Nagarhole (Kabini) National Park

Home » Wildlife Safari » Nagarhole (Kabini) National Park

Located in Karnataka, Nagarhole National Park is one of the most prominent Tiger reserves in the country. The lush jungle is named after the Nagarhole river, which runs through it. Also known as Kabini National Park, the lush jungles are home to the Bengal tiger and a lone Black panther. The big black cat is extremely rare. A part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, the national park is spread over an area of 643 square kilometers, adjacent to Bandipur National Park. According to the 2015 tiger Census, there are close to 100 tigers that live in the forest reserve.

Nagarhole National Park is Where Nature Comes Alive 

Calling Nagarhole National Park scenic would be an understatement. The lush valleys, brimming waterfalls, and the undulating hills that dot the landscape are a treat for sore eyes. The forest reserve is densely covered with rich flora that makes for an exciting journey by itself. Combine it with the varied wildlife that calls these jungles home and you have an adrenaline-filled vacation on your hands.

Tigers are the star attraction of Nagarhole National Park. However, there is a healthy predator-prey ratio in place, which aids conservation efforts. The national park is home to Leopards, Sloth bears, and plenty of Asian elephants that are a sight to behold. You can also spot Indian giant flying squirrel, European otters, and Golden jackals in the region.

The tropical forest is also a heaven for birdwatchers. You can spot several critically endangered birds here, such as the Nilgiri wood pigeon and the Oriental white-backed vulture.

Nagarhole National Park is the perfect place to have an intimate conversation with nature.

Experience a Nagarhole Safari Like Never Before 

Wildlife safaris can be so much fun when they are planned right. At Wildlife Sojourns, we bring all our experience into play to give you an unparalleled wildlife experience. Our Nagarhole National Park safaris are planned in consultation with expert guides who know the forests thoroughly.

Over the years, we have carefully curated a team of knowledgeable naturalists and forest guides who are proficient at sighting animal trails and who understand animal behaviour exceptionally well. We have worked with these people since our initial days as wildlife photographers and are confident that they are the best in the business.

We design safari tours that maximise the possibility of Tiger sightings. However, they never feel rushed. You get ample time to enjoy the undisturbed stillness of nature and this beautiful national park, like it is meant to be enjoyed.
