There are a large number of animals whose call can be heard in the forest around the Bungalow in the night. These are deer, spotted deer or chital, Sāmbhar etc. Large groups of Langoors and monkey can be seen jumping around the trees during the day. Leopards are also frequent visitor to the area. Elephant presence can be seen on the river bed by huge piles of dung excreted by them. In all there is a large variety of wild life around including about 50 to 60 variety of birds. However despite the location and the peaceful atmosphere existing there in, it is not a very popular tourist destination.
