DANDELI WILDLIFE

The sanctuary covers part of the Uttara Kannada District's rich forests on the river Kali's banks. In the jungles of Dandeli, one can spot several animals and birds, including many endangered species, which provided reasonable grounds for the government to declare the Dandeli forest a National Wildlife Sanctuary in 1956.

The sanctuary now covers an area of 834.16 square kilometres, making it the second-largest wildlife sanctuary in Karnataka. Along with its adjoining Anshi National Park, Dandeli is the abode of 40 tigers. All credit goes to the government's announced Project Tiger, which helped increase the tiger count to 40 from just 13 in 1997.

It's not just tigers; the sanctuary is a natural home to leopards, black panthers, elephants, deer, beer, antelopes, reptiles and more than 300 bird species as well. Meandering tributaries of the Kali-Kaneri and Nagajhari rivers, when crisscrossing the jungle, leave the spectators spellbound.

The altitude varies from 100m to 970m, and the highest point is the Hegada Temba. Annual rainfall varies between 1250mm and 5000mm, averaging 2500mm per year. There is easy access by road and rail and convenient bus services.
