Overview


Located 18Km from the city of Bidar in north Karnataka, the Blackbuck Resort is concealed behind a barren facade. Tranquility is the calling of this place which finds a sweet spot between the Honnikeri Reserve Forest and the Vilaspur Lake. Free roaming blackbucks abound in the surrounding grasslands, giving the resort its name. You can savour the unique experience of trailing blackbucks on foot and watch them disappear into thickets. Its not just the blackbucks, even peacocks that make a sudden appearance can spring a surprise or two.

The surrounding hillocks insulate the resort from the cacophony of the city. Rustic cottages perched on slopes by the lake shore create a medley of beautiful vistas. It is a perfect setting for those who can snuggle into the blanket of serenity that surrounds the resort. The usually sedate environs come alive when the birds are on song and langurs play along. Visit the Blackbuck Resort to enjoy a lakeside rhapsody while leaving the baggage of urban life behind.


Accomodation

The resort currently has 18 spacious cottages dotting the periphery of the lake. The aesthetic cottages have been thoughtfully designed to suit the local weather. Spanning across three categories the cottages come in varying sizes each offering a unique view of the pristine lake. All cottages are air-conditioned and those in the special and executive category have thatched roofs to keep their interiors cool.

Activities

Blackbuck trails and nature walks amidst birds talks are a great way to spend early mornings and late evenings. Coracle rides (subject to availability of water) in the placid lake offer a close-to-nature experience and a good opportunity to spot birds that hover around looking for their next meal. A walk down the memory lane by visiting the historical monuments in Bidar city will take you to the pages of history of Bahmanid Dynasty.


Season

The surroundings are lush and the weather is at its best between October and February. This is also a good time for birdwatching and outdoor activities. The summer months from March to mid June are dry and sultry. However, the night is quite cool and pleasant during March- June also. The heat dissipates after showers in the months of July, August and September.
