I believe their office is located in M G Road, Bangalore. Please note that the facility is in K Gudi (and not in B R Hills). Hope this helps! @Ramadas:

I am not sure if there are other places nearby that provide food/accommodation. Please do check your mail and I will CC you my email to few people that I think know much better than I do myself. @Fuzz,

From my experience as a wildlife enthusiast, and having done a lot of wildlife trails in munnar, chinnar, valapari, athirapalli and challakudi, I can understand how difficult it is to shoot good pictures like these and how fulfilling it feels to see and enjoy them. Thanks for the wonderful treat. Good luck. Hi Gowtham, the pictures are truly awesome.

Transportation between Bangalore and Mysore is upto you - and since the roads are good, driving by yourself is not a bad idea either. But as far as I know, there is only one KSRTC bus that goes from Mysore to B R Hills via K Gudi. Road condition, at least via Chamarajanagara / Nagavalli side is not extremely good but manageable by most cars / automobiles. That said, I would personally recommend driving by yourselves to save lot of time and use the saved time to see more on your way through the forests. Hope this helps.. @Divya,

Need a favour - We are planning to visit KGudi (the JLR camp) sometime soon. Can you pass on some info about getting there? Is it advisable to take a train(from Blore to Mysore) and then a bus (from Mysore to KGudi)? Or should we stick to driving by ourselves? Thanks, Divya. Hi,

I agree that I got extremely lucky on that trip but if you go with the right people, I have been told by many others who have gone on such safaris with the same people I went, wildest of animals automatically come your way :) Urbanization is something I completely hate/dislike, at least when it comes to, like you said, one of a kind forest such as B R Hills. We didn't have too much of crowd during our visit but Thapa and few others did tell me that some crowds get pretty noisy... Thanks again for your time and interest! @Sabir,
