The Old magazine brings to mind rustic, old-world, classic roughing it. And it's exactly that. The camp is surrounded by thick forest and you can be sure of spotting the jungle's rare and vibrant avian denizens. The Old Magazine House is less about what you can see and more about what you can do.

Breathe in the jungle. Take in its sounds. And become one with it. A perfect place to perch for the night while exploring the magical forests of Dandeli, the camp is located in an area of the forest which is not open to the general public.

At Old Magazine House there are 5 Rooms & 1 Wooden Cottage with modern facilities.

The dormitory has semi-private cubicles, sleeping 4 people in each on teak wood bunk beds. The dormitory can accommodate 20 people. There are 4 common bathrooms and toilets in this facility.

Pick and choose from various activities like Trekking, Nature walk, Coracle boat ride and even river rafting (Seasonal with extra cost). Treks are a great way to check out the winged denizens. The Malabar Grey Hornbill, the Malabar Pied Hornbill, flycatchers, orioles, babblers, etc. are commonly spotted here.

• Dress for comfort. Do avoid bright colours and stick to muted shades of green, black, grey and brown. The more you meld with the background, the better.
• Wear comfortable walking shoes.
• Avoid smoking – anything can start a forest fire.
• You’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors. Don’t forget your hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, torch, etc.
• Avoid plastics. We’re really trying to cut down on plastics.
