Bandipur National Park
In
Karnataka, the two attractive wildlife parks of Nagarhole
and Bandipur, though separate entities, are part of a larger
contiguous wildlife reserve that includes the Mudumalai
Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu and the Wynad Reserve in Kerala.
Both the parks are easily accessible from Mysore. The 874.20
sq. km. Bandipur National Park, which is also a Tiger
Reserve, with its open grassy woodland, lies to the south of
the Kabini River while Nagarhole, 643.39 sq. km. in area, to
the north of the river, has taller and denser forests. A dam
on the Kabini and its picturesque reservoir separate the two
parks. In the dense moist deciduous forests of this area the
upper canopy reaches heights of 30m and valuable hardwoods
like teak and rosewood are also to be found here. Bandipur,
lying in the shadow of the Western Ghats, is one of the
finest habitats of the Asian elephant. Drained by the Moyar
River, its open forest makes it easy for visitors to see the
elephant and gaur in natural surroundings.
