킹스 생추어리 나가르홀 & 카비니

We stayed one night at King’s Sanctuary – JLR and were pleasantly upgraded to the Maharaja package. Special thanks to the team for calling us when we lost our way—there’s a long no-network patch and Google Maps wasn’t reliable, so that call really helped. Check-in was smooth, and lunch was served immediately—local, simple flavors, neither too spicy nor oily. Our upgraded cottage, accessed via golf cart, was spacious with a living room, bedroom, balcony, and a comfortable roll-away bed for the third guest. The bathroom was clean, and the outdoor bathtub was a nice touch. However, the cottage showed visible signs of wear—cracked walls, old curtains, worn-out furniture, and gaps in doors that could let insects in. Fixtures worked but felt dated. The space deserves a much-needed upgrade to align with current expectations. The indoor games room also looked neglected—better to maintain it well or not offer it at all. Dining was a highlight. Dinner stood out, especially for the non-veg spread, and the vegetarian options were equally flavorful. Darshan and Darshan J at Golghar were warm and attentive. The dining area would benefit from better lighting, fans or ventilation, and mosquito control. The safari to Nagarhole was enjoyable—we saw elephants, gaurs, deer, and more. The 20 km stretch to the park gate is under repair and very bumpy, and the drive is quite fast—guests should be prepared. One binocular shared among all guests was limiting; ideally, one per group should be provided. Wi-Fi was patchy in rooms but stable at the dining area. The property manager shared that the resort is a great birdwatching spot, which we appreciated. Final Thoughts: A peaceful retreat with great food and hospitality. With better upkeep and room upgrades, it could be a truly standout jungle escape.

Excellent place to stay & for jungle safari, we saw elephants, tiger, gour, chittagong deers, wild dogs, paint malabar squirrel, sambar deers, serpentine halk eagle ect in 3 safari 2 days tour. Very satisfied tour with a purpose.

Location , stay , food and safari everything is good 👍🏼!! Only drawback is only one free safari. And camera charges also bit high.

We stayed two nights and had a wonderful experience. Both safaris yielded sightings of deer, wild boar, wild dogs, elephants, bison, monkeys, langurs, turtles, owls, eagles, squirrels and a TIGER sipping at a water hole. Yashvanth, our Safari driver was persistent in watching and listening for any sound or movement that signalled an animal around. All the staff at the lodge were attentive and polite. Our room was clean, large and bright and the food served at all mealtimes was plentiful and delicious. Other activities included a bonfire whilst watching an informative wildlife movie of Nagarahole’s inhabitants. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Spacious big room, balcony with clean toilets, food was good home style.

JLR King Sanctuary in Nagarhole shares similarities with JLR in Bandipur and Kabini, yet boasts spacious rooms that even the standard ones feel like suites with a private portico walkway. The resort is perfect for a morning or evening stroll, with breakout areas such as a pool, hammock, and trampoline for both adults and kids. The friendly and kind staff provide excellent service, and the food spread for all three meals is delicious. The highlight of the stay is the safari, where we were fortunate to spot tigers on two different occasions, each time encountering a different tiger. We also had close encounters with elephants and wild dogs, and spotted various other wildlife such as deer, Gaur, wild boars, turtles, Serpent Eagles, hawks, monitor lizards, and birds. Overall, our stay was a pleasant experience, and we can't wait to return for another thrilling adventure.
