Adventures Holidays In Kabini,karnataka,india

The best thing about Kabini is the sense of tranquility and solitude that envelops the forest reserve. The elephant rules here and if you are lucky, you may come across herds of tuskers splashing in the river or crashing through the wilderness. The tiger and leopard are much more elusive, while

sloth bear, gaur (Indian bison), antelope, sambar, wild boar and any number of monkeys live here. Kabini shelters the osprey, brown-headed fishing eagle, racket tailed drongo, goldenbacked woodpecker, stork and peafowl among almost 250 species of bird life. Choose any time of the year to come here for a wildly refreshing break. Spend some time in the watchtower near the river and spy on the wildlife as they venture out to the river. Besides jeep safaris and elephant rides, another interesting way to explore the jungles is by coracle. These are circular bamboo boats lined with buffalo hide, on which you float down the river. If this seems too daring, try cruising on a motorboat, sailboat or paddleboat which are also available at Kabini.
