amazing place ruined by people. People driving car inside protected areas. Bring dogs and disturb wildlife
A good weekend gateway from Bangalore. we went on a bike ride taking the scenic route. We were not able to see the blackbucks as it was a little late. There are good shelters to hangout.
An excellent gateway for wildlife enthusiasts as the place never disappoints and surprises you with endless possibilities in every turn. Be it small birds or raptors or blackbucks, this place offers all varieties of flora and fauna.
Rode here on our bikes. It's an open grassland with no entry fees. Google maps initially took us into a village, but the actual entry point was a few hundred metres ahead. Local villagers are helpful. Inside the park, we are free to ride around on bikes or drive around in cars along paths. Completely off road and very fun to ride the trails on bikes. We can spot black bucks in certain areas. There are also watch towers to rest. Please take care of the surroundings. We found a lot of empty beer bottles and trash in certain areas.
Choose pleasant cloudy weather to visit this place. Fantastic for off roading experience. Vast expanse of small grasslands.
Keep an eye on both sides of the road, as you may trace blackbucks. These are very shy animals and once they establish eye contact, they'll run off. We spent about 4 hours here. Were lucky to spot several blackbucks in group, but from a distance.
Best to have good quality binoculars and a camera. Mobile pics won't be effective for long shots. Carry lots of water. You won't find food or water here.
Lovely habitat of grass land. Beautiful scenic view,... Good action of Black bucks. Grassland birds and lot of migratory birds from different parts of world.
Enjoy the Nature beauty. Please do not carry any plastic inside this conservation area.
For birding- it's very large area. Birding is only via car. Not advisable to walking and birding.
Carry enough water and food. No food available inside this area.
The sanctuary is drive in place. The road inside is completely off-road drive and path is levelled. The sanctuary features lots of birds and ofcourse black bucks.
In summer parts of the sanctuary resemble dry African grass lands. Need patience, binoculars, good camera, water and some snacks.
Need a lot of patience to spot a black buck
Sometimes depends on luck as well
A clean place located remotely inside a shrub forest
This place is 2-3km inside a village where there is no proper road
You have to get here by private transport only.
Maintain silence and do not litter as it’s a forest conservation area
