You will be mesmerized with the view of Bhadra River. We were in cottage no;10. The View will be more amazing if you stay in cottages from 11 to 23. Better to avoid 9 and 10. Log huts also have good view and near to the restaurant. If you stay in cottages, be ready for a good walk to reach the cottages. Even though I was my 2.5 year old daughter, we decided to stay in cottages and we enjoyed the walk.

Loved everything about this place, the room with its awesome view of bhadra backwater, courteous staff and delicious food . Would definitely want to come back and spend may be a weak or so without any hustle and bustle of a city

We stayed here on 30th of june. Great location and spacious rooms and neat toilets. Food was average. The jeep safari and the boat safari were intresting. The guide Ms.Saindavi is very informative and knowlegible. This place is not suitable for senior citizens because there is no room service and you have to climb staircase to reach the dining area for everything.

The rooms (cottages) were good but far from dining and parking. It is troublesome for elders and no room service. Water sports were cancelled but no substitutes provided. Otherwise a nice place to stay and staff are very cooperative with good food. Had few birds sighting with deers & wild buffaloes

One of the best properties of Jungle Lodges & Resorts visited till date!! Best Property in terms of Experience of the Forests, Boat Safaris and Nature!! The Property Overlooks the Bhadra River and is Serene!! Food ESP CHICKEN is delicious. Staff is Kind and Ever Smiling[ Inspite of carrying our big Bags Up and Down the Hill] . Ensure you mark this place for your next visit if you love Nature and Love the feeling of being Lost in the same!!!

Jungle and boat safari , bonfire , movie about Bhadra wildlife were all planned by the jungle lodges itself. So it was a very fun stay provided you are a nature lover

This is a Jungle Lodges property, and very similar to other locations in terms of the services offered. But the location is probably the best one I have seen in any JL resort. Perched on the side of a hill bang next to the Bhadra dam, the rooms have a spectacular view. Not much wildlife sighting, as is to be expected (since the forest has a lot of water). We were in a log hut which was very nicely designed. The cottages are on the other side (you need to cross a hanging bridge to get there). Water activities are minimal, and in any case, not advisable in the monsoon. Would highly recommend the boat safari though. The pricing is something they need to work on. The per person pricing model makes it very expensive for a family of 4. They offer very limited discounts, even during off season. On our first day, we were the only people in the entire resort! Surely its better to have higher occupancy. Overall, a wonderful, wonderful experience.

One of the best things about River Tern Lodge is the location, right next to the Bhadra Dam and Bhadra Tiger reserve The place has been maintained very well and close to nature. We had opted for the Cottages which are at some walking distance from the main reception and dining area, but offers the best view of the reservoir. The package includes the jeep and boat safaris, for a 2 day stay one can go for two jeep and two boat safaris which is actually a very good deal. The safaris are good fun, especially the boat one. The animal sightings ofcourse are purely based on luck. They also have other activities like Kayaking which we enjoyed at leisure. Loved the food spread-the breakfast especially was really good. All three meals are buffet and give a nice variety with good taste. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, also very knowledgeable and were always ready to answer our questions. The driver & guide during safaris were quite enthusiastic and kept us well informed. There were quite a few photography enthusiasts visiting and the guide/driver would never get tired of pointing out wildlife and waiting for the folks to get done with the photography without getting impatient. Overall very happy with the stay and want to try out the other JLR properties as well.

The two nights that we spent in River Tern Lodge was a wonderful experience.The forest on one side & the Bhadra on the other is a perfect setting for a relaxing vacation. Nice clean A.C.rooms ,spacious bathrooms, clean bed linens & towels ,tea & coffee maker in every room.The best feature is the private verandha where you can sit in peace & enjoy the amazing view of the Bhadra reservoir with its tiny islands.There are two types of accomodations, log huts & cottages. For family with kids & elderly persons log huts are a better option as they are near the dining & reception areas.Cottages are quite a distance away & walking back & forth for every meal or outing may not be everyone''s cup of tea.The package includes jeep safari & a boat cruise, both very enjoyable experience.The guides are very knowledgeable & helpful.Don''t be dissapointed if you don''t see many animals esp the tiger, the feel of the jungle is the main thing. The smiling faces of the helpful staff are an added bonus.The cuisine is mix of south & north indian variety & plentiful buffet spread. A little heavy on the spices but palatable. It is best to spend two nights here to really enjoy the place.Best time to see birds is from Jan-March. I highly recommend this lodge.
