Immerse Yourself in the Wild Beauty of Kabini
Nestled on the banks of the Kabini River in Karnataka, this verdant sanctuary teems with elephants, tigers, gaurs and over 270 bird species. A riverfront haven, it’s one of India’s premier wildlife destinations.
Overview & Best Time to Visit
Spread across 640 km², Kabini forms part of Nagarhole National Park. The dry winter months (October–March) offer clear sightlines as animals congregate at the river. Monsoon (June–September) transforms the forest into an emerald paradise, though Jeep safaris may be limited.
Key Highlights & Attractions
• Early-morning boat safaris on the Kabini River for elephant and crocodile sightings.
• Jeep safaris through dense teak and bamboo forests in search of tigers and leopards.
• Birdwatching at deer-feeding spots—look for the Malabar pied hornbill.
• Overnight forest lodges with night-walks under a blanket of stars.
• Optional tribal village visits for cultural immersion.
