Our Perspective
Our perspective on this property
Bhimgad Adventure Camp is the quietest and most unhurried property in the JLR network. On a forested hillock 10 km from Belgaum, next to the Belgaum Golf Course, this is a camp where the agenda is simple: the countryside, the birds, the forest trails and complete stillness.
Rates at Bhimgad are per room on twin sharing — not per person, unlike all other JLR properties. Two guests sharing a room at Rs 2,756 each pay just Rs 1,378 per person — making Bhimgad the most affordable JLR property in the network by a significant margin.
The camp is named after the Bhimgad Wildlife Sanctuary, notable for the Barapede Caves — the only known breeding area of the Wroughton's Free-tailed Bat, a critically threatened species. The forests here have the Malabar Trogon — one of India's most sought-after birds for serious birders.
Bhimgad is within 2 hours of Goa, Hubli and Kolhapur. A natural 1-2 night add-on to any Goa trip. Call us for Goa + Bhimgad combination planning.
