If u are planning to visit this reserve, try to reach before 6:00 am at the check post. Vehicle entry starts at 6:00 in the morning. If u manage to be among early 5 cars,then chances of you sporting wild animals will increase. We tried this twice, last time we spotted leapord with its prey. This time spotted a tiger. It's wonderful to see them in their natural habitat. Along with tiger you can also see, bison, wild boar, giant squirrel, deer, bear, elephant and jackal. It's purely luck! You may not may not be lucky to watch any animal. You get only an hour to reach the other end(Kutta). If you r late u need to pay fine. So be careful drive consistently but keep an eye on animals as well!! ALL THE BEST.

Highly recommended , such pristine jungles. I loved each and every part of it. From seeing the big cats to seeing rare Asian paradise flycatcher bird. It was an amazing experience overall. The prices to stay are a bit on the higher side for common man like me but I had a friend who helped me stay with her. I recommend staying at jungle resort cause that’s the only way to go in a keep safari. The rest of the resorts can only send you in a bus. Please don’t take your kids who are very young cause they will make noises which can be a disaster in terms of sightings animals. Overall amazing wildlife to see here. Just go there already. Stop reading this. 😋

Just awesome....had been through this reserve to reach wayanad..witnessed 3 cute elephants and several groups of deer's all along the route. the happiest thing is that we were not even on a safari...but just passing via the reserve. I would strongly recommended to go on a safari.(please do not keep high expectations, leave it to the luck)

A beautiful place and treat to eyes, Its a Drive through, It’s open from 6AM to 6PM, You will be having only 1 hr time to cross the check post. Plenty of wildlife can be viewed in this Park. Best time to visit is early in the morning @ 6 am.

Best place to visit and spend good time exploring wildlife. Greenery and wild forests give us a different feel. We could able to find many tigers, thanks to them taking care of such wild species.

Nagarahole Tiger Reserve (formerly known as Rajiv Gandhi (Nagarahole) National Park) is a national park located in Kodagu district and Mysore district in Karnataka, India. This park was declared the 37th Tiger Reserve of India in 1999. It is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The Western Ghats Nilgiri Sub-Cluster of 6,000 km2 (2,300 sq mi), including all of Nagarhole National Park, is under consideration by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee for selection as a World Heritage Site.[2] The park has rich forest cover, small streams, hills, valleys and waterfalls, and populations of Bengal tiger, gaur, Indian elephant, Indian leopard, chital and Sambar deer. The park ranges the foothills of the Western Ghats spreading down the Brahmagiri hills and south towards Kerala state. It lies between the latitudes 12°15'37.69"N and longitudes 76°17'34.4"E. The park covers 643 km2 (248 sq mi) located to the north-west of Bandipur National Park. The Kabini reservoir separates the two parks. Elevations of the park range from 687 to 960 m (2,254 to 3,150 ft). It is 50 km (31 mi) from the major city of Mysore[3] and 220 km (137 mi) from the Karnataka state capital of Bengaluru.[4] Together with the adjoining Bandipur National Park (870 km2 (340 sq mi)), Mudumalai National Park (320 km2 (120 sq mi)) and Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (344 km2 (133 sq mi)), it forms the largest protected area in Southern India, totalling 2,183 km2 (843 sq mi).

An experience of a lifetime as we were lucky to spot tigers on our first safari here. Whats worthy of mention is the effort put in by the forest department drivers to give u that opportunity. How they share information of a sighting and ensure u reach that spot is remarkable. Remarkable b cos they are doing this several times a day and possibly for many years. But to understand the sentiment of the visitors and take that effort every time to make their experience memorable is commendable.

Such an amazing place to explore the flora and fauna. The park is located in the banks of the Kabini river and rich in animals because of its geographical peculiarity. The forest officers are friendly and helpful. The cost of the safari is about 2600 per person which is absolutely worth spending.

I never went with an expectation to see a tiger. I was happy with the beautiful safari - nice morning weather, a three hour drive inside a beautiful forest and witnessed so many deers, bison, peacock, wild dog and wild squirrels. May be the tiger was on a long weekend break with family.

