Interesting Blogs on InnTheWild
I recently decided to do some internet searching to check out what our guests are writing about us on their blogs. 🙂 I was pleasantly surprised to find some pretty interesting materials out there.
Here are two of these that really stand out:

Pack of Wild Dogs (Dhole) on a Hunt
It is 9 in the morning here at our resort situated in the Mudumalai forests at the foothills of the Nilgiri mountains near Masinagudi. It is a misty morning with low visibility, however, I have set out as usual, with a camera in my hand. Suddenly I hear a loud alarm call from peacock as they flutter to the nearest tree with a heavy flapping of their wings. Langurs sent out an alarm call for the deer grazing about a hundred meters away in the open grassland. I thought it must be our “resident” leopard on prowl, but I was wrong it was a pack of Wild dogs. Read more
Temporary Suspension of Deep Jungle Safari Services in Singara Region of Mudumulai
Due to the recent elephant attack in the Singara forest range near Mudumulai National Park, and the unfortunate death of a British Citizen, Mr. Colin Manvell, there is a temporary suspension on the deep jungle safaris in the Singara region through which even InnTheWild Deep Jungle Safaris are typically conducted. This is a temporary suspension until the police investigation of the matter is complete.

Kickstarting our Conservation Program Near Bandipur
At InnTheWild, Located Near Bandipur, our staff and management are always concerned about the beautiful wildlife and wilderness that surrounds us. So as a Senior Naturalist here, one of the first major steps that I have undertaken is to have gotten our first conservation program kick-started and approved by our management. This is the first among various baby steps that we plan to undertake, and when you do visit us, please do have a word with me (Subish Sebastian, Senior Naturalist, InnTheWild, Masinagudi) on how *YOU* can get involved with the InnTheWild Conservation Program.
Weeds are considered a serious threat to biodiversity in several World Heritage-listed areas including the Western Ghats and specifically the Mudumulai and Bandipur Tiger Reserve. Therefore weed management becomes the top priority for habitat management for the ungulate population and thereby for the carnivores.
Our Mouth Watering Jungle Barbeque
At InnTheWild, we are trying something new all the time! So what’s new this time you ask? Well this time, we are here to present to you, our new and improved evening snack time menu available at our in-house restaurant FEAST.
Recently our F&B Manager, Mr. Peter Sarin, and his team decided to overhaul our jungle barbeque, just for fun! And boy did they impress! The chefs churned out one after another mouth watering starters and kebabs…well as it always is, pictures speak louder than words, so drool away! 🙂
