Bandipur's northern neighbor, Nagarhole ("Snake River") National Park, extends 640 square kms north from the Kabini River. The river was dammed in 1974 to form a charming artificial lagoon. During the dry season (Feb-June), this perennial water source attracts large numbers of animals, making it a potentially major spot for sighting wildlife. The forest here is of the moist-deciduous type - thick jungle with a thirty-metre-high canopy - and more remarkable than Bandipur's drier scrub.