The drive is very good. Road is very bad completely of pot holes inside the national park. Please do not follow the Google map navigation as it misleads you, please ask the nearby people for directions. Time of 1 hour is given for a drive is 35 kms inside the national park which has 4 different exits and we need to exit from the gate mentioned in the slip otherwise we will be fined of 1000 rupees and you need to be fast on that road in order to prevent from being fined rupees 1000 for reaching after 1 hour. The safari by bus is around 650 rupees per person present only in the morning around 6am. In the afternoon safari by jeep Costs around 1300 rupees per person. The people suggest to stay overnight at the stays near the national park in order to go for a safari. Even we too missed the safari even though we reached national park at around 8:30 am. No food nor snacks nor water is available and we need to carry everything by our own. In the rainy season only the driver seems much like a stress buster.

My first visit was exceptionally well and good. Book your seats via online to avoid higher fees, there is an chance the trip may be full usually on weekends and holidays. High chance of wild animals siteings, keep you cameras turned on for instant shots. I was really lucky to watch Bear that to the first closest watch in my life. Worth to visit. If you’re lucky enough you’ll see more animals.

Visited during June 1st week. Couldn't spot any tigers or cheetahs, but the guides were knowledgeable enough to help us find/identify birds,flora, and other smaller wildlife. They recommended a visit between November and March for the best wildlife viewing opportunities. I would recommend you book in advance as the chances of booking on the day itself are low. You might have to pay a premium, but it is very hassle free. And don't arrive late as the safari vehicles don't wait for you.

Nagarhole National Park is a national park located in Kodagu district and Mysore district in Karnataka, India. It is one of India's premier Tiger Reserves along with the adjoining Bandipur Tiger Reserve and Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary.

Pretty nice reserve forest. There is a public road through the forest which is open during the day time - so you can drive through the forest and watch the spotted deers and peacocks. Safari is available which takes you inside the forests. Commonly sighted animals are elephants, spotted deers, peacocks, Sambar, Gaur (Indian Bison), Malabar Giant Squirrel, Gray Langur, Barking deer etc. The forest is very beautiful with nice teak trees and multiple jungle ponds that attracts birds and other animals. Worth a visit, recommend an early morning safari.

An amazing place to refresh our mind from busy life, best time to visit is November to February There is options to hire open jeeps to explore the national park and the guides are helpful. Good option for beginners in photography to improve their skills. Its almost same as mudumalei national park but the management here is better Elephants, deer's, peacocks, forest bullies, and monkeys are frequently viewed

If you are planning for Safari then have to book online. You can drive through Nagarahole forest in your own vehicle by registering vehicle number in the entrance.

Nagarahole Tiger reserver is one of the few places where we can see so much of Wild Life in a single 2 hours Safari from Karnataka Forest Department. Its so well maintained and its a pleasant sight to witness the Wild Life at its full glory. Kids will get excited and enjoy seeing the wild life. A must visit for everyone who are interested in Wild Life.

A worthy experience and a must visit for wildlife lovers in south. If you are lucky you can spot a tiger during your safari.

Wonderful experience while driving through nagarhole national park. Found bison, quite a few deer and a pair of elephants. These elephants are mother and son.

Place is not so adventurous, I was mis guided by the reviews. Yes it will be good if we see tiger, however apart from tiger nothing else since deer , peacocks and bison can be sighted most of the time. Also safari cost is too high , government needs to reopen online portal for booking and fix charges to avoid internals looting money.

You can drive through the forest till Kutta. 6 am to 6 pm can drive through . A slip will be given with entry time . Vehicle need to reach out side by one hour else will be fined Rs 1000 every hour . It's a nice drive . First 2 kms from hunsur( jlr kings ) sidee is bad after that is fine. Chances to see wild life if your driving early morning . You can also take bus for jungle safari at the gate .

Nagarahole reserve forest is a best place for nature lovers, the price per person for bus safari here is 460/- , they will take you into the woods for 1.5hrs. If you are lucky enough you can sight wild animals but we spotted only deers and elephant.

