The
Bindipur National Park is one of the
most fascinating wild-life centers.
Established in 1931 by the Mysore
Maharajhas, this park is nestled in the
foothills of the Nilgiris.
As you penetrate deep
into the forest through the well
laid-out roads, you can almost here the
mute conversations between the animals
and the trees. They say that the flora
and fauna here exist in perfect harmony.
And it is because of this that the spot
here was chosen as the centre for the
Project Tiger. And since then the Tiger
population has almost doubled.
Of course there's a
lot, lot more to discover. Peafowl,
patridges, quail, hornbill, giant
squirrel, dhole( wild dog), elephants,
sambar, barking deer........... An
endless variety of wildlife florish
here. And the trees sheltering them are
even more beautiful. Teak, rosewood,
honne, mathi, bamboo and sandal.
What's more, you can
take a safari on elephant back to make
your visit memorable.

Far
from the din of the city, lies a calm,
peaceful land all by itself. Nestling
some very rare animals and birds.
