Wildlife Tours in Kabini

Are you a wildlife enthusiast looking for a new place to uncover exotic flora and fauna? You may be familiar with Goa’s beaches and party atmosphere but the lesser-known side of Goa has a variety of colourful birds, leopards, monkeys, the gaur, the Indian bison and more. When it comes to wildlife tours in Goa, there are many spectacular biodiversity spots to choose from. 

This enchanting coastal state is home to lush wetlands, wildlife sanctuaries and mangroves that are perfect for wildlife tours in Goa. From Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary which is an ornithologist’s heaven to the Bhagwan Mahavir Sanctuary near the village of Mollem, Goa’s wildlife draws you in and invites you to study these exotic animals in their natural habitat.

So, tap into your love of nature and travel to this vibrant state to go on one of the wildlife tours in Goa! 

Immersing ourselves into wildlife can show us a different side of nature, one that is undomesticated by man and roams freely amidst lush beauty, away from the noise and pollution of urban settlements. To spot an animal in the wild requires a lot of patience and can be meditative in its own way, sharpening your sense of focus as you wait eagerly for a creature to saunter into view. Often when we go wildlife watching, we might not catch sight of any of the forest wildlife and this is part of the magic, motivating you to go back again and again.  

You might think wildlife tours in Mysore is limited to the magnificent Sri. Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, but there’s plenty to explore in and around the city that will keep your love for wildlife buzzing. It’s no surprise that wildlife is best found away from the city, in the quiet havens of towering trees, shrubs and open blue skies, so hop into your car and head to the beautiful Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary filled with vibrantly coloured species of birds or Nagarhole National Park where you can find different types of deer and the glorious Indian Tiger.  

Wildlife tours in Mysore aren’t complete without a stop at Sri. Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens which is one of the oldest zoos in India. Mysore’s iconic zoo is home to a variety of indigenous and exotic amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. The zoo was created from the King’s private menagerie and has completed over a 100 years of existence so dropping by its spectacular enclosures is a must.  

Whether you go on a short drive around the city or walk through its zoo, the wildlife tours in Mysore will give you a satisfying glimpse into the bounty of Karnataka’s wildlife.  

By virtue of the western region of Karnataka being included in the Western Ghats, it transforms the state to a biodiversity hotspot. Over 20 wildlife sanctuaries find their home here, a blessing and a delight to all those that are nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts or pursuing photography. It definitely makes for a great way to get away from the city hustle with family or friends to just come and take it all in. One such city to visit would be Chikmagalur. A hill station located in the southwest region; it is popular among trekkers but has many other places to discover like the age-old temples, waterfalls and wildlife sanctuaries. The Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary is located here and is a must-visit while checking off wildlife tours in Chikmagalur. 

Wildlife tours in Chikmagalur will not only include visiting the sanctuary but indulging in long nature-walks, boat rides and luxurious stays. Given that tigers are on the list to becoming extinct and are already an endangered species, catch glimpses of these majestic beasts on a tour given that there is a recognised tiger reserve here. If you have a few hours to spare during your stay here or want to be reminded of the majestic animals that add significantly to the ecosystem here, wildlife tours in Chikmagalur are an option you shouldn’t knock off the table.