Guys spotting a tiger is very rare here . If you just want to take a ride in forest then i would suggest you this. You can spot some deer most of time and sometimes elephant, bear, peacock. We felt like waste of money just to ride in forest. First initial minutes is interesting but later it becomes boring

Park Timings : 6:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m . All vehicles will be permitted only in park timings. Even if you reach @ 6:05 in the evening, you will not be allowed to enter . Three safari tours in bus are provided. Each bus has 26 seats and costs 350/- per ticket. Safari duration 1 hr.

its an amazing expirience to have that ride through the forest.

The wild life safari in nagarhole was an amazing experience 👌👌🐯🐾🐘 We were lucky to spot a 🐯🐅 in our visit. It was relaxing by lying on the ground among the shrubs. Saw a lot of 🦌 and few 🐘 and many 🐒

Don't go on weekends as it is 1 and a half hour Govt safari if you are taking one. You can pre book the tickets online. Our trip was not so great as we spotted only few deers and monkeys . The only highlight was we saw a tiger resting in a pond at the end of our safari and also the driver only waited there for 3 min as he had to reach back to Safari gate for his next trip.

The safari is fantastic. The jungle in Nagarhole is lovely. The greatest time to see the jungle in all of its glory is early in the morning when you get a 6:00 ticket. If you want to see a tiger or saya (if you're lucky), I recommend going on the evening safari. Pre-booking is preferred, however tickets can also be purchased in person.

Nature Nook ,Nagarhole Nature Nook - Nature Nook -- Nature Nook, The wonderful place which I was dreaming about from long time. We have been to this place 22nd April 2022 and stayed there for a day. I had a wonderful experience from time of booking till end of our stay at Nature Nook. Mr. Ravi Chand helped in every point to make out stay more memorable and wonderful. The staff at the facility are very polite and helpful. I know it’s very difficult to maintain such a nice hospitality in mid of a jungle. The entire facility is fenced with iron shutters and excellent security during night times. Not much crowd and very decent and the night sleeping by looking at stars you will feel the nostology of childhood. The rooms are extreme luxury and designed well with two storied bunkers and transparent sky view in the night. He has taken care of rooms with extreme care and following the green tribunal and forest authority rules and environment friendly. The food they served also extremely clean, strictly prohibited alcohol, and smoking at the premise. You will feel the fresh air lightness of breathing compared to crowded cities. On day one post lunch we went to safari on the bus, of course the raid has been arranged by Mr. Ravi. And the next day morning we went to safari on a Jeep, this also got arranged by Mr. Ravi. Both the times the ride went for a period of 3 to 3.5 hours and got a good sightseeing of animals. Though the animal tourism is purely luck, we got good exploration of animals’ birds and rare trees, lushy green fields and high rising trees touching the sky. We were searching for a rare flower Ball lily plant, but no luck during the journey. My wife liked it so much and we enquired the same at couple of nurseries as well. No luck. Surprisingly after couple of days Mr. Ravi called me that he has that plant and arranged to get that to my home. She just loved it and so much to have this plant at home. This tells that how much attention Mr. Ravi gives to his guests and friends. Once again, Thanks much Mr. Ravi. Nagarhole tiger reserve is the best place for animal exploration and a complete strech of forest is around 40 km from end to end . And must see sight.

Beautiful views and early morning jungle safari gives you mesmerising experience. We could spot different animals in their wild habitat. Overall it was very good.

Beautiful forest reserve . Spotted a tiger on the river cruise. Calm quiet and serene . U can just get lost in your own time space .

It's closed now for bad weather. But when I reached here sky was clear. We traveled here from Mumbai. It's wasn't even raining. We went Tholpetty, and did jeep safari. You can see we reached first here, my car number is MH47 (Mumbai suburbs) I did road trip.. and could not enter

Awesome 30 KM drive through out the Forest enjoying & sighting of wildlife ( Try to cross early morning).. mostly Deers , Monkey, Bird's,... Need 2 cross other end (Nanchi Gate) within 1 hr by car ( 6 AM- 6PM ) ..2-wheelers not allowed in this route... you have options to have Jungle Safari in the morning & noon..

