Introducing Nagarahole - a perfect getaway for bird
lovers and wildlife enthusiasts alike; a place rich in
forests, little streams, undulating valleys and
fascinating waterfalls; a haven for many wild
denizens and one of the last safe asylums for the
Asian Elephant. Visiting Nagarahole would
undoubtedly be an ethereal experience...a trip to
paradise and back.
The misty Brahmagiri Mountains form a perfect
backdrop to the natural sounds of the jungle, the
gurgling of the streams and rivers. Deriving its name from Kannada, 'Naga' signifying
Snake and 'Hole' meaning River, the park derives its name from the snake-like river,
Nagarahole that winds through the forests.
Nagarahole is a never ending enchanting place, due to its collection of wildlife- four
horned antelope, panther, warblers, hornbills spotted deer, mouse deer, pangolin,
gaur, giant flying squirrel. And if ever you get lost amongst them, there is no need to
panic. The Jenu Kurubas (Honey gatherers) and the Betta Kurubas (Hill tribe)
inhabiting this park are always ready to help you, with a warm smile. |
