Book directSee the stay

Our read

Kabini here is a river lodge built as a Kuruba hadi, with Nagarhole and Bandipur on either side. Come for the river and the park, not for a Mysore city room.

Come here for

  • Travellers who want a wildlife lodge on the Kabini, not a hotel in Mysore
  • People who will take the Kuruba village design as part of the stay
  • Guests who will book the park days around the river, not a pool weekend

Skip it if

  • You wanted Evolve Back Coorg or Hampi. Those are other lodges.
  • You need a printed spa programme as the reason to travel. The published identity here is the river and the parks.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

The place itself

Evolve Back Kabini, also printed as the Kuruba Safari Lodge, sits at Bheeramballi village in H.D. Kote taluk, Mysore district, on the Kabini river. The lodge is bordered on two sides by the river. Its design is taken from the hadis, the villages of the Kadu Kuruba people. Kabini sits at the cusp of Nagarhole and Bandipur National Parks. The page presents the stay as a wildlife lodge and as an introduction to that community, not as a city hotel with a spa attached. Direct reservations are printed at +91 63 6692 0434. WhatsApp is +91 63 6692 0339. The resort email is kabini@evolveback.com. Head office email is info@evolveback.com. A 22 kW AC charging station is listed at the resort.

02 - Feel

Why it is different

Two banks of the river

The lodge is bordered on two sides by the Kabini.

The hadis

Buildings take their form from Kadu Kuruba villages, not from a generic safari tent camp.

Two parks

Kabini sits at the cusp of Nagarhole and Bandipur National Parks.

Bheeramballi

The printed address is a village in H.D. Kote, not a Mysore street.
