Safari in the Maharaja's hunting grounds
Bandipur tour is a 2 day tour from Bangalore to the Nilgiri Biosphere for wildlife spotting in the erstwhile hunting grounds of the Mysore Maharaja. Bandipur is a thriving wild life reserve today and provides a rare opportunity to spot several endangered species. We will take an evening safari as well as a morning safari through forests and wetlands to maximize the chances of wildlife spotting. A boat safari in the Ranganathitu Bird Sanctuary is the other highlight. The tour ends of a high with a visit to the majestic Mysore Palace.
Wildlife Safari with stay in a forest lodge
Bandipur tour is held in the center of the Nilgiri Biosphere which is India's greatest stretch of protected forest. The Wildlife Reserve was established in 1974 as a tiger reserve under Project Tiger, and was once a private hunting reserve for the Maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore. Stay is planned in an enchanting forest lodge inside the forest. The safari through heavily forested areas and wetlands, provides a rare opportunity to spot India’s endangered wildlife like Indian elephants, gaurs, tigers, sloth bears, muggers, Indian rock pythons, four-horned antelopes, jackals and dholes. We will be doing an Afternoon Safari on Day 1 and a Morning Safari on Day 2.
Mysore Palace
The grand Mysore Palace is also visited during the Bandipur tour. We will travel back to the golden era of Mysore Maharajas to imagine the glory that was Mysore, epitomized by this wonder built in Indo-Saracenic style with a blend of Hindu, Muslim, Rajput, and Gothic styles of architecture. The Palace is a three-storied stone structure, with marble domes and a 145 ft five-storied tower. The guided tour will take you through the Public Hall, Private Hall, Dolls Pavilion and the Royal Wedding Hall.
Ranganathitu Bird Sanctuary
A thrilling boat safari awaits us over 6 Islets on the river Cauvery. The Islets are the main breeding ground for variety of local and migratory birds. From vibrant Painted Storks and graceful Spoonbills to industrious Openbill Storks and swift River Terns, the sanctuary is a haven for over 220 bird species, with migratory visitors from as far as Siberia. Keep your eyes peeled for marsh crocodiles basking on the riverbanks and playful otters in the water.
