Tiger Jungle Resort Masinagudi is a small, family-run lodge at the edge of the Western Ghats. We hire locally, we keep the lights low after dark, and we have been here long enough to know which morning is most likely to give you a tiger track across the road. Come stay with us. +91 8217553127.

Rooms with the jungle close

A handful of rooms, each opening onto the canopy. Hardwood floors, hot showers, mosquito nets that actually work. No televisions in the rooms, which is the point.

The forest does its part. So do we.

The Forest Department runs the safaris; we book your jeep, pack your water bottle, and put you in touch with the naturalists we trust. We do not feed wildlife. We do not promise tigers — we promise a fair chance.
