BRT Tiger Reserve Safari
About
The BRT Tiger Reserve spans 540 square kilometres across the Biligiriranga Hills in Chamarajanagar district, for those asking Biligiriranga hills which district. Positioned at the rare ecological meeting point where the Biligiriranga hills part of Eastern Ghats connect with the Western Ghats, the reserve answers the question of Biligiriranga hills part of which range by embodying characteristics of both mountain systems. This unique junction supports one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in peninsular India. Safari jeeps operate morning and afternoon from the K Gudi camp, and visitors are advised to confirm Biligiriranga hills timings for entry and wildlife drives. The landscape ranges from dry deciduous forest to moist woodland, creating ideal habitats for tigers, leopards, gaur, elephants and dholes, along with over 270 recorded bird species. Many travellers combine a safari with a visit to the nearby Biligiriranga hills temple at the summit for a complete hill experience.