To break down our mechanical life, the park is a great way...🌳🌳🌳

It's the best place for wildlife.! Blessed with nature and many types of wild animals.. wildlife photographers paradise it is..!! Kabini river is the best part can find many types birds for birding shoot.! At Summer time can spot most of the animals in Kabini backwaters.! Can stay in JLR and can do Safaris.!

My picture is from the way to Wayanad from Bangalore after the Nagalhole check post. I think the views are better at Bandipur than this. The road is superb and low traffic.

Nice & fantastic place for animals and birds lust green areas and for stay in the forest and safari are fantastic.

NAGARAHOLE; Silence of the Mist, Bark of the deer. Billion sights seen by the fallen tree, Warmth of Thayi Bhumi. Resting of the moisture, thirst of love. Nature at its best, which does not expect anything but Love and care. The above words are not just typed but the talk of my Anthariyamin. Yes I bond, I feel, I care and I express my gratitude towards our mother earth. Feel her; our mother. Stay blessed. Thank you. #bhumithayi #motherearth #nagarahole

Nagarahole is an important Tiger Reserve in Karnataka and is a major hub of conservation under Project Tiger and Project Elephant. The Protected Area supports large assemblages of carnivores and herbivores: Tiger, Leopard, Asiatic wild dog and Sloth bear, Asiatic Elephant, Gaur, Sambar, Chital, Muntjac, Four horned antelope, Wild pig, Mouse deer and South-western langur.

My visit to Nagarhole Tiger Reserve Forest road in October 2023 was a great experience. We spotted lots of wild animals. However, the road wasn't in the best condition, and it's important to maintain a minimum speed of 40km/h without stopping to reach the next checkpost within one hour to avoid penalties. Despite this, the forest atmosphere was fantastic.

Roads that make me to wonder and feel refreshed on my every take on it in this beautiful Monsoons.... Land of Beauty, Roads of Heaven !!! 💚 #Nagarhole_National_Park

Unexpected incidents, Started our journey by car from Kushalnagar via Gonikoppa and reached Kutta gate at 1PM. Ticket counter was supposed to open at 2PM. Due to demand, got ticket for 2nd trip 4PM - 5.30PM safari, it costed 350 per person for a bus ride. Unexpectedly a forest guard Gururaj(52) who was on duty at Nagarhole wildlife limits was killed in an elephant attack around 2PM. Started safari, spotted Deer, langoor, samba, eagle, wild boar. Then we spotted tiger crossing the road (very rare). We finished at around 5.50. Took forest entry to Hunsur. It's a 35km forest road and you get an hour to cross forest limits. It was around 630PM complete road was blocked by wild buffaloes photo attached, waited for around 10mins to get the road cleared. Just 2km before forest exit, got wild elephants around 10 in center of road. Elephants were roaring loud, had to reverse and take u-turn back for around 5km to meet forest guards. Thank God they escorted us till we cross elephant limits and safely crossed forest exit check post. Strictly recommend forest entry closing time to be at around 5PM instead of 6PM.

This park was declared the thirty seventh Project Tiger, Tiger reserves of India in 1999. It is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The Western Ghats Nilgiri Sub-Cluster of 6,000 km2 (2,300 sq mi), including all of Nagarhole National Park, is under consideration by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee for selection as a World Heritage Site. The park has rich forest cover, small streams, hills, valleys and waterfalls. The park has a healthy predator-prey ratio, with many tigers, Gaur, elephants, Indian leopards, and deer (Chital, Sambar, etc.).

Nagahole is officially known as Rajiv Gandhi National Park and it's also part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The Kabini River runs between Bandipur and Nagahole, and it's not unusual to see herds of elephants on the river bank. The Kabini side of Nagarhole has some outstanding luxury safari lodges.

Beautiful nature, abundant greenery, plenty of wildlife. If you come early in the morning, you will get a good sighting of wildlife. Even if you are just crossing park, you will come across many. The sad part is the forest officers give you only 1 hour time from one check post to the other, if you take more time, they will charge you Rs.1000 fine. A little around 5-10 mins here and there will not be a big issue.

