Adventure And Camping: A Great Weekend Awaits At The Bear Mountain Jungle Resort, Masinagudi

With the Nilgiri Hills as a backdrop and the Masinagudi jungles as a setting, Bear Mountain is an idyllic resort with a spectacular view and a bunch of adventure activity options — from camping to trekking.

Set in the Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary, the Bear Mountain Resort is a confluence of mountains and wildlife in a dramatic lush green setting. Although they have many kinds of stay options, we’d say book their scenic cottages, which come with an extended verandah and hammock for the city slicker. If you prefer to be smack in the centre of unspoiled nature and hang out with herds of deer, book yourself a place at Bear Mountain’s campsites.

At Bear Mountain you don’t just sit and admire nature, you also get to explore it to its full capacity. The resort offers guides, who will take you on trails that lead to waterfalls and streams. Wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers can bring along their cameras and binoculars, to make the most of the safari rides organised at different times of the day. Regular sightings include deer, birds depending on the season and on very rare occasions — the elusive tiger.

Once you’re done marvelling at nature, tuck into the food which is basic, but you can’t get enough of. There are multi-cuisine choices, but made home-style along with a selection of grills on offer. Plus, barbecue, guys!

Make sure you time your trip the season, to get the most of your wildlife sightings and treks.
