Bandipur Wildlife
Far
from the din of the city, lies a calm, peaceful land all by itself. Nestling
some very rare animals and birds.
The Bandipur National Park is one of the most fascinating wild - life
centre.
Established in 1931 by the Mysore Maharajhas, this park is nestled in the foothills
of the Nilgiris. As you penetrate deep into the forests through the well laid
- out roads, you can almost hear the mute conversations between the animals
and the trees.
They say that the flora and fauna here exist in perfect harmony. And it is because
of this that the spot here was chosen as a centre for the Project Tiger. And
since then the tiger population has almost doubled!
Of course, there's a lot, lot more to discover. Peafowl, patridges, quail, hornbill,
giant squirrel, dhole (wild dog) elephants, sambar, barking deer…. An endless
variety of wildlife flourish here.
And the trees sheltering them are even or beautiful. Teak, rosewood, hone, mathi,
bamboo and sandal.
What's more, you can teak a safari on elephant back to make your visit memorable.
Best time to visit :
June - October
