What We Love
 
Responsible Tourism:
 

The red mud used in the construction of their houses at Kabini was originally unearthed. In addition, they built the cottages out of rammed earth, making almost all of the materials utilized for the houses environmentally sustainable. Additionally, they used locally produced Athangudi tile for the floors, supporting the local artisans.

 
Swimming Pool:
 

The resort has a rectangular-shaped pool that faces the lake which provides you with beautiful views while you swim and have some fun in the pool.

 
Dining:
 

Their family-friendly organic eatery is called Poshini. Most of the cuisine is Indian and reflects the locality they are in to please everyone's palates.

 
Bar:
 

The Wetlands Bar is an island bar on the property that has a wrap-around verandah and is next to a body of water. The bar is a place to relax, enjoy fantastic music, socialize with people from all over the world, or just kick back with a book or a game of snooker.

 
Cafe:
 

Situated on one end of the property, the Wonky Monkey cafe is housed on a deck that provides an expansive view of the Kabini. Its position and ambiance are unparalleled, whether it's for its stargazing, dining under the sky, or its view of the vast backwater.

 
Unique Experiences/Activities
 
Jungle Safari:
 

Take an open-top jeep safari in the Nagarhole National Park, making sure to have your cameras ready so you can see every angle of the bush.

 
Chorus Walk:
 

Do you think you understand bird calls? You will get the opportunity to attempt direct communication with the birds during their early morning bird-watching session. Kabini is a birder's paradise, with about 300 species of avifauna, many of which are native to the area.

 
Spa:
 

Visit their on-site spa, Zvaasthi, to de-stress, treat yourself, and indulge your senses. Their employees have professional training and they make all of their products using only natural components.

 
Water Activities:
 

Take a chance on some adventure in Kabini's backcountry. Take a coracle trip around the river's waters, just like the natives do.

 
Kabini Backwaters: 

Take a peaceful stroll among the backwaters of Kabini, where each step reveals the underlying beauty of the environment. Enjoy the soothing sound of the flowing water as you meander through verdant surroundings and make enduring memories in the middle of peace.

 
Chikka Devamma Betta:
 

Join them for an off-property journey to Chikka Devamma Mountain and experience the amazing nature. Take in the splendor of nature while hiking through mind-blowing scenery.

 
Buddhist Monastery Gurupura:
 

Take a spiritual trip at the Gurupura Buddhist Monastery, which is off-property. Discover historic customs, lose yourself in calm, and find solace in the serene surroundings.

YuYIII Highlight

Responsible Tourism

They used red mud that was originally unearthed when the property was being developed for their houses at Kabini. In addition, the cottages are built using rammed earth, meaning that almost all of the materials used are environmentally benign. To support the neighborhood and local artists, they also employed handcrafted Athangudi tiling for the floors. Their produce is all sourced locally, and over 95% of their staff members are from nearby communities.
