On 5th Dec 2009 I with my family went to visit bandipur national park and booked at jungle home at thorapalli
However this place is far away from madumalai or bandiipur safari spot so to come for safari you need to book a vehicle there which is expensive and hard to digest. Though it may be provided by people at jungle home but will charge you heavily. Stay and food there is okay but to enjoy and having satisfying trip is doubtfull. Again pykara falls is about 30 km from there but to go there again you need to book a car which again becomes costly as these people are there to
siphon your money. At jungle home the helpers sometimes come and talk to you but the manager hardly discuss any thing with you except for your advance pay.
Another aspect is while searching in net, jungle home or deep jungle home things are come up again and again i donot know how. . My recommendation is donot go to jungle home if you donot have your own vehicle and also there are ample number of hotel near by, with good facilities, which will not figure while searching net. However for
these place I would recommend package from Mysore or bangalore. Definitely not recommend jungle home
