This unpretentious eco-resort cedes the stage to the calling card of the area — the rich biodiversity of Kabini. It’s on the backwaters of the Kabini dam, with cottages build out of the red rammed earth that comes and goes back into the soil. They’re gatekeepers of responsible tourism, so you’ll find plenty of Earth-friendly activities to enjoy here, from coracle rides to the must-do Nagarhole safaris.
