Culinary Delight

During my stay at The Serai Bandipur, I had the pleasure of dining at the Sanctuary Restaurant. The buffet was a real treat, featuring unique and delicious dishes that kept impressing me each meal. The chefs demonstrated their skill with live cooking stations, and I was particularly fond of the South Indian culinary options, especially the mouthwatering masala dosa served at breakfast. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys great food! My experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish.

The spa services were great, and I enjoyed a refreshing foot and back massage that melted away all my stress. The environment was serene, allowing me to deeply relax during my treatment. I felt revitalized and ready to enjoy the rest of my vacation after spending time at the spa. This is a must-try when staying here!

Spacious Log Hut

I stayed in one of the log huts at The Serai Bandipur, and it was an amazing experience! The hut was spacious, beautifully designed, and came with a trendy bathroom that added a touch of luxury. The open views from the balcony were amazing and truly made me feel immersed in nature. I appreciated the privacy the hut provided, making it a perfect retreat for relaxation. I almost didn't want to leave my room due to how comfortable and lovely it was.

Active Nature Walks

One of the highlights of my stay was the organized nature walks offered by the resort. I participated in an evening nature walk where I explored the beautiful surroundings, learned about various bird species, and enjoyed the fresh air. It was a fantastic way to stay active while appreciating the lush landscape around the resort. I highly recommend taking part in this activity—it's both enriching and relaxing!

My stay at Serai Bandipur was a mix of great nature experiences and frustrating service. The location in the jungle is stunning and perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, but the road leading to the resort is in terrible shape. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but some amenities, like prompt room service, fell short of expectations. Dining options were decent, though the experience was often marred by slow service. It's an enjoyable getaway if you're prepared for some inconveniences.
