    2iosphere @eserve, this national park is the protector of many

    endangered species. 2andipur supports a good population of many

    vulnerale species like Indian elephants, tigers, gaurs, Indian rockpythons, sloth ears, muggers, four/horned antelopes and dholes. #lso,

    what will most appeal you in 2andipur National Park is the large

    population of utter%ies. They are indeed the factor that rings more

    colour in the already colorful and vivacious park in South India.

    Nagarhole National Park

    2lessed with rich wildlife, thick "ungle and a pictures!ue lake, Nagarhole

    National Park is one of 5arnataka$s est wildlife getaways. #d"oining

    5aini Bake it forms a vital animal passage that runs through

    neighouring 2andipur National Park. 6espite sharing the same wildlife, it

    has fewer visitors than 2andipur, making it all the more appealing and of

    course less congested. Nagarhole features a good lend of dense "ungle

    and open meadows along the river ank, which makes for fantastic

    wildlife/watching. It is a home to tigers, elephants, leopards, gaurs,

    arking deer, wild dogs, onnet maca!ues and common langurs and
