Situated
80 kms from Mysore, the Bandipur National Park is one of
the most beautiful wildlife centers. Rare species of animals
and birds can be seen in this natural habitat. Bandipur
has also been chosen as a center for the Project Tiger Scheme
launched in 1973 by the WWF to save the tiger.
Far
from the din of the city, lies a calm, peaceful land all
by itself. Nestling some very rare animals and dirds.
The
Bandipur National Park is one of the most fascinating wild-life
centers. Established in 1931 by the Mysore Maharajas, 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 center for the Project
Tiger. And since then the tiger population has almost doubled!
Of
course, there's a lot, lot more to discover. Peafowl, partridges,
quail, hornbill, giant squirrel, holes (wild dog) elephants,
samba, barking deer… An endless variety of wildife flourish
here. And the trees sheltering them are even more beautiful.
Teak, rosewood, honne, mathi, bamboo and sandal.
What's
more, you can take a safari on elephant back to make your
visit memorable
Best
time to visit: June-October.
