The Bison is a jungle lodge situated on the River Kabini on the periphery of the Nagarhole National Park in Karnataka, India. The camp offers you a blend of wild life and adventure. It is located 5 hours away from Bangalore and 90 minutes away from the town of Mysore. It’s spread over 12 acres on the banks of the Kabini river.

The Bison is Naturalist Saad Bin Jung’s venture and he and his wife personally welcome guests to the camps. The Bison has seven tents and one loft and plans are on the anvil to build another couple of tents to meet the growing demand. Each of the tents has a large four poster bed, dressing table, and a bathroom. The dining room has a breath taking view and the meals are wholesome with roti, dal, and chaawal.

Try and beat the rush from the neighboring resorts by leaving early and you might get to a variety of animals like tuskers, leopards, tigers, etc, birds, and amphibians out of the 100 species of mammals, 350 birds, 80 reptiles, 39 fish, 31 amphibians, 316 butterflies present in the Nilgiris biosphere-of which Kabini constitutes a small fraction.

It is the closest to the Nagarhole forest boundary – so close that you can see wild animals coming to drink water in the Kabini River from the comfort of your bed itself. Every tent in the lodge offers a panoramic view of the Kabini river and the Nagarhole forests with the river coming as close as 100 meters from the tents. You are separated from the wild world of Nagarhole just by this stretch of river water and in summer this barrier thins considerably.
