Tiger sightings at Bandipur have increased significantly in recent years as conservation efforts succeed in protecting and increasing the tiger population. While tiger sightings can never be guaranteed due to their elusive nature and vast territories, Bandipur offers better chances than many other Indian reserves. Morning safaris during summer months when tigers frequent water sources provide the best opportunities for that ultimate wildlife sighting.

Elephant herds roam Bandipur in large numbers, with the park hosting one of South India’s largest Asian elephant populations. Sightings of elephant families including playful calves are virtually guaranteed, creating delightful experiences especially for children experiencing wildlife for the first time. The park’s grasslands allow excellent elephant photography opportunities with animals clearly visible against scenic backdrops.

The Cauvery River splits into multiple channels before plunging into the gorge creating numerous waterfalls of varying sizes.
