NAGARAHOLE NATIONAL PARK

West of the Kabini River is the 643-sq-km wildlife sanctuary of Nagarhole National Park or Rajiv Gandhi National Park. The lush forests here are home to the tigers as well as leopards, elephants, gaurs, muntjacs (barking deer), wild dogs, bonnet macaques and common langurs. The park’s main entrance is 93km southwest of Mysore. However, the best accommodation and the most beautiful views are at the Kabini Lake side of the reserve, near the village of Karapura, around 80km south of Mysore.
