Overview
Evolve Back, Kabini immerses you in a luxurious retreat shaped by nature and tribal heritage. Set between the Kabini River and the forests of Nagarhole, the resort places you on the edge of untamed wilderness. Elephants, deer, and vibrant birdlife often appear just beyond your villa. Inspired by Kuruba architecture, each space blends earthy tones, open courtyards, and stunning forest or river views. Whether you’re soaking in a private pool or listening to the jungle stir at dusk, the resort ensures your stay feels both authentic and indulgent. You can explore the wild on guided boat rides, jeep safaris, or slow-paced village walks. Wildlife sightings—especially of tigers, leopards, and elephants—are not rare, but expected.
Accommodation
Evolve Back offers distinct stays in three styles of huts—each combining tribal-inspired architecture with modern comfort. Choose from Pool Hut, Jacuzzi Hut, or Safari Hut—each offering a unique blend of luxury, privacy, and wilderness charm. All accommodations feature private sit-outs, open-to-sky bathrooms, plush interiors, and calming views of either the river or the forest canopy. The design focuses on natural materials and earthy tones, letting the outdoors seep into your living space without sacrificing comfort.
Dining
Dining at Evolve Back is a curated journey of local flavour and global flair. At Honey Comb restaurant, you’ll enjoy fresh, seasonal dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, all while overlooking the slow-moving Kabini River. Meals span from hearty Coorg-style curries to refined continental plates, prepared with care and creativity. You can also opt for a private riverside dinner or a romantic setup beneath a starlit sky—turning each meal into a moment worth remembering.
Wellness & Recreation
The resort’s wellness offerings are designed to reconnect you with both body and nature. Visit the Vaidyasala for time-tested Ayurvedic treatments, unwind by the river-facing infinity pool, or begin your morning with a yoga session as the mist rises from the water. Coracle rides, nature walks, and birdwatching trips offer active yet peaceful ways to explore your surroundings, while indoor spaces like the reading lounge provide moments of quiet reflection.
Wildlife & Nature Activities
Evolve Back lets you step into the wild without leaving comfort behind. Join expert naturalists on early-morning jeep safaris into Nagarhole, or drift along the Kabini River on a guided boat cruise, spotting crocodiles, otters, and birdlife. Slow-paced nature trails reveal the smaller wonders—hidden tracks, forest blooms, and insect life. In the evenings, gather for nature documentaries or stretch out under the stars as the forest comes alive in the distance. Each activity brings you closer to Kabini’s raw beauty and diverse ecosystems.
Location
Tucked between two legendary wildlife reserves—Nagarhole and Bandipur—Evolve Back, Kabini offers a privileged riverside setting. The resort allows you to step straight into nature’s theater, where dawn begins with birdsong and night falls to a symphony of jungle sounds. Its location makes it the ideal launchpad for both adventure and quiet reflection in Karnataka’s rich wilderness.
