Bangalore: Nagarhole Safari & Namdroling Monastery Tour

Embark on a 2-day adventure from Bangalore to Nagarhole National Park. Enjoy jeep safaris, stay in a forest lodge, and visit the Namdroling Monastery.
Begin your adventure with an early morning departure from Bangalore, leaving the city’s hum behind as you head toward the whispering forests of Nagarhole. Enjoy a comfortable 5-hour drive to the edge of the jungle.

Check in at a forest lodge nestled amid the trees. After a welcome drink and lunch, unwind and listen — the forest is never truly silent.

In the afternoon, climb into your open jeep and venture deep into the jungle with an experienced naturalist. Nagarhole is home to tigers, Asiatic elephants, leopards, wild dogs, sloth bears, and the elusive black panther. Keep an eye out for over 300 bird species, including hornbills, crested serpent eagles, and Malabar trogons.

As the sun dips low, the forest glows gold. It’s prime time for predator movement. Cameras ready — this is the thrill you've been waiting for. Return to the lodge by 6:30 PM. Relax around a bonfire. Share stories, enjoy a hearty dinner, and fall asleep to the symphony of crickets, owls, and distant roars.

On the second day, wake up early for a morning safari. Explore a different zone of the park. Look out for fresh pugmarks, grazing gaur, and those spine-tingling moments of eye contact with something wild. Return to the lodge for breakfast by 9:30 AM. Freshen up and check out.

Before heading back to Bangalore, stop at the Namdroling Monastery — the largest Tibetan monastery in South India. Step into a world of prayer wheels, golden Buddhas, and chanting monks. It’s the perfect way to slow down, reflect, and carry a sense of peace with you after the thrill of the wild. Return to Bangalore by 7:30 PM (traffic permitting), your heart full of memories and your camera full of wildlife.
