Wildlife & Nature Trips

Tiger reserves, bird islands and a spring that never runs dry — Karnataka's wild side, verified in person.

This is a short, honest list — we only add a sanctuary or forest camp once we've actually been, or a fellow traveller we trust has verified it for us. Karnataka's forests around the BRT hills and the Kaveri are where we've started; more states' wildlife will join as we travel further across India.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see tigers at B.R. Hills?

It's a protected tiger reserve, but sightings aren't guaranteed — go for the forest, the hilltop temple and the birdlife, and treat a tiger sighting as a bonus.

Best time for birdwatching at Ranganathittu?

June to November, during nesting season, when the islets fill with painted storks, herons and pelicans.

Is K Gudi suitable for families?

Yes, though it's run through Jungle Lodges & Resorts and needs advance booking — check availability before you plan your dates.
