This trend, popular in Northern India with iconic properties in regions like Rajasthan's Ranthambore, Gujarat's Gir and Uttarakhand's Jim Corbett, has recently gained traction in the South, spurring the development of thoughtful retreats in areas like Kabini, Bandipur, Wayanad and Mudumalai.
These properties are designed to provide holistic experiences, offering everything from guided wildlife safaris and spa sessions to locally inspired gourmet dining and sustainable luxury accommodations.
Evolve Back resort in Kabini, for instance, offers a deep dive into the local Kuruba community's culture, with architecture inspired by their tribal huts, authentic culinary experiences, an ayurvedic spa and curated storytelling sessions alongside coracle river rides that connect guests to the land's heritage. Kabini, nestled in Karnataka is a premier destination for wildlife enthusiasts, thanks to the Kabini Forest Reserve, part of the Nagarhole National Park boasting elephants, tigers, leopards and over 250 species of birds.
Traverse the dense forests in a jeep, providing chance encounters with the big cats and mammals or a boat safari offering sightings of aquatic species and animals that frequent the riverbanks. ₹35,000 onwards. At Beerambally.
