Located
in 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, fresh 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 royal style, do it the
'Maharaja 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, spotted deer, mouse
deer, pangolin, 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) in habiting
this park are always ready to help you with a warm smile.
Best
time to visit: June - October.
