All you want to know about the Experience
Located on the edge of the Bhadra Reservoir in Chikmagalur district, River Tern Lodge is an oasis for wildlife and bird enthusiasts, creating an eco-tourism space to enjoy the beauty of untamed nature. Around the lodge, the backwaters of the river ripple in the background, and the sound of the water as it flows is a soothing noise as you explore your surroundings. In the Western Ghats, the River Tern Lodge was named after a nearby island. During their breeding season, hundreds of river terns flock to this lush, green slice of land. Their white feathers are a beautiful contrast against the emerald and brown of the landscape. One of the key delights as a guest of this lodge is spotting the river tern as it flits from tree to tree or quenches its thirst with the waters of the river.
Hop into a jeep safari during the cool evenings and make your way to the Bhadra Tiger Reserve just 4 km away from the lodge. This carefully conserved forest is a natural habitat for leopards, tigers, gaurs, elephants, crocodiles, deer, wild boars, monitor lizards, and more, so make sure you carry your binoculars to spot these magnificent beasts as they thrive in the region. If you’re an ornithologist, keep your eyes open to spot over 200 species of birds including the Grey Junglefowl, White-rumped Shama, Racket Tailed Drongo, Malabar Pied Hornbill, Brown Fish Owl, Grey-Headed Fish Eagle, Osprey, White Bellied Sea Eagle, and of course, the River Tern.
The River Tern Lodge Bhadra is also located close to the Sakrebyle Elephant Camp in case you’d like to interact with the Asian elephant, the royalty of the jungle! Apart from the variety of wildlife around the lodge, this jungle stay is a relaxing haven on its own. Kayak on the river and take in the surrounding greenery and birds. Feel like taking a refreshing dip? You can also go swimming with a guide or watch the sunset on a boat. All water-based activities at this lodge are supervised by trained experts and adhere to stringent safety guidelines. After a satisfying day frolicking in the water or sighting the rich wildlife in the Western Ghats, you can return to the homely Gol Ghar to end your day with a delicious meal. The buffet serves tasty vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, prepared fresh and hot for even the pickiest foodie to love.
