Kabini: A World of Wildlife
Rajiv Gandhi National Park, Nagarhole (Kabini), the hunting retreat
of the Mysore Maharajas, is definitely the perfect destination for
wildlife lovers in South India. The excitement starts with a safari
into the heart of the park, where you are sure to spot wild animals
in their natural habitat.
|
Some of the popular sightings are elephant, gaur, sambar,
chital, wild boar and the more exclusive predators like the tiger
and leopard. A bird watcher's paradise, the park is home to over 300
species of birds, many of which are endemic to these jungles.

Bandipur:
Tread the path of the erstwhile Maharaja of Mysore with a visit to
Bandipur, about 80km south of Mysore on the Mysore-Ooty Road. The
reserve is a playground for wildlife, with elephants taking the lead
role. Be prepared for an unforgettable experience - you might see
a tiger prowling amidst the mix of deciduous, evergreen forest and
scrubland vegetation. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the
enchanting Niligiri mountains with its mist-covered peaks, Bandipur
was once the Mysore Maharaja's private hunting ground. It was brought
under Project Tiger in 1973. This is one of the best game sanctuaries
in India to observe and photograph wildlife in close proximity. A
temple perched atop Himad Gopalaswamy Hill, the highest peak in the
Bandipur range, is worth a visit.
