About Bandipur
Wildlife Sanctuary
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).
The drier SE corner of Bandipur National Park has scrub
forests. During the dry months of March-May, Indian
Elephants stay close to rivers and lakes. At this time of
year, Indian Elephant sightings are unsurpassed in
Nagarhole National Park, especially if you are staying at
the Kabini River Lodge in Karapur. Nearby, at Mastigudi
large gatherings of 100 or so Indian Elephants on the
banks of the Kabini Lake are known, a sight unrivalled
anywhere. Bandipur National Park is probably the best
place in the subcontinent for seeing Dhole, and the Indian
Giant Squirrel can be seen at Mudumalai, lying curled in
trees holes or crooks of brances during the day.
Season :
Open year round, the best period being October-May,
especially April-May.
