About Kabini
The Kabini river winds its way from the Wayanad district in Kerala to join the Kaveri in Karnataka. Along the way it feeds the Kabini reservoir, the shores of which form one of the best, most accessible places in the country to sight wildlife. In the summer, animals are drawn to the water as well as the lush meadows on the fringes of the reservoir.
The river flows along the edge of the famous Nagarhole National Park and Bandipur National Park, the top places in India, probably Asia, to spot herds of the Asian elephant. Also, in 2011 Karnataka's tiger population overtook that of Madhya Pradesh, making it the the number one tiger state in the country. Visitors have a great chance of seeing big cats in the wild, as well as sightings of sambar, langurs, sloth bears, chital, crocodiles, pythons, leopards and over 250 varieties of birds.
This region is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, an area of 5,522 square kilometres in the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. The density of tree cover and animal life, as well as the number of streams and waterfalls, make Kabini a magical part of the reserve.
