The B R Hills Wildlife Sanctuary forms the connector between Eastern and the Western Ghats. It is guarded as well as nurtured by river Cauvery in the South East and river Kollegal which takes an abrupt turn towards its Northern part and settles in its original course later. This reserve forest presents a perfect blend of
Geographical wonders with the beautiful Biligiri Rangaswamy and Male Mahadeshwar ranges incidentally bridging the gap between the Western and the Eastern Ghats.
