- Kabini & Nagarhole and Bandipur Wildlife SafariTour All inclusive
Have opportunity to go on a wildlife safari tour in Kabini, Nagarhole, and Bandipur and it was an incredible experience. The tour was all-inclusive, meaning everything from transportation to accommodation to meals was taken care of, making it a hassle-free and comfortable trip. Firstly, the location itself was breathtaking. The forests of Kabini, Nagarhole, and Bandipur are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, and it was a privilege to witness them in their natural habitat. The safari rides were well-organized and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the different species we encountered. We saw everything from majestic tigers and leopards to graceful elephants and deer. The accommodations provided were top-notch. We stayed in luxurious resorts located in the heart of the forests, which added to the overall experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had all the necessary amenities. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the sight of verdant greenery outside our windows was truly a treat. The food served throughout the tour was delicious and varied. We were served authentic local cuisine as well as continental dishes, all of which were prepared using fresh and locally sourced ingredients. The staff was also accommodating of any dietary restrictions we had. One of the highlights of the tour was the night safari in Nagarhole. It was an entirely different experience from the day safaris, as we got to see animals that are usually inactive during the day. We saw a pack of wild dogs on the hunt, a sight that is rarely witnessed. It was truly a thrilling experience. The tour also included a visit to a nearby tribal village, where we got a glimpse into the lives and traditions of the local communities. It was a humbling experience to see how they coexist with nature and make the most of their surroundings. Overall, the Kabini, Nagarhole, and Bandipur wildlife safari tour was an unforgettable experience. The all-inclusive aspect made it convenient and stress-free, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature without any worries. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and enriching wildlife experience.
What our customers ask about Karnataka Tours for Solo Travelers
What is the typical cost of single supplements on Karnataka tours?
Single supplements for Karnataka tours typically add USD 30-50 per night to the base price based on the hotel category. The 16-day Best of Karnataka and Goa tour charges USD 40 extra per night for 3-star hotels while 5-star properties like ITC Gardenia in Bangalore cost USD 65. Some tour companies like Agora Voyages run special "no single supplement" tours in the off-peak months. A recent TourRadar review noted: "I found the single supplement reasonable compared to other destinations and the room quality was excellent at properties like the Heritage Resort in Hampi."
How easy is it to meet other travelers on Karnataka group tours?
The peak travel season from October to February brings comfortable temperatures of 20-25°C (68-77°F) and draws more visitors to Karnataka. This creates natural opportunities to connect with fellow travelers at popular sites and on group tours. The winter months of December-February work well for visiting coastal areas like Goa. Wildlife enthusiasts often gather at Nagarhole National Park between October-May. A TourRadar guest shared: "Traveling in January was perfect - comfortable weather for sightseeing and lots of other tourists to interact with at major sites like Hampi and Mysore Palace."
How much free time do solo travelers get on Karnataka tours?
Tours in Karnataka mix guided activities with independent exploration time. A typical day includes morning tours followed by 3-4 hours of personal time later in the day. Destinations like Hampi often feature full free days where you can explore ancient ruins or join optional group activities. Hotels are selected for their convenient locations that support easy independent sightseeing. As one traveler noted: "I appreciated having mornings with the group but also enough free time to wander through markets in Mysore and find quiet spots in Hampi to watch the sunset."
How safe is Karnataka for solo travelers on guided tours?
Guided tours in Karnataka provide a secure travel environment with local guides and drivers available around the clock. Well-traveled routes between Bangalore Hampi and the Western Ghats feature established hotels like Radisson Bangalore City Center in safe central areas. A TourRadar guest reported: "I felt completely safe throughout the journey from exploring Mysore Palace to wildlife safaris in Nagarhole thanks to our knowledgeable guide Krishna who was always looking out for the group."
Do Karnataka tours offer shared room options to avoid single supplements?
Many tour operators pair solo travelers of the same gender to share rooms and avoid extra charges. Places like The Heritage Resort in Badami and Krishna Palace in Hampi regularly accommodate shared arrangements. According to one traveler: "I was paired with another solo female traveler at the Lemon Tree Hotel in Bangalore - we became great friends and explored the city markets together."
What types of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Karnataka tours?
Karnataka tours feature quality hotels and resorts that cater to international travelers. In Bangalore stays include the ITC Gardenia or Lemon Tree Premier while Hampi offers the Heritage Resort or Hyatt Place. Traditional properties like the Royal Orchid Brindavan Garden in Mysore blend local character with modern comforts. Tours provide single or shared room choices with hotels picked for their prime locations and security measures. A TourRadar review stated: "The hotels were excellent and perfectly located for sightseeing making it easy to connect with other travelers in common areas."
