Shortcut

If your idea of a weekend getaway involves touching base with nature through fun treks, bird watching, and river rafting, then the Sharavathi Adventure Camp is for you. Part of Jungle Lodges, the property overlooks the stunnning River Sharavathi. 

What Makes It Awesome

It’s really for anyone who wants to escape the Bangalore traffic and spend time in the fine company of birds, nature, and that beautiful locale of Sahyadri. The resort is located on the slopes of a hillock near the Talakalale Reservoir and it’s about 6 km trekking distance to the rather beautiful Jog Falls. See adventure begins the moment you step in. After you have checked into your room, don’t waste time dilly-dallying. Step out and explore the place that’s filled with green, birds, and butterflies.

The reservoir can be your first stop at adventure time. Get your adrenaline rushing with activities such as kayaking and coracle rides or simply laze around and do some fishing. Early mornings are perfect for a nature walk (and photo walk), so head out and explore the dense forests of Sharavathi Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. Jog Falls is one stop that you need to make no matter what. Guided trekking tours and bird watching are other activities that you can take part in and we say pack your binoculars and carry neutral coloured clothes to blend in.

Pro-Tip

The resort offers both cottage stay and day visit options. If you are driving down for a one-day getaway, then we suggest the day visit option where you can freshen up and take part in a few activities.
