Road trip planner Pune - A trip to Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary (Chandoli National Park - Sahyadri Tiger Reserve)
Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary and Sahyadri Tiger Reserve are a part of the Chandoli National Park. Located at a distance of about 196 kilometers from Pune (Magarpatta), it takes about 4.30 hours by road. Google locations are provided in the description below. One can expect to sight Indian Gaur, Sambar deer and tigers. We did not see any of these, by the way . Best time to visit are post monsoon months as the weather is usually pleasant and forest is more lush. Summer months can vary between sultry to excruciatingly hot.
We stayed in Forest Escapes Koyna, one of the better resorts in the area. Rooms are large and are decently appointed. Resort is well maintained and offers plenty of activities. Service is courteous. Food is good however the buffets are basic and do not offer a lot of choice. Room rates start from 9000 rupees per night on double occupancy. There are not too many restaurants around the resort. Resort can also organise a private barbecue by the Koyna river upon request and at an additional price. Forest Escapes Koyna is plastic and paper free eco resort. Resort also has a private access to the river bank which is clean and pristine.
Resort can arrange for a safari for an additional price. Safari usually lasts for about 5 hours and conducted twice a day (5.30 AM & 2.00 PM). Resort offers other activities such as bird watching, night jungle trek and such other activities at no additional price.
It is recommended to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Carry sunglasses, hat/cap and sun tan lotion.
