About Nagerhole National Park
The national parks of Nagarhole,
Bandipur and Mudumalai are contiguous and share very
similar characteristics. A fourth national park, Wynad,
also adjoins them. Together they form the largest
protected area for the Indian Elephant, Gaur, Tiger and
Leopard in South India. Other large mallams include
Liontail Macaque, Wild Boar and Sambar. The parks occupy a
NW-SE alignment, with Nagarhole national park at the top,
Bandipur in the middle and Mudumalai at the bottom. The
forests are tropical mixed deciduous. In the northern and
western parts of Nagarhole national park, which receive
more rainfall, the forest are denser and taller, with
hardwood trees like Rosewood, Teak and Mathi . sandalwood
trees also grow here. Elsewhere in Nagarhole national
park, and in Bandipur and Mudumalai national park, which
lie in the rain shadow of the Western Ghats, the forests
are more open with more grasslands, and the trees are
stunted (hence mammal sightings are less difficult).
Season :
Open year round, the best period being October-May,
especially April-May.

Fly to Bangalore and drive to Nagarhole (6 hours) or
Bandipur (6-7 hours). The nearest station railway station
