The protected land of the wild – the home ground where birds trill and deer feed unafraid – the banks of the river running by – the magical point where the three wildlife parks meet – this is where life awaits.

Destination

As you drive through the quaint village roads, the river Kabini plays hide and seek with you, finally leading you to The Serai, on its banks. The protected forest area which you are going to enter, is part of the fascinating Nilgiri biosphere – and is the largest in South India, at over 2000 sq.km, comprising the wildlife parks of Bandipur, Nagarhole, Wyanad and Mudumalai.

Accommodation

The river at kabini, serene and times, thundering at others, passes right by. And whichever cottage you choose at The Serai kabini, you get your very own view of the Kabini river – from your own veranda, with only the wild grass and the birds between you.

Waterfront Veranda: Twin cottages, each with cosy warm wood interiors, spotless white linen, and a pretty little sit-out. An extraordinary touch – your open sky shower, with only a fibre glass top. An exclusive designer bathroom, and the cottony clouds above. Life couldn’t get better.

Waterfront Villa: Your own individual villa by the river. Stone walls, wooden floor, tiled roof – and your own patch of green all around. Champak trees, butterflies, a hammock, a cup of hot coffee and your own view of the gorgeous Kabini, with the hills beyond. Your villa inside is exquisitely decorated with infinite care, but we won’t blame you if you never leave your veranda.

The Residence: A magnificent villa, at the very end of the resort with a living room in addition to a bedroom, two private verandas, and its very own Jacuzzi pool (non-heated). A large private garden, with the mighty river on one side, and a truant little creek flowing by on the other. An dazzling view for the discerning few.
