Great place, serene, quiet, very friendly and helpful staff. Sukanta, the manager was awesome, without him, I don't believe our experience would have been anywhere close to what it was. The evening Bon fires were awesome.

As a family we were there on 13/5 12 to 14/5/12.The accomodation is good and the food was nice.They take care of the guests very well and very attentive.The drive into the jungle was worth the money paid, nope we did not see the tiger but then Mr.Sukanthdas really cares and takes care of the guests.

If you have an appreciation of what eco-tourism really means, and wish to get close to Indian wildlife, then Dhole's Den may be for you. However, the place seems to heavily rely on Sukanta, the manager. He make things flow and ensure that things are done, plus he is also absolutely brilliant on the wildlife side of things. Not only...

We stayed here for 2 nights at the tail-end of January / early February as part of a fairly grand tour of South West India.

As others have... More

Most important, the people were fantastic, from owner to the hotel manager to the entire staff. You will enjoy them. And, if you are lucky,... More
