Three nights, six safaris
Bandipur is the closest reserve to us, about an hour and a half from Coonoor, and the trip is built to fit a long weekend: at the resort by lunchtime, six safaris across four days, and away after the last morning drive. Hosted by Lala. Transfers from the station or airport, safaris, the resort and all meals are covered; flights and trains are not.
The three nights
How the trip runs
Six safaris across four days.
Day 1 · one safari
Arrive at the resort by 12:30 and check in. Lunch, and time to get acquainted. The vehicle collects us from the resort for the afternoon safari; high tea is waiting when we come back. Before dinner we sit down together and go through the forest, whatever we saw, the photography and the animal behaviour behind it. Early night: day 2 starts before light.
Day 2 · two safaris
At the pick-up point early enough to be the first vehicle through the gate. Back to the resort afterwards to rest and clean up, another session on what the morning gave us, then lunch. Out again for the afternoon safari, high tea on return, dinner, and another early night.
Day 3 · two safaris
The same shape as day 2: the first vehicle through the gate, back to the resort to rest, another session on what the morning gave us, then lunch, the afternoon safari, high tea and dinner.
Day 4 · one safari, then home
The vehicle collects us for the morning safari and breakfast is served inside the park. Out of the gate, back to the resort, and away.
