Kabini



See from Ganesh eyes the entire of Kabini experience he had….
Sighting a Leopard at kabini is like a dream come true and this it was dream, actually I was more determined to see a Leopard. Capturing a leopard in your camera is like an achievement and I think every photographer would wanna make that happen.
Travelife organized the accommodation for us at a resort which included jeep safari as well boat safari. Let me tell you boat safari is the best experience we had, our guide took us on the river on a motor boat. We motored down the stream passing crocodiles, deer, wild boar, elephants, stork, eagles and deer. Here we 3 different variety of deer’s : spotted deer, sambar and barking deer’s who actually sound bizarre when they get started. Plenty of monkeys and peacocks were strolling freely on the shores of kabini. This helped us take a lot of pictures. Also we found lot of local fishermen tossing the fishing nets near the shore, children playing alongside their parents and people crossing the river on coracle boats.
Jeep safari was an extreme experience, for the first time ever I encountered 350 species of birds. Riverine habitat allows the forest to be surrounded with ample of opportunities for bird watching and wildlife sighting too. Starting to move further inside the jungle came across a herd of Indian Gaur and it was fantastic capturing some great shots of these gaurs. Moving head we spotted deers, Hanuman langurs, Elephants, serpent eagles and this all lead to gunny bag of excitement. Encouraged and thrilled enough to look in all directions possible, the guard just spotted the leopard on a tree branch making one of the most memorable for everyone. For the first we saw a beautiful cat in the wild, resulting a shiver in me for few seconds not allowing me to press the shutter button.
In no time so many jeeps were in there to capture the leopard on the tree branch. The cat disappeared between the bushes after a few minutes but this enthralling experience was there within us for the rest of the evening. The day ended with the most memorable photograph of a leopard. After this we had our dinner at resort booked for us by Travelife and the day ended.

Kabini’s spectacular wildlife and bird life!!!




Kabini is one of the most popular wildlife destinations of Karnataka, probably because of its easy accessibility, lush green landscape surrounding a large picturesque lake, and fantastic sightings of large herds of elephants.

It is 80 km away from Mysore and 205 km from Bangalore, and comprises the south-eastern part of Nagarole National Park. Situated on the banks of River Kabini, this forest reserve is spread over 55 acres of forestland, steep valleys, and water bodies.

Now it is considered to be one of the best wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka, famous for its spectacular wildlife and bird life. If any animal rules Kabini, it is the elephant. Besides elephants, you are likely to spot langurs, chital, sambar, bison, sloth bear, pythons, crocodile and if you are lucky tiger and leopard. The reserve is also home to around 250 species of bird life. The best wildlife sightings are between November and June.
