Nagarhole National Park
Located
in the Kodagu and Mysore districts is a fresh, green world rich in forests,
little streams, undulating valleys and fascinating waterfalls.
The Nagarhole National Park. A perfect get-away for nature-lovers.
Deriving its name from Kannada, 'Naga' meaning snake and 'hole' referring to
streams, Nagarhole is truly a delightful spot, bubbling with the activity of
some of the most magnificent animals and trees.
Rosewood, teak, sandal, silver oak….the deep, fersh aroma of these trees
mingling with the sounds of the wildlife - ah! A perfect holiday treat.
No wonder this was also an exclusive hunting preserve of the erstwhile rulers
of Mysore. And if you'd like to tour Nagarhole in roya style, do it the 'Maharajah'way
-on elephant - back ! And of course, there are jeeps and vans too. So come over.
Nagarhole is no ordinary place. Because enchantment never ends here, like its
collection of wildlife. Four horned antelope, panther, warblers, hornbills,
panther, gaur, giant flying squirrel.. And if ever you get lost amongst them,
there's no need to panic.
The Jenu Kurubas (Honey - gatherers), the Betta Kurubas (Hill tribes) and the
Hakki - Pikki (Bird trappers ) inhabiting this park are always ready to help
you.
With a warm smile.