National Park..... Nah - Its a Part of National Jungle. One of the best breath-taking experiences yoi can find here. Let me take you to step by step Entry from one Gate and exit on the Other side - Your Vechile is Accessible but with a Fixed time and Speed Limit. No Stopping / No feeding Animals - That being said about Feeding - Yes, You will be able to see huge pack of Deers roaming around the Road side. These are abundant here. So,the other animals are WildBoars , Elephants 🐘 & If you are Lucky - Tigers. 🐅 There is fixed slot timing for Safari's. Do contact the public contact office which is present at both ends of the Gate. Usually, the Safar's are in the morning and evening , Not at Night. Must Do - Just enter from one Gate with your Vechile - Drive within the Speed Limit and enjoy the scenery of the jungle.

A trip to Nagarhole national park. Enjoyed the Jeep and boat Safari. The jungle looked beautiful at this time of the year with lush green grass and trees around. Missed sighting the big cats but had a great experience. In Shah Allah will visit the place again in March.

Just a lucky day here....

A beautiful place , Its a Drive through ,Open inbetween 6AM to 6PM,You will be having only 1hour time to cross the check post, Plenty of wildlife can be viewed in this Park

A great wildlife sanctuary in Coorg, Karnataka. One-hour Safari in a mini-bus of forest department is the main attraction. Mostly you can spot Elephants, Gaurs , Peacocks and Deers etc. Morning safari is advisable to spot more animals.

It's really amazing place to visit. We have stayed here in the the middle of the forest in GOVT IB. Our rooms is surrounded by full of deers. If you're lucky you will get encounter elephant too.

Soothing nature and beautiful greenery. Can see the elephant and deer. Do not make noise while driving as the animals will scare also do not get down from the vehicle as well. 6AM-6PM will be the last forest entry . Also road is not maintained properly, hence drive safe.

I have been hearing about it so many time’s finally I decided to visit this place and yes i loved it very-much. This jungle is somewhat different, has a very different charm. Trees are so huge and dense. Lots of wild life. A trip worthwhile to cut out from city life.

We had an experience of safari in the month of April we could spot deers, peacock , jungle pig and herd of yak , but no tiger and cheetah:( but apart from that you should experience the jungle in the early morning it's a complete heaven. Best suggestion is that take a jungle safari in the early morning

The place is not well managed although the park is huge and animals are amazing. For starters, the buses used in safari are in really bad condition and spoils the experience. Jeep Safari is much better. Also, this place have no food options around. If the place is thoughtfully managed as a tourist place, this will be an amazing location.

An good experience into the wild. Its an pure luck to see few animals. Do not visit without online bookings, there will be limited safari’s for direct checkin.

❤️Peace with pure souls ❤️(Staying in Forest) We booked dormitory in kfd official website, per person 770 without food and safari. FOOD meals (125₹) Tiffin (90₹) Tea(15₹). SAFARI if u book or if you say to room maintenance person he'll arrange and safari vehicle will come near Dormitory. And we are lucky we saw 🐅 TIGER and cub 3 kind of rooms are there: Dormitory 1, Dormitory 2 (Gangotri), Kaveri House it's only for Government official Place: Dormitory was well maintained clean and hygiene but hot water will come only from solar they've geaser but it will not work Food: Very tasty, non veg if u want u can bring from outside Distance: DORMITORY TO SHOP 10KM payment: Except Dormitory, You have to pay in cash for food and safari better u carry some cash with you or else u need to go for KUTTA Town it's around 10km from Dormitory

Passing through your reserve forest during the monsoon season is a treat to the eyes. Although spotting of tigers is more during summers, elephants and other wild life can be spotted during all seasons. Bus safari and jeep safaris are available on advance booking online. One can also stay in the jungle rest houses by booking online. The place is definitely worth a visit.

Safari is purely luck but drive through the road to the safari point is awesome and may have chance to see many animals

Felt too good with safari & the staffs were soo good & informative. Better u need to go for safari here in between january to april.. Moments of animals is high in this period, in rest of the months evening Safari is the best time to sight view

Previoualy known as 'Rajiv Gandhi National Park' .. Online booking is suggested... Otherwise chances for not getting tickets,if a rush day. Only 4 trips in a day... Two forenoon and two afternoon..

