Photos Of Nagarhole National Park

Mysore, Karnataka, India
Nagarhole National Park, officially known as Rajiv Gandhi National Park, is one of India's premier tiger reserves and a part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Located about 90 KM from Mysore, it spans across the districts of Kodagu and Mysuru. The park gets its name from the river "Nagarhole" (Nag- snake, Hole-river) that snakes through its dense forests. It was once the exclusive hunting ground for the Wadiyar kings of Mysore. The park is famous for its high density of tigers and is one of the best places in the world to see the Asiatic Elephant. The landscape is a mix of deciduous forests, small streams, hills, and valleys. Apart from tigers and elephants, the park is home to leopards, wild dogs (dholes), sloth bears, and gaurs (Indian bison). It also hosts a variety of deer, including sambar and spotted deer. For birdwatchers, Nagarhole is a paradise with over 270 species of birds, including the rare Malabar Trogon and the Crested Serpent Eagle. The park is bordered by the Kabini River, which separates it from Bandipur National Park. The backwaters of the Kabini Dam are a major attraction, especially in summer when large herds of elephants gather on the banks. The park offers various safari options, including jeep safaris and bus safaris conducted by the Forest Department. There are also boat safaris on the Kabini River, which provide a unique perspective of the wildlife. Conservation efforts here are robust, aimed at protecting the habitat and preventing human-animal conflict. Staying in one of the forest lodges or nearby resorts provides an immersive jungle experience. The tranquility of the forest, broken only by the calls of birds and monkeys, makes it a perfect escape from city life. Visitors are expected to follow strict rules to maintain the ecological balance of this protected area.
