Ooty to Bandipur
Significance of Bandipur National Park
Bandipur was once widely known as the private hunting grounds of the Maharaja of Mysore. This area houses tigers, elephants, antelopes, bison, gaurs and several other species of wildlife. Today, the Bandipur National Park is a highly regarded national park in the country that is well-maintained and renowned for the second-highest tiger population in India. Bandipur is also significant for elephants because it is the last home and refuge for the Asiatic Wild Elephants. You can visit the park and join wildlife safaris on canters and jeeps with other wildlife enthusiasts during specific hours. It is to be noted that the traffic movement is banned in the area from 9 pm to 6 am.
