Outstanding location, Great food, activities, lake cruises, genuine staff...what more can one ask for? waiting to go back! Not to miss the water safari and bird sighting, Next nearest resort or habitat is about 10 km away, so its pretty isolated (per Indian standards), Ideal for solo or a group

To rate this first: Nice and pleasant staffs (there's a guy called Ravi, really helpful), might seem lil pricey but I wouldn't worry much about it, good huts - each with a view of the river, ok food. 4 stars!! Quiet a surprise this was. Drove from Bangalore to River Tern and must say it was a pleasurable trip, nice... More

This was a office trip, so we were circumspect initially on the drive (we drove from Chennai to the property) about 680 kms in about 11 hours, whether they will permit us to make reasonable noise as the purpose was training as well as enjoy the jungle lodge. We found the place clean, well-maintained, hospitable, we had taken about 14... More

This is the most outstanding of all the Jungle Lodge holiday resorts. The Lodge adjoins the lake which was created for a dam , so it is an artificial lake. The rooms are pretty nice. The staff is very nice and friendly. The jungle safari is also pretty good but don't expect to see much. Well the drawbacks - the... More

This place is spectacularly located on the banks of the Bhadra reservoir. The rooms on the `island' where I stayed were large and very comfortable, with beautiful views of the lake. Its a bit of a hike to the dining area as one has to go down and then up a few flights of stairs, so may be difficult on... More

Ive been to this place twice. Like other reviewers say the view is mind boggling. This place is good to explore for wildlife enthusiasts, nature lovers as well as adventure junkies. You have loads of activities on board. We went on a jungle safari where we were lucky to spot a leopard. The highlight for us was the boat safari... More

An ideal place to relax, do birding River terns, ausprey, black eagle, darters and many more Boats are a bit noisy, safari by road is ok, food is good, but can get on you if you stay for long The highlight is the water front, the huge expanse of Bhadra river back water, makes the place a treasured jewel

We stayed here for 2D1N and wished we had stayed more. The resort is sprawling and on the banks of the beautiful and serene Bhadra reservoir. Unlike other jungle lodges, this one has air-conditioned rooms. We took rooms in new block, which is on an island, accessed by the bridge from the main resort. The view from the rooms is... More

The best thing about the River tern lodge is its view from the cottage- river and hills beyond that. Seeing this view is very relaxing and therapeutic. Its one of the best cottages I have been to. Apart from that their bathroom is really good- large, clean and you can a have view of the river from there also ;-).... More
