The Bison Resort,Kabini, is one of the many resorts that have sprung on the northern banks of the Kabini backwaters, bordering the Nagarhole national park of Karnataka.
If you close your eyes and try to imagine a place filled with serenity, devoid of TV, internet, noise and pollution – The Bison resort Kabini would be it! Though our visit to the Bison resort was for 2 days we have forged memories which will easily last for a lifetime.
What to Expect
- Serene calmness – the kind which you can only get at a waterfront.
- Good food – though its a set menu the cook was open to requests for the next days menu.
- Exclusivity – there are only seven Tents and two Machans. We stayed in a Machan
- Lots of spare time
- Friendly staff
What not to expect
- Technology, Internet, Televisions – there are no signs of the same, for a good reason though!
- Close encounters with animals – The forest boundaries are well barricaded with solar fencing, keeps away elephants. The safaris (twice a day) are conducted by the forest authorities and cost an additional 1350/- Re per person. Tiger/Leapord sightings are rare when the Kabini backwater levels are high, so plan your visit accordingly.
Recommendations
- The last 12 kms are bad (tar roads are being laid as I write now), so set aside minimum of 45 mins for the same, and plan your journey in a vehicle with a reasonable ground clearance to avoid cringing moments. I used a Maruthi Suzuki Swift and it sailed.
