We spent a couple of days there and totally loved it. It makes for a wonderful getaway right in the lap of nature, far away from the din and chaos of the city. It is perfect to spend quality time with family and also indulge in your, “wild,” fantasies with a tiger safari in the famed jungles of Nagarhole.

JLR Kings Sanctuary Resort Nagarhole
After having stayed in various properties of Jungle Lodges And Resorts across Karnataka, it was time to experience the hospitality of JLR Kings Sanctuary in the pristine environs of Nagarhole. We have earlier stayed at Om Beach Resort in Gokarna, Devbagh Beach Resort in Karwar, Bhagvathi Nature Camp in Kudremukh, and Bannerghatta Nature Camp in Bangalore. Here is our experience and review of JLR Kings Sanctuary Resort Nagarhole.
JLR Kings Sanctuary Resort Location – In The Lap Of The Forest
One of the prime attractions of the properties of Jungle Lodges And Resorts is their incredible location, and the Kings Sanctuary Resort does not disappoint in this aspect. It is located far away from the madding crowds, right on the edge of the Nagarhole forest. As you walk within the campus of the resort, the only sounds that you are likely to hear, are the sound of your own footsteps, the whistling of the wind, and the chirping of birds, up in the mango trees.
The location is ideal to unwind and feel connected with nature. It is also great for spending uninterrupted quality time with family and enjoying the bounty of nature. This is one of the best resorts in Nagarhole, Karnataka.

Dining At Kings Sanctuary Resort – Jungle Lodges Nagarhole
It has been our experience at all the properties of Jungle Lodges where we have stayed, that they serve tasty and healthy food keeping in mind the local cuisine. Food at the Kings Sanctuary too was something that we relished. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and High Tea are served in the restaurant that is called Gol Ghar which is located in the centre of the property. The meals are all in the form of buffet spreads, where you can choose from a wide choice.
The restaurant serves the best of local cuisine inspired by the traditional cuisine of the Mysore region. It also incorporates the best of the elements of Pan-Indian cuisine in its menu. They also have continental and Chinese cuisine for those who prefer that. Hence you are likely to see noodles hobnobbing with the likes of Aloo Paratha and Mangalore Bonda on the buffet table.
