What is special about K Gudi compared to Kabini or Bandipur?

K Gudi is the most remote JLR property — set deep inside BRT forest at the unique junction of Western and Eastern Ghats. Safari terrain is hilly and undulating unlike flat drives at Kabini or Bandipur. The Soliga tribal community lives here — staff are from the tribe and village visits can be arranged. Power runs limited hours by design. No TV. Liquor strictly prohibited.

Is liquor allowed at K Gudi Wilderness Camp?

No. Liquor is strictly prohibited on the K Gudi campus as the property is inside a tiger reserve. This applies to all guests.

What is the BRT Tented Package at K Gudi?

The BRT Tented Package consists of 34 sq m tented cottages set on raised concrete platforms with attached bathrooms. Each cottage is named after a bird species of South India (e.g. White-cheeked Barbet, Plum Headed Parakeet). These are the most popular accommodation at K Gudi — closest to the forest experience with animals sometimes heard outside at night.

How many nights should I stay at K Gudi?

Minimum 2 nights. The camp is 225 km from Bengaluru. A 2-night stay gives 4 safaris plus a nature walk, wildlife film shows and campfire evenings. For 2-night stays, JLR arranges a complimentary visit to the Ranganathaswamy hilltop temple — an ancient 500-year-old pilgrimage site.

Our Perspective

Our perspective on this property

K Gudi Wilderness Camp is the most remote and immersive experience in the JLR portfolio — and that is precisely why it attracts a very specific kind of traveller. Those who have been to Kabini and Bandipur and want to go deeper, quieter, further into Karnataka’s wild.

Set inside the BRT Wildlife Sanctuary at BR Hills — the unique point where the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats meet — K Gudi offers something genuinely different. The hilly terrain means safaris wind through undulating forest trails with sweeping views. The Soliga tribal community — one of Karnataka’s most ancient forest peoples — lives here and K Gudi guests can visit their villages. Power runs for limited hours by design, and there is no TV. This is intentional.

The guests who love K Gudi most are those who understand that the point is not the room — it is falling asleep hearing a Sambar deer’s alarm call from the valley below, and waking to bird calls at dawn.

Our advice: 2 nights minimum. And note — liquor is strictly prohibited on campus. Call us and we will help you plan the right visit.
