We stayed two nights and had a wonderful experience. Both safaris yielded sightings of deer, wild boar, wild dogs, elephants, bison, monkeys, langurs, turtles, owls, eagles, squirrels and a TIGER sipping at a water hole. Yashvanth, our Safari driver was persistent in watching and listening for any sound or movement that signalled an animal around. 
All the staff at the lodge were attentive and polite. Our room was clean, large and bright and the food served at all mealtimes was plentiful and delicious. 
Other activities included a bonfire whilst watching an informative wildlife movie of Nagarahole’s inhabitants.
We truly enjoyed our stay.

An amazing Safari experience

My husband and I are avid Wildlife Enthusiasts, Birding Freaks and Nature Lovers. This was our first visit to Nagarhole together, and our first stay at JLR Kings Sanctuary as well.

It was a splendid experience overall. Needless to say, the highlights of the stay were the Dining Experience and the Warmth of the Team's Hospitality. Food Quality was homely and lip smacking, with a great variety across meal periods. The team threw in all their efforts to ensure all Guests staying in-house were at their best of comfort levels.

Whilst we checked in on a Friday, we did spill over to a busy weekend. Safaris were thrilling, as we were fortunate enough to spot 3 Tigers across 2-3 of our rides. The Monsoons bring in a different terrain and landscape altogether to the forest. All of the fauna were beautifully perched against a lush green bokeh!

Weekends get crowded with limited Jeep Availability and the Safaris being overcrowded. The team accommodated us in, despite the situation - and we were utterly grateful.

A special note to all Drivers at Kings Sanctuary - for their sharp multi-tasked ability to cautious driving and excellent spotting skills in the jungle. 

Kudos to Mr. Siddaraju, Vijay and the Team (Darshan, Lakshman, Yashwanth and the rest) for an absolutely unparalleled experience at Nagarhole!

Gem of a Stay!

JLR King Sanctuary in Nagarhole shares similarities with JLR in Bandipur and Kabini, yet boasts spacious rooms that even the standard ones feel like suites with a private portico walkway. 
The resort is perfect for a morning or evening stroll, with breakout areas such as a pool, hammock, and trampoline for both adults and kids. 
The friendly and kind staff provide excellent service, and the food spread for all three meals is delicious. 
The highlight of the stay is the safari, where we were fortunate to spot tigers on two different occasions, each time encountering a different tiger. 
We also had close encounters with elephants and wild dogs, and spotted various other wildlife such as deer, Gaur, wild boars, turtles, Serpent Eagles, hawks, monitor lizards, and birds. 
Overall, our stay was a pleasant experience, and we can't wait to return for another thrilling adventure.

Amazing stay and experience

Set in all hues of greenery,  the ambience beckons me. I visited JLR, Nagaraholae twice this April. Absolutely smiling and courteous staff and the general manager as well. Specially Mr. Darshan and Mr. Surendra. It is an ideal setting for a great getaway! Food gets a green flag as it is highly delectable. I happen to visit with my family and was quite lucky to sight 2 tigers on different days. The Maharaja cottage is spacious and clean. Outdoor activities are an add advantage. But, the cycles need hauling. To sum up, it is a neat package. Good job, JLR Nagaraholae. Keep it coming!

EXHILARATING EXPERIENCE!

Spacious room, bathrooms very clean, property is environment friendly. Total no plastic zone. Very courteous staff, homely food, well organised jungle safari, special thanks driver bhira, without him we couldn't see tiger and other animals. I strongly recommend this resort. One of the Best experience.thank you JLR resorts.🤝🤗


Existing, outstanding and very satisfactory.

Its a jungle lodge so don't expect 5 star luxury.  Staff are excellent and very helpful, esp Mr Darshan at the reception / Food area. We chose the Maharaja package, no regrets about that.  Amenities are all good, AC in the bedroom but not in the ante-room, large bathroom, bathtub open to the sky.  No Wifi, but very good Airtel signal for voice and data.  Food is great and wholesome but not gourmet style.  Rooms are spacious, well furnished, but need a little maintenance.  Power takes some time to return - a few minutes, and this happens several times daily.  Safari is great, with possibility of sighting many animals although Tiger may be elusive...  You enter the Jungle almost immediately, but travel about 45 mins through the Jungle (public road) before branching off into a mud road into the jungle proper.  So half the time is spent on the main road and not the interior jungle road.  But animal sightings are common even on the public road.  

A great Jungle Lodge with good Land Safari and animal sightings

My stay at JLR Kings Sanctuary was highlighted by Yeshwant's incredible safari expertise and Darshan's attentive service. Their dedication truly enhanced the experience. However, bad maintenance including the room's shoddy furniture, plumbing issues, and the presence of a rat were notable downsides. Despite these issues, the scenic jungle backdrop made for a memorable visit.

Brilliant safari and service but  rooms not upto mark

Love JLR

Two families went here for a vacation. The facility is big and neatly maintained.  So is the pool. Kids spent considerable time in the pool.  They ran, cycled around the property.  The food was good and served on time.

The sightings weren't great during the safari, but such is the nature of safari. It's  a matter of chance.



Neat resort, good forest experience

After looking thru all resorts at Kabini we decided to stay at JLR and we were not disappointed. The maharaja cottage that we stayed in was large , had a sit out , river facing and very serene . The morning and evening safaris are a part of the package …(quite convenient to step out of room and they were very punctual ). The boat safari was also good. The staff is helpful. It’s not a super luxury stay ( one would assume with the high charges , maybe coz it was 15th aug weekend ) but a neat n clean , Eco friendly place with good amenities n best staff / vehicles for safari. Meals are served as buffet at Golghar ( a central restaurant) and the variety / quality is ok. Their ayurveda massage centre was also ok and I had a good experience. So all in all, If your plan is to just chill at Kabini and enjoy luxury with fancy meals , then opt for other resorts but if you want decent accommodation, excellent safari and experience, then this place is highly recommended
