Why it matters
Why Anejhari Butterfly Camp is worth your time
For travellers who want the forest without a day trek, a camp inside the sanctuary gives access to birds, butterflies and a quiet night. It also spreads visitors beyond the temple village.
The camp is run by the state-backed Jungle Lodges & Resorts, so it follows a familiar format of cottages, set meals and guided activities. For older travellers it offers a calmer base than the temple lanes, provided a vehicle is arranged for darshan.

How to experience it
Anejhari is a Jungle Lodges & Resorts camp near Kollur, listed on Karnataka Tourism and described as the gateway to Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary. Guests stay in wooden cottages with the Souparnika river alongside. Staff can arrange bird and butterfly walks and trips to Kodachadri.
The camp is not on the Kollur village lanes, so you will need a vehicle for the temple. That is the trade-off: quiet and forest at the price of a short drive to darshan.
Book ahead for weekends and festival seasons and ask about meal plans and activity timings at the time of booking.
