It seemed like a \'Portrait\'. The location was ideal, right in front of the reservoir. In the morning you can hear the animals and birds, and see them walk in front of you. More

About The Serai

Kapila Wilderness Retreat is situated on the banks of river Kabini in the vicinity of Nagarhole and Bandipur wildlife reserves. Together, Nagarhole & Bandipur spreads over 1500 sq km of tropical forests and the two parks are separated by the river. An outdoor gazebo-styled restaurant rustles up vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare. Activities at the resort include boat & jeep/bus wildlife safaris; wildlife film screenings; nature walks; kayaking, sailing, boating; cycling; bonfires etc. Best time to visit is Sept-Feb, though one can witness one of the largest congregations of Asiatic elephants in the dry summer months till May.

Rooms & Amenities

19 rooms and a villa scattered along the river bank provide accommodation. The furnished rooms have attached baths and verandas that offer a view of the backwaters. Though basic first aid and medication is available, it is advised to plan for any special medication you might be regularly on - the nearest pharmacy is 30 km away. Warm clothing is recommended during the monsoon and colder months, while dress codes for forest visits are: Khaki, green, or such dull colours and shoes. Smoking in the park and flash photography is not allowed since they tend to disturb the animals. Domestic pets not allowed.
