Muthodi Nature Camp

Muthodi Nature Camp is an eco-tourism jungle lodge operated by Jungle Lodges and Resorts inside the Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary near Muthodi village in Chikkamagaluru district, Karnataka. Surrounded by dense moist deciduous forest and the Bhadra Tiger Reserve, it serves as a base for wildlife safaris and nature activities. The camp offers cottage and tent accommodation and is notable for its proximity to diverse flora and fauna, including tigers, leopards, elephants and over 250 bird species.

Visitors can expect a forest stay inside Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary with cottage and tent accommodation surrounded by moist deciduous forest. The experience is centered on guided jeep safaris into the tiger reserve, birdwatching, nature walks and trekking trails. Facilities include an on-site restaurant serving local cuisine, common areas and campfire in the evening. The setting is remote and natural, with limited mobile connectivity, focused on wildlife viewing and nature immersion rather than urban amenities.

Muthodi Nature Camp is situated in Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, first declared as Jagara Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in 1951 and later expanded and renamed Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary in 1974. The sanctuary was declared as the 25th Project Tiger reserve in India in 1998. The camp itself is operated by Jungle Lodges and Resorts Ltd., a Government of Karnataka undertaking established to promote eco-tourism in the state's wildlife reserves.
