We had a memorable time in Delhi and Agra, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of seeing the city and the countryside as we traveled between the two cities. The sites were amazing, as expected, and our guides were able and helpful in explaining what we were seeing and answering our many questions. They did a great job of ensuring we were able to get great photos as well along the way.

Alkof Holidays was a very good choice for arranging an individual journey throughout Darjeeling, Sikkim and Bhutan in November 2025. The planning via e-mail was easy and turned out to be perfect. The whole tour was professionally organized and included all important points of interest as well as our individual preferences. The guides and drivers in Darjeeling/Sikkim as well as in Bhutan were very nice, helpful and competent. Mr. Sanjeev Kumar himself was at all times very polite, kind and accommodating. Thank you! I can highly recommend Alkof Holidays!

First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars!

First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars!... First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars! When my friend Elisabeth and I decided to take this trip, Mr. Sanjeev Kumar contacted us — and that turned out to be the best choice we could have made! He suggested different hotels, recommended excursions, and always ensured we had options that met our expectations and complete satisfaction. He customized the tour according to our wishes in the best possible way. He arranged highly competent, pleasant, friendly, and helpful guides and drivers with excellent cars. They always accepted all our ‘extra wishes,’ such as photo stops or changes in the planned schedule, and were always exactly on time. Mr. Gurvinder Singh gave us a wonderfully informative tour in Kolkata. During our days in Darjeeling, we had Mr. Amid Gurung, who was extremely caring, helpful, and always adjusted the excursions—especially those involving many steps or steep climbs—to my age (79). He supported me with great caution by holding my arm or hand whenever needed. Our driver, Mr. Binai, was the best driver you could imagine, especially considering the road conditions—landslides, rocks, roadwork, heavy traffic—but he handled everything perfectly and calmly! In Bhutan, our guide Mr. Sungay was such a pleasant companion and shared a lot about the country, its people, religion, and lifestyle. Our driver Ellis was also very kind, but Elisabeth somehow did not feel comfortable with his driving (although I did not agree!). So, we changed to Mr. Rimchen, another extremely kind, helpful, charming, pleasant, and excellent driver. We had a wonderful and very interesting trip with extraordinary views of mountains, monasteries, temples, tea estates, forests, rivers, flowers, and beautiful houses. We met unforgettable, kind people — and to top it all, we enjoyed blue skies and warm sunshine every single day! Mr. Sanjeev Kumar was always reachable whenever needed. Even when we returned to Delhi, he accompanied us to an extraordinary fabric factory that my friend wanted to visit. He arranged a car for the visit and organized a bigger vehicle for our return to the airport to accommodate all our luggage. Thanks to ALKOF HOLIDAYS, and especially to Mr. Sanjeev Kumar — who spent so much time and effort arranging our reservations, visas, and all the special extras — we look back on a wonderful trip we will never forget. We will continue to enjoy all the photos we took! We will certainly recommend ALKOF HOLIDAYS to all our friends and family who are interested in tours to Southeast Asia. Once again, my sincere thanks and best regards to Alkof Holidays! Sylvia Veronika Lukas

Bandipur National Park Travel FAQs

Bandipur is home to tigers, leopards, elephants, wild boar, spotted deer, sambar deer, and gaur. The park also has over 200 bird species including peacocks, hornbills, and various raptors. Tigers and leopards can be spotted during safaris, though sightings depend on wildlife movement patterns. Elephant herds are commonly seen, especially near water sources. The dense forest cover means patience is needed for wildlife viewing.

The best time to visit Bandipur National Park is from October to March when the weather is pleasant and wildlife sightings are more frequent. For more details visit Bandipur National Park Travel Guide.

Two days allow for multiple safari drives and better wildlife spotting chances. Most packages combine Bandipur with nearby Nagarhole National Park or Mysore city as part of longer Karnataka itineraries. Single day visits are possible but limit safari opportunities. Three days provide comprehensive coverage including both morning and evening game drives across different zones of the park.
Bandipur offers jeep safaris and bus safaris through its designated routes. Jeep safaris provide better mobility and wildlife viewing opportunities in smaller groups. Bus safaris accommodate larger groups but follow fixed routes. Both morning and evening safaris are available, with morning drives typically starting around 6:30 AM and evening drives around 3:30 PM. All safaris include park permits and trained forest guides.
Bandipur is located 80 kilometers from Mysore and 220 kilometers from Bangalore. The nearest airport is Mysore Airport, though most travelers fly into Bangalore. Regular bus services connect Bandipur to Mysore, Ooty, and other nearby towns. Private vehicles can access the park via well-maintained roads. Most tour packages include private transportation from Bangalore or Mysore as part of multi-destination Karnataka itineraries.
Several jungle resorts and lodges operate near the park entrance, ranging from budget accommodations to luxury wildlife resorts. Government-run forest lodges are available inside the park premises. Many visitors stay in nearby Gundlupet town which offers various hotel options. Tour packages typically include accommodation arrangements that suit the overall itinerary, often combining Bandipur stays with other destinations in Karnataka.
Pack neutral-colored clothing in earth tones to avoid disturbing wildlife. Bring warm layers for early morning safaris, especially during winter months. Essential items include sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, and a hat. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for nature walks. Cameras with telephoto lenses work well for wildlife photography. Avoid bright colors, strong perfumes, and noisy accessories during safari drives.
Bandipur pairs well with Mysore for its palace and cultural sites, Nagarhole National Park for additional wildlife experiences, and Ooty for hill station landscapes. Many itineraries combine these destinations over 4-7 days. Some packages extend to include Coorg for plantation visits or Hassan for temple architecture. The proximity to Kerala border also allows combinations with Wayanad district attractions.
Bandipur National Park operates from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. Morning safaris typically run from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM, while evening safaris operate from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM. The park remains closed during lunch hours. Safari timings may vary slightly based on season and daylight hours. Advanced booking is recommended, especially during peak season from December to February.
Visitors must follow strict silence during safaris to avoid disturbing wildlife. Getting out of vehicles is prohibited except at designated spots. Smoking, littering, and feeding animals are strictly banned. Photography using flash is not allowed. All safaris must be accompanied by trained forest guides. Children below 5 years are not permitted on safaris. Mobile phones should be kept on silent mode throughout the park visit.
