Anshi National Park



Travelife organized a trip for us to Anshi national park, not being aware of North Kannada in Karnataka. Anshi lies on the Karwar-Londa highway and is a part of Dandeli wildlife sanctuary. We had our cab ready at 10 pm and we were handed with the schedule by the Travelife coordinator on how the trip is going to be executed. As per the schedule we had to reach the resort at 5 am.

Our journey to Dandeli was very comfortable and all the 13 of us slept very well. The coordinator woke us up as we had reached the resort, settling inside we all just took some time and freshened up. Sipping hot cup of coffee we all felt so fresh and energetic to start with our day full of adventure. Few miles from the resort we reached the point were we had to start the trek, unloading the vehicle we started following our coordinator. Topographically anshi has deep valleys, steep hill slopes and dense forests. Passing through the park we observed some rare speices of flora and fauna, Teak, Silver oaks, Eucalyptus, weeds, Bauhinia, Diodspyrus, Xylia xyrocarpa, Diospyrous Acacia and Bambusa.

The animals we came across were Elephants, gaur, wild boar, sambar, spotted deer, barking deer, mouse deer, common langur, bonnet macaque, slender loris, jungle cat, black panther, mongoose, wild dog, sloth bear, Malabar giant squirrel and the porcupine. This definitely made it a unique and very educational kind of a trip for us and it was executed very well. The Schedule organized by Travelife was really a memorable one, truly they made this experience worth life living. We heartily thank the team of Travelife to make this happen to us.