Super cool place and natural beauty we saw some wild deer when we were crossing the forest.

The way to nagarhole is very pretty surrounded by trees, we could the deer s grazing around hsppily. Also elephants can be seen while on our way back.Definitely a beautiful place to visit.

Chances of seeing a tiger is very less, but offers a good drive through the forest.

Amazing sanctuary, Black panthers and tigers are a regular watch here. Take maximum safaris possible so that you will have good sightings of the canines.

Reached there for safari at 5.45 , started at 6.30, 200 per person. Sightings included dear, monkeys, boars, peacock.. but the morning rIde thru forest was nice

Beautiful jungle but very less animals

Its a wonderful experience. Children above 8years who can appreciate the wildlife would love the experience. They have a provision for safari.

(Translated by Google) Knowing how (Original) Saper

Greener than the green and dense forest safari

Wildlife beauty

Natural

Suprb place so many animals

No permission two wheeler and heavy vehcles

Always my favourite place and location. It's a place of beauty and the beast.

Super

National park and tiger reserve at Nagarahole. Its very near to wayanad district. Reservation of safari was little hectic as no proper guidance available at the counter near entrance.

Trip Timing 5.30, 7.30, 2.30, 4.30.

It is a beautiful place. The jungle is quite serene and has its own tranquility. We booked Gangotri guest house that is inside the jungle. It's is almost 30km from the main gate. This main gate stays open till 6pm in the eveningand once it closes they won't allow anyone to enter. The best time to visit is December. Safari can be booked online. If anyone is staying in gangotri only veg food will be provided in minimal charges. 2night stay will be good. Irrupu falls is very near so one can go there and take bath. Please avoid taking plastics and do not throw garbage where ever you feel like. It is a nice weekend destination from Bangalore.

Nice

Beautiful drive.

Awesome experience

Chances of spotting tiger are very minimal. However the bus ride through the woods is enjoyable. Lot of deers we can see for sure.

If you want to see wild animals in real you must visit this place. At least 2-3 animals will be spotted.

We can see different types of Wild animals like 🐯 🐅 🐆🐘🐿️🦧🦨🐃🦌🦚 etc...............

Beautiful National Park.

Awesome tourist place

The new safari start location is not available in Google maps. The safari has limited seats and online booking is available for safari tickets before 48hours.

Simply superb

For my friend is here only leaving like animals ..c my frnd pic

I saw lots of spotted deeds and wild buffalo here and at the same time tiger came out from the bushes but it didn't do any harm to that deers i think tiger was not hungry at that time

After reaching all along from Bangalore........they said NO to get in...we were on time ..even then...very much disappointing...that’s y Karnataka tourism can never flourish...they are never travellers friendly...they don’t give enough details in net ...make random rules when we reach...

Amazing, Beautiful ❤️❤️ Forest Lush green, fantastic view, wild animals But don't feed wild animals & don't stop vehicle Drive slowly

Don't go for safari waste of money.

A serene place with buzzing wildlife. A good chance that you'll find spotted deer, bonnet Macaque and Grey footed langur. If you're lucky then you might see Indian elephants. Pretty nice road with each side covered with trees.

The timing for the off road ride is 6am - 7.30am first morning trip, 7.30am -9am second morning trip, 2pm - 3.30pm evening first trip, 3.30pm - 5pm is the final trip timing.New experience through the forest.. Can travel through a truck in off road..I had saw some animals also.. It was nice experience.

Nature at its best . This place is rich in different types of flora and fauna . One should definitely drive through this place . If you are lucky you can spot different wild animals here .

Excellent nature, could see bunch of antelopes. Driver stops couple of times but doesn’t explain anything. Hefty fees for DSLRs with big lenses and may not have enough time to shoot. Couldn’t see any big cats.

Wow...It wa great experience... Enjoyed spotting animals Spotted 3 elephants One tiger and as usual samba and deer and langoor, monkeys , peacocks, different birds and mangoos. All over enjoyed with the family.

