About this stay

Rangers Camp Dandeli is a jungle hangout in Bamanagi with tent, cottage and commando-style stay options. The property sits in the tiger reserve belt — homemade meals, campfire evenings and a short hop to the safari gate.

On site you get kayaking, boating, jacuzzi bath, swimming, archery, cycling, air-gun shooting and light games (volleyball, basketball, badminton). Sightseeing toward Disney Park, Crocodile Park, Supa Dam, Magod / Syntheri Falls and Kavala / Ulavi is easy to add with a cab.

The safari counter is roughly 1 km away (about Rs 400 per head). Because the camp is inside the reserve belt, loud music is strictly prohibited. Listed packages start around Tent Rs 1600 and Cottage Rs 1900 per person — confirm the latest rate on WhatsApp.

How to reach

From Dandeli bus stand: cab toward Bamanagi / Rangers Camp.
From Alnavar or Dharwad: share your train time and we will suggest a pickup (cabs from about Rs 2000 depending on route).
Self-drive: pin “Rangers Camp Bamanagi Dandeli”; the last stretch is a village / forest road.

Vikram S. · Guest review · 5/5

Very close to the safari gate — we locked a morning jeep easily. Homemade food and campfire were solid.
Ananya R. · Guest review · 4/5

Tent stay was fine for the price. Bring swimwear for the pool. Quiet nights because loud music is banned.
Karthik M. · Guest review · 4/5

Liked the tree-bridge lodge feel and the games area. Confirm jacuzzi and kayaking on your dates.
Priya N. · Guest review · 5/5

Good jungle hangout for friends. Staff helped with a cab for Syntheri the next morning.
