NAGARHOLE
NATIONAL PARK |

"All over
the world the wildlife that I write
about is in grave danger.
It is being exterminated by what we
call the progress of civilization."

Just 13
Km from Coorg, Nagarhole National
Park is an ideal place of visit
during your stay with us. Also known
as the Rajiv Gandhi National Park,
it is spread between the Coorg and
Mysore district and lies northwest
of the Bandipur National Park. An
enclose boasting of waterfalls,
small streams, forest covers and
valleys; this was an exclusive
hunting reserve of the former rulers
of Mysore. |

|
The 643
square kilometres of land protects
the wildlife of Karnataka and
together with Bandipur National
Park, Mudumalai National Park and
Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, it forms
the largest protected area of South
India. |

The
park was set up in 1955 and the name
was derived from Naga meaning snake
and hole meaning stream. It is
considered one of the best wildlife
parks in India and has a much
healthier and more in number
population of animals than the
adjoining parks. So for all the
people out there with a yen for
wildlife and protection work, this
is the place to venture into.
Wildlife, greenery, waterfalls,
streams and a lush tropical weather;
it doesn?t get more exotic than
this. |
