A quiet, wildlife-rich escape into the Nilgiri Biosphere
Nagarahole National Park forms the wild heart of Karnataka's Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve — dense moist deciduous forest crisscrossed by the Kabini and Lakshmana Tirtha rivers, and home to one of India's highest predator densities.
This 2-day itinerary pairs a comfortable forest-edge stay with a jeep safari and a river cruise, giving you the best chance to see Indian gaur, dhole (wild dogs), elephants, leopards and the elusive Bengal tiger.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before booking this package.
When is the best time to visit Nagarahole?
October to May is ideal, with the best wildlife sightings between February and May when animals concentrate around water sources.
How is Nagarahole different from Bandipur or Kabini?
Nagarahole has denser evergreen sections and a river corridor along the Kabini, making it especially good for gaur, dhole, elephants and waterbirds — in addition to the same tiger and leopard populations shared with Bandipur.
Are there both morning and afternoon safaris?
Yes. This package includes one jeep safari and one river cruise; additional safaris can be added on request based on availability.
Is Nagarahole family-friendly?
Absolutely. Stays and safaris are safe and comfortable for families with children aged 5 and above.
