With its hilly forest, waterholes and pleasant weather, Bandipur Sanctuary is an enchanting place to visit. During the months from April to October, the sanctuary becomes even greener after the showers. Standing amid the dense forest watching the majestic Nilgiri peak can be a memorable experience for any visitor.
Though it’s a jungle where tiger roams around freely, however, the tourist huts are safely positioned. While staying in it, one can meet the herds of deer
that nibble uncaringly in between the huts.
Bandipur Sanctuary has a significant number of tigers and elephants. Tame elephants of the Bandipur Sanctuary forest department on which tourists are taken for elephant safari rides are also present. During the ride one can see herds of gaur - the Indian wild bull, many different species of deer, monkeys, squirrels and birds can also be seen.
That a river not only sets human civilization but also houses animals and birds is a true fact for such a huge gathering of birds in Bandipur National Park. The Kabini River, which flows north of the Bandipur National Park, was dammed in 1972. Since the construction of the dam resulted in a big lake (or back water), huge flocks of birds are naturally attracted towards it.

We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.
