Although the cottages are beautifully located right from approach road to food is not even average or not at all worth the rates you pay.In Sanskrit it is said 'Yathaa raaja tathaa prajaa'. As the government is so is it's staff. The ethnic cottage one pays Rs. 2500 to 3500 per head per day including three meals.But rooms are not... More

Old magazine house is fast becoming a mecca for birdwatchers and photographers. I cannot think of too many places where you can just sit on the porch and have 20 to 30 species pose in front of you at close range, within a day! The camp itself is set within the outskirts of the jungle and is green and verdant.... More

I visited dandeli thrice and every time I stayed in this beautiful resort. This resort has dorm rooms as well as wooden two bedded rooms. Once you enter this resort, you will get a complete different feel after looking at the wooden row houses and tall trees in the middle of the forest. The hotel staff were very helpful. Food... More

I decided to usher in the new year with peace and quiet and Old Magazine House lived up to its expectations. Do not forget to buy nice pair of binoculars to fully... More

The location in the forest is simply perfect. The birds co,e to you here and all you need to do is to step out into the yard and sit... More

This property is our latest find and we can't get over it... Agreed, it is not luxurious....but who needs luxury in such great lush surroundings?? One needs the rooms only at night to get some good sleep [in my case, I could sleep the whole day cause it was very quite and pleasantly cold there]....and they serve this purpose very... More
