Bandipur & Nagarhole National Parks

Bandipur and Nagarhole National Parks, located in the Western Ghats, are part of a rich ecological landscape that includes the Nilgiris and Mudumalai, creating one of India’s most significant ecosystems. These parks have a deep history of conservation, with Bandipur originally established as a sanctuary in 1974 and Nagarhole following suit, later forming a critical part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Together, they form a vital corridor for wildlife, supporting a diverse range of species and maintaining a delicate balance of nature.

Bandipur is renowned for its thriving tiger population, while Nagarhole is famous for its elephants and leopards. The seamless blend of forests, rivers, and hills across these parks makes them exceptional. Jeep safaris in Bandipur and Kabini, along with boat safaris in Nagarhole, offer visitors the chance to explore the park's diverse landscapes and observe wildlife in their natural habitat. This interconnected network of protected areas is an essential haven for both flora and fauna.
