Hotels in Kasad Gudi - B.R. Hills Wildlife Resort

B.R.Hills Wildlife Resort (K.Gudi) offers an unmatched combination of holiday at a hill-station and an opportunity for exploration of the wildlife. The resort is located in the heart of the Biligiri Rangaswamy Sanctuary (B.R.Hills) at K.Gudi, just 90 kms. from Mysore, on a hilly terrain at an altitude of 3300 ft., (to 5000 ft.,) above sea level.

At the camp, the deciduous, evergreen and grassland forests engulf you and put you right in the middle with the wild animals and birds that the jungle is home to. The forest is at its best greenery during June to November and wildlife is sighted round the year.

A unique feature of the camp is that there is no electricity in the tents & the log-hut. Electricity, however, is provided in the hunting lodge between 7pm to 10.30 pm. As the nightfalls and the stars shine, the resort lights up with hurricane lamps, a transformation that is mystical.
