Best Season to visit JLR Kings Sanctuary Resort
While the JLR Kings Sanctuary Resort Nagarhole is suitable for travel all year round, the October to May months is ideal for spotting animals and birds, since travel within the park is easier. It is better to avoid monsoon season if you are keen on wildlife spotting or birding.
March to May: The soaring temperature causes the forest to get dry, and trees start shedding leaves making wildlife sighting relatively easier. It’s an excellent time for birdwatching.
June to September: Being the monsoon season here, it is ideal for nature lovers looking for a quiet time to unwind since the area receives plenty of rainfall. Safari may be stopped owing to overcast conditions, and during heavy rains, the park may be closed for visitors. Watch out for leeches during a nature walk!
November to January: The locale is at its best during this winter period as the forest is at its lush green, vibrant best after the monsoon season. Many migratory birds transit the area during this time.

We enjoyed very much our stay at Dandeli. The location and surroundings are perfect. We were also impressed with the way Govt. of Karnataka is taking measures to retain and maintain the forests of Dandeli.The food was good too. The activities were also timed well and the staff is also well trained. We also thought the karwar location is perfect and the activities there were fun too..!! Also the food was good.
