Kabini

Around 1983, Nagarahole was recognized as a national park. This now measures 643.39 sq. km. and has two touristic regions wherein wildlife watching is allowed. The Sunkadakatte Tourism Zone, widely termed “Kabini” by tourists, is nestled on the park’s southwest shore. Elephants, gaur, sambar, spotted deer, sloth bears, and the sporadic sightings of tigers and leopards are among the animals that can be seen along the Kabini River as it meanders through the jungle landscapes. It’s not a coincidence that the area used to be the Maharaja’s chosen hunting ground.

Elephant herds, crocodiles lounging in the sun, and colourful birds fluttering in and out of the forest’s verdant canopy can all be witnessed on morning and sunset vehicle safaris or even on a boat excursion along the River Kabini. Any time of year is a terrific time to travel to Kabini. The animals congregate at the numerous watering holes near the game paths during the hot months of March, April, and May when the pools and springs inside the jungle dry up. The highest density of Asiatic elephants can be found in the wild around the river bank Kabini. While the forest ground is blanketed in a carpeted floor of lush green throughout the monsoon period of July, August, and September, there are relatively few possibilities to sight animals.
