Kabini National Park

Kabini National Park, part of the larger Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, is Karnataka's most coveted wildlife destination, known for its forests and grasslands along the Kabini River backwaters. A dam created a reservoir that, in the dry months, draws one of Asia's largest elephant gatherings. Kabini is also the most reliable park for sighting a 'black panther'. Tigers, leopards, and over 285 bird species share the forest. The combined jeep and boat of a Kabini national park safari makes it one of India's most productive wildlife stops. Superb Kabini national park accommodation is available, with many a luxury Kabini national park resort clustered along the shore.