I am satisfied

Good place with organised parking restrooms and safari rides" We were lucky to got chance to meet Mr. Tiger There is no online booking for the Safari at Kabini. One has to go in person if want to book boat safari in kabini or jeep safari in kabini from Dammanakatte Forest Department Office in Antharsanthe situated within the distance of 1 km from the kabini entry gate.

Good place to visit and explore

Nice place to visit

Natural forest with rich biodiversity especially Tiger and Elephant

Nice forest

Jungle sighting is very nice here

Best forest vew and riding experience 👍

drivers are not fit for sighting. over speed. and about getting ticket system is very very worst

Heaven for wildlife lovers. Visited multiple times and every time we discovered something new about the jungle and nature. Amazing!

One can drive with their own two wheeler till the check post. From there you are not allowed to go by two wheeler and you have to go by purchasing the entrance ticket at the checkpost either to go in a bus or jungle safari whichever is affordable for you. You are allowed to go by a yellow number plated taxi inside the jungle, but one has to exit from the other side and they have to travel around 15-20kms to reach the entrance from which they have entered. So reach early at the checkpost and get the ticket for safari or for bus to have a nice ride through the jungle.

If you are interested in Safari , try to book online, get the early hours slot for Safari, seeing wild animals is totally depends on luck....#jeevhari.......26/12/2020

Worst road

When I have visited I found nothing but dear soooo much disappointed to me and family

Cool place... Good experience for a forest drive...

Luck by chance

🙂

Excellent Experience.

Nice❤

Hare krishna

Nothing very special except for mongoose and monkeys

Loved it

Not expect elephant tigers you will be Lucky see animals

Very pleasant place

Booking site never works and doesn't show available slot dates at all even if it works. Not sure the purpose of this site.

Must visit, great experience

Nice place for morning safari & welcome to new World.. Don't expect much animals because they don't like to see us.. Only we like

Morning and evening time is the best time to visit here, trucking facility is available

Paradise for wildlife fanatics as it gives you the chance to see the animals as close as it can get. And the fact that we had to cross the entire 32km through the Nagarhole national park in 1 hour from the time of issuance of an entry ticket kept us on our toes. The 1 hour time cap is kept as to discourage tourist from stopping their cars inside the national park for photography as the park is also inhabited by tigers. Note: The best time to visit is in the morning from 7am as animal spotting is said to be higher.

Good place to see wildlife. Now a days there are some changes in the safari ticket charges and pickup points. Now the tickets are issued at two entrances in the park. There are two safaris, at 6.30 and 8.30 only. Two vehicles in each trip. So the number of persons who can participate in safari is limited. You have to reach early enough to get a ticket, especially on a holiday. The chance of viewing the animals depend on the season and your luck. In summer season, you can see spotted deer, Indian guar, wild dogs, elephants, sambar deer, red-faced monkeys, languor monkeys, stripe necked mongoose and differed types of birds, python etc. If you are lucky you may see tiger leopard or black panther. Better take 5 or 6 rides to have better chance. Don't blame the place if you don't see any of these. Wild life is like that. You have to take the chance.

Amazing Place🤩

If you are a nature lover then must visit this place.beautiful creation by God

It is a national park which preserve animals.

It most beautiful place I have visited .it had the national animal and good fo raingle

Govt Safari is closed till Dec 1st week. Can drive in main road after 4pm and find plenty deers, Wild buffaloes , Few Komodo Dragons , Wild boars.

Must visit place for spotting wild animals. And one of the most beautiful forest I've ever been.

Went through this jungle road while traveling to irrupu waterfalls. Journey is so beautiful as one can really enjoy the nature at its raw form and u can see how animals are really happy when us humans don't encroach in their territories. I hope they find this peace from us predators like this always .Great job by karnataka govt .

Decent place to be at You need to enter through the Nagarhole forest checkpost (search for that on maps) We were on two wheelers and its not allowed inside the perimeter, So we had parked it outside. We got our tickets done at 2:30 pm it costed 600 per person and there is a safari bus arranged the by the reserve which starts from 3:30 PM till 6:00PM We were lucky to be able to spot tiger and a bear and also saw eagle, elephant, lots of deers.

