent to cottage. Genuinely rustic, not resort-style, and priced accordingly.
