About Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary
Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, named after the life-giving Bhadra River, lies wrapped in mist and mystery within the Western Ghats. Its tranquil waters cradle the reflection of teak forests, where tigers prowl unseen, and elephants tread ancient paths. From the call of the Malabar whistling thrush to the shimmer of butterflies in morning dew, every inch of Bhadra resonates with wild poetry. A retreat for nature lovers, it offers boat safaris, trekking trails, and the calm serenity of an untouched world.
Best time to visit: October to March
