B.R. Hills (Biligiri Ranga Hills) Wildlife Sanctuary, K. GUDI This picturesque hill range is 120 kms away from Mysore and is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna. At a height of 5,091 ft., this resort is a must for wildlife lovers. Dancing trees, whistling winds and swirling streams form a backdrop to some very rare animals-gaur, chital, sambar, bears, elephants, panthers, tigers… If you’re looking for a place that is calm and peaceful, the Biligirirangaswamy Temple (from which the hill derives its name) is the right place. The serene surroundings, the soft reverberations of the bells and the songs of the birds in the background at this complex are sure to rejuvenate your souls. You may also find the Soligas, native tribes of this range, singing a sprightly folk song or dancing to a brisk tune. While on your visit, make sure you don’t miss the Ratha festival, held during ‘Vaishaka’ in the month of April. Best time to visit: September-May. Courtesy: Department of Tourism, Mysore.
