Machaan Wilderness Lodge Nagarahole

Our recent stay at Machaan Wilderness Lodge exceeded our expectations. The luxury rooms were not just great but also tastefully designed, providing a stunning view of the open field and forest from the balcony. The food was good, though we would like to see more regional cuisine on the menu. What really made this place stand out were the bird watching and nature walk activities led by their in house naturalists. Gowtham, our birdwatching guide, displayed exceptional knowledge of local species. His genuine enthusiasm to share his expertise added to the overall enjoyment of the experience. Guests were provided  with binoculars.  Shreyas' nature walk was equally enlightening, creating a newfound appreciation for the environment and wildlife. The guides' passion and commitment to educating guests are truly commendable. Machaan Wilderness Lodge is a haven for nature enthusiasts, not just providing a comfortable stay but also delivering an immersive experience in the beauty of nature. Another plus is its convenient 15-minute drive from Nagerhole entrance. Highly recommended!

It has been a great Stay and great experience overall From temple visit to bird watching, to safari and wildlife documentary screening. The food, the sustainability initiatives and the staff were absolutely awesome. Special mention to Shreyas for curating every experience and taking around for beautiful bird watching session and Pemmiah taking us around.

The place is nestled in a 37 acres coffee plantation estate, and had from the hustle bustle of city/ town in Kutta village. This is apt for people who want to be in midst of nature, especially are wildlife enthusiasts. Nagarhole Tiger reserve is just 20 mins away so it was pretty convenient. Staff at the restaurant especially Sriram is very hospitable and ensure that you have a comfortable stay here. Also Sreyas, the CRM and in - house naturalist ensure that all your queries about plants, birds, and forests are answered well. All in all a good getaway. Spa was good though the facility seems very basic so an upgrade will be welcome addition to the property.

Excellent place amidst nature...Shreyas and Gautham are very knowledgeable ..The nocturnal walk with Gautham was adventurous and informative....will definitely visit again

We had booked machaan luxury for a night, it was an amazing experience with the location staying away from noisy city. We are able to enjoy the nature view of forest and thrilling experience of spotting animals. One of the best stays I had so far. I loved each and every service of Machaan resort. Their team is really putting ah high efforts to make their customers very comfortable. Especially Mr.Gowtham. Over all great stay, great food and top notch service. I would love to visit again with my whole family.

Had a wonderful time and made memories that would last a lifetime and hopefully the younger generation would cherish. Thank you for making sure we had a wonderful time and thank you for your hospitality.🫰

We had an amazing stay at Machaan Wilderness Lodge. The setting was picturesque and peaceful, surrounded by trees and birdsong. The pool was lovely, especially at sunset. Everyday the on-site naturalists offered scheduled wildlife walks around the property. We also went on two safaris in the nearby Nagarahole Tiger Reserve. The food and service was amazing too - highly recommended!

Well the agoda app said it was a cottage with a tub a private area. But ended up in a cabin which was so small that ended once we entered. Food was good, the over all experience was a 2 out of 5 But thank you for letting us know about the luxury machaan with tents which was of the same price we paid for the cottage turned out to be a cabin.

We visited Machan Wilderness Nagarhole during summer with our 5 month old infant. Pros - 1. The host, Shreyas, is a nature-loving enthusiastic person who'll take you around for bird-watching during the mornings. He'll definitely make your stay memorable with the hospitality. 2. We were put up at the TENT and it's a really nice room to be in for a couple of nights. It gives you access to a private Jacuzzi in the balcony facing the National Park. Side note - Nevertheless, if you are not a big fan of Jacuzzi, I'd rather advise you to save some money and go for the Cottage. It has the same view with a balcony. 3. The property must be a delight during the winters!! 4. The buggy service, the room service, anything service is fine and the hospitality is top-notch! Cons - 1. It was almost 38 degrees during the summer. There is a frequent load shedding problem at the property and hence the AC in the Tent takes about 10 mins to load up every time the power goes. And trust me, the power goes twice every hour. This made the stay tough during the days. 2. The restaurant at the property - The Fig Tree, is average. The food does not match the property's luxurious setting.
