Bandipur National Park
 Far from the din of the city, lies a calm,
peaceful land all by itself. Nestling some very rare animals and
birds.
The Bandipur National Park is one of the most
fascinating wild-life centers. Established in 1931 by the Mysore
Maharajhas, this park is nestled in the foothills of the
Nilgiris.
As you
penetrate deep into the forest through the well laid-out roads, you
can almost here the mute conversations between the animals and the
trees. They say that the flora and fauna here exist in perfect
harmony. And it is because of this that the spot here was chosen as
the centre for the Project Tiger. And since then the Tiger
population has almost doubled.
Of course
there's a lot, lot more to discover. Peafowl, patridges, quail,
hornbill, giant squirrel, dhole( wild dog), elephants, sambar,
barking deer........... An endless variety of wildlife florish here.
And the trees sheltering them are even more beautiful. Teak,
rosewood, honne, mathi, bamboo and sandal.
What's
more, you can take a safari on elephant back to make your visit
memorable
