About

The River Tern Lodge takes its name from the nearby island that attracts a multitude of river terns during the breeding season. The lodge is situated atop a hillock on the edge of the Bhadra Reservoir, in close proximity to Lakkavalli and just a stone s throw away from the northern boundary of the Bhadra Tiger Reserve, in the Chikmagalur district. With pleasant weather year-round, the River Tern Lodge is a perfect destination for nature lovers. The monsoon season from June to September paints the entire sanctuary lush and green, while the summer months from March to May might be a little warm.

A place to relax.

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.

Overall, a wonderful

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.

Excellent stay

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.
