Travel Tips Of Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary

Srirangapatna, Karnataka, India
Ecological Importance: This is the largest bird sanctuary in Karnataka, established in 1940 after ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali highlighted the importance of the islets for nesting. It comprises six small riverine islands on the Cauvery River. It is a vital nesting and breeding ground for over 170 spe cies of birds, including migratory species from as far as Siberia and North America. Wildlife: It is home to a diverse array of avian fauna, including Painted Storks, Open-billed Storks, Common Spoonbills, White Ibis, Little Cormorants, and many more. The marsh crocodile (Mugger) is also a major attraction, often seen basking on the rocks. The Islands: The six islets are formed by the construction of a dam across the Cauvery River in the 1640s by the then Mysore King, Kantarava Narasimharaja Wodeyar.

Tourism Tips
