Situated among the broken foothills of the Western Ghats, Bandipur National Park covers 880 square kilometres of dry deciduous forest south of the River Kabini. Created in the 1930s from the local maharaja’s hunting lands and expanded in 1940, it is one of the few reserves in India where you stand a very good chance of sighting wild elephants, particularly in the wet season, when water and forage are plentiful and the animals evenly scattered. You should also catch glimpses of tigers, leapords, gaur (Indian bison), spotted deer and langurs.
