Kabini Wildlife Sanctuary

If you are the adventurous type waiting for the moment to spot the sambhar looking for its prey then you should be packing your rucksack to Kabini Wildlife Sanctuary. Located at Karapur near Nagarahole Wildlife National Park, it houses some of the rare species of animals and birds. Rated as one of the five best wildlife sanctuaries of India in British magazine Tatlers, Kabini’s attraction is the convergence of wildlife and birds on the banks of the river Kabini.

Originally belonging to the Maharajas of Mysore, Kabini Wildlife Sanctuary is very close to Nagarhole National Park. On your safari through the sanctuary you may be lucky to spot elephants, monkeys, bison, sloth bear and panthers. Crocodile, Golden backed Woodpecker, Osprey and the White Necked Stork are also found in numbers here.

Though the best time to visit the Kabini Wildlife Sanctuary is from October to May if you are a wild life enthusiast no scorching sun in the summers or the heavy down pour in the monsoons are going to stop you from catching the prowling animals and the rare endangered avian species in your binoculars. It is of course advisable not to visit the sanctuary between June and September as the region experiences heavy rainfall.

Accommodation in the region can be lodges and guesthouses available with excellent services. You can reach Kabini Wildlife Sanctuary by road or rail. About 220 kms from Mysore you can take the Mysore-Mananthavadi road to reach the sanctuary.
