About Bandipur
Situated
in the Nilgiris, Bandipur is flanked by the Kabini, Moyar and Nugu
Rivers which drain the area. Besides the rivers, there are many
seasonal streams flowing through the region. This place is under
Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and is also the first Biosphere Reserve of
the country.
Bandipur
was the chosen site for Project Tiger. This is an initiative taken by
the Government of India to protect the endangered species. The number
of tigers has increased ever since. The place is also home to a large
number of animals like Elephants, Hornbill, Sambar, Wild Dog, Giant
Squirrel, Deer, and Partridges. There are also a few endangered
species including Four Horned Antelope, Panther, Sloth Bear, Python,
Mouse Deer, Pea Fowl and many more. Besides animals tourists can see
some exotic trees including Bamboo, Sandalwood, Teak, Honne and
Mathi.
Two
wildlife sanctuaries are also attached to this place: the Waynad
Sanctuary and the Mudumalai Sanctuary. This place mostly has an open
forest area which makes it easy for the tourists to see animals.
There
is no human settlement inside the Reserve but there are almost 200
villages around the area. This place makes for an excellent tourist
spot and is a must-visit for those want to soak in the beauty of
nature.
