Beyond the boat ride, Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary has a paved walkway with three wooden watchtowers overlooking the islands. These are ideal for early-morning birding during the sanctuary's timings, when activity is highest. Kingfishers, cormorants, and egrets are common from the towers, and otters are occasionally seen, offering more value to your Ranganathittu bird sanctuary tickets.
What makes this place special
The northernmost tower overlooks a broad curve of the Kaveri, offering the widest panorama in the sanctuary and a key sight on a Ranganathittu bird sanctuary Mysore trip.

Seasonal sandbars exposed in summer host one of Karnataka's largest river tern breeding colonies; this area of Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary is closed to boats to protect nests.
A quieter backwater near the southern watchtower is where smooth-coated otters are regularly seen at dawn, a special reward for arriving early during Ranganathittu bird sanctuary timings.