Nice place to visit if you want to see the animals in the wild... Prefer weekdays... Safari price is same for all days, but safari duration is less in weekends... Weekend it's 1.5hrs and other days it's 3hrs... Animal sightings are purely based on your luck... Price is 610... Take a stay near h.d.kote, if required... near the tiger reserve it's too costly... Indian hotel on the way will be good for food... There are Enthusiastic safari drivers to show you animals...!

Nagarhole National Park, also known as Rajiv Gandhi National Park, is a wildlife reserve in the South Indian state of Karnataka. Part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, the park is backed by the Brahamagiri Mountains and filled with sandalwood and teak trees. The Kabini River winds through jungle landscapes, home to tigers, Asian elephants and a variety of birds. Nearby, the Irupu Falls cascade down tree-lined rocks

Amazing place to visit with Children. Best way to bring the young generation to feel and respect the nature .

Went to safari through government buses, weekday safari is better than weekend. Weekend safari feels rushed. Boat safari done by JLR was worth the price.

Excellent Wildlife Sanctuary - Did a two way drive through from Kuta to the Tibetan Settlement and back again. It was an afternoon trip and wildlife sightings were limited but on the way back we were lucky to see a huge tusker and other animals (no tiger, unfortunately) Another well planned trip is due. Most interesting and inspiring to see volunteers from the local Coorg Wildlife society assisting the forest personnel in regulating tourists at the Kuta entrance (especially the 'wild' ones who were apparently made to pick up their garbage thrown inside the sanctuary and sent back to their origin!)

A beautiful drive via the Nagarahole Forest adds to the travel experience of any road trip. It would also be even better when it is raining and you could sometimes get lucky spotting some gorgeous wild creatures.

A Scenic Drive from Bangalore to Kerala When traveling to Kerala from Bangalore, taking the route that passes through the Nagarhole National Park or the Bandipura National Park is a must-do. Despite the recent entry fee of Rs 20, the drive through these lush forests is an unforgettable experience that makes it all worth it. Firstly, the journey from Bangalore to Mysore takes only about 90 minutes on the newly opened Mysore expressway, making for a smooth ride. Once you enter the forest, you'll be greeted by stunning views of lush greenery on both sides of the narrow road. However, be careful of the huge potholes that can damage your vehicle. There are many speed breakers in place to keep vehicles from speeding. As you drive, keep an eye out for the variety of wildlife that can be seen along the way, such as deer, peacocks, and monkeys. If you're lucky, you may even spot elephants crossing the road. However, it's important to stay in your vehicle at all times, as it may not be safe to venture out. Overall, this road trip is a wonderful and refreshing experience that I highly recommend. Whether you're headed to Wayanad or Calicut, taking this route is sure to be an unforgettable part of your journey.

Good place for visiting, not seen any tiger, leopard, panther, Leon, may be they are resting. Only saw monkeys, deer, stag, elephant, eagle and wild pig. Greenary is awesome..

Dont have high expectations- We were unaware tickets can be booked online so we came here at 5:45am for 7:30am bus safari. There wasn't much queue but I was told that all tickets are sold out when I was second in line when the tickets were being issued. I was told to wait because they said they expect some people who booked online will not arrive and in that case, a ticket can be issued to us. Finally we got the ticket for 460rs per person. However, we only spotted deers, peacock and wild boars. We didn't get to enjoy our safari! PRO TIP - Do not sit beside the window seat where there are vertical bars in the middle because you will not get a good view. Washroom here is really dirty as well. Suggest booking tickets online one month in advance during peak season.

Nagarahole tiger reserve forest safari starts at 6am and end at 5.30pm. They charge Rs.5000 for jeep rent and rs.300 for per person. Upto 9 persons can go in jeep. If you wish to see more animals better to go in the morning.

Good place and enjoyed the deep jungle also if ur lucky u will find tiger but we found elephants, peacocks and deers and some beautiful birds

It's a beautiful tiger reserve with Kabini having the most tiger sightings among all the other entrances. You will find many professional photographers and foreigners at the Kabini entrance. One tip, Choose Kabini Ticket Booking on the map instead of just Kabini.
