Bhimeshwari 
The
sparkling blue waters of Cauvery wind through rocks and ravines and fall off the
Deccan Plateau to form the twin falls of Barachukki and Gaganachukki. About 35
kms downstream is yet another set of falls called Mekedatu. Lying between these
breathtaking cascades is Bhimeshwari. A perfect picnic spot. Where nature has
created a natural habitat for the Mahseer fish and a variety of exciting animals.
Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary When you take a holiday to Ranganthittu,
you're treated to some glorious sights. Yes, the Sanctuary here is a paradise
for wildlife enthusiasts. Just glance around and you'll find a host of surprises.
Crocodiles basking under the sun, others running free, flocks of birds gathered
on tiny islands. Ranganthittu is indeed a visual delight. And the excitement continues.
Wherever you turn, you'll find exotic birds. Birds that come all the way from
Siberia, Australia and even North America. So when you're on the cane boats just
be ready for a 'fluttering' surprise. It may be the open-bill stork, the white
ibis, egret, heron, patridge or even the cormorant trying to say hello!
Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary Mysterious. Magical. And mind blowing. The
secrets of the jungle unwind as you go deep into the seemingly silent forest.
Birds whistle their favourite songs. Monkeys chatter incessantly. Elephants trumpet
in delight… Welcoming you to discover their magnificent land.
Biligiri
Rangana Hills At a height of 5,091 ft., this resort is a must for wildlife
lovers. Dancing trees, whistling winds and swirling streams form a back drop to
some very rare animals - gaur, chital, sambar, bears, elephants, panthers, tigers.
And if you're looking for a place that is calm and peaceful, the Biligirirangaswamy
Temples is the right place. The serene surroundings, the soft reverberations of
the bells and the songs of the birds in the background at this complex are sure
to rejuvenate your souls. You may also find the Soligas, native tribes of this
range, singing a sprightly folk song or dancing to a brisk tune. While on your
visit, make sure you don't miss the Ratha festival, held during 'Vaishaka' in
the month of April.
Bandipur Far from the din of the city,
lies a calm, peaceful land all by itself. Nestling some very rare animals and
birds. The Bandipur National Park is one of the most fascinating wild - life centre.
Established in 1931 by the Mysore Maharajhas, this park is nestled in the foothills
of the Nilgiris. As you penetrate deep into the forests through the well laid
- out roads, you can almost hear the mute conversations between the animals and
the trees. They say that the flora and fauna here exist in perfect harmony. And
it is because of this that the spot here was chosen as a centre for the Project
Tiger. And since then the tiger population has almost doubled!
Nagarhole
National Park Located in the Kodagu and Mysore districts is a fresh, green
world rich in forests, little streams, undulating valleys and fascinating waterfalls.
The Nagarhole National Park. A perfect get-away for nature-lovers. Deriving its
name from Kannada, 'Naga' meaning snake and 'hole' referring to streams, Nagarhole
is truly a delightful spot, bubbling with the activity of some of the most magnificent
animals and trees.
