Morning after breakfast drive to Kabini, a small forest reserve. Dinner and Overnight stay at Kabini.
Kabini is one of the most enchanting wildlife destinations of Karnataka. The forest reserve is situated on the banks of the river Kabini and is spread over a vast area of thick dense forestland, steep valleys, and water bodies.
Kabini, the river that originates from the hills of Kerala and confluences with the mighty Kaveri, has a large and beautiful backwater created by the Kabini Dam. The river which has virtually transformed itself into a huge, tranquil lake is surrounded by lush green forests on one side and villages on the other. The biggest attraction of Kabini is the closeness to the unspoilt nature. Sandwiched between two reserve forests - Nagarhole and Bandipur - Kabini offers the richest wildlife habitats in the state. It is home for the Asian elephant, gaur, sambar, cheetal (deer), bison, wild boar, sloth bear, tiger, leopard and wild dogs. For bird lovers Kabini offers a wide variety of birds that feast on fishes from the river. A good sighting of animals and birds complements the back-to-nature vacation at Kabini as the fresh air and the purity of nature rejuvenates your body and soul.
A coracle ride in the river or an early morning walk when there is chill in the air and mist rising from the river, creates an ambiance that bonds well with the vacation mood.
The main activity here is wildlife sightings by safaris on open-top jeeps and a boatride on the river. The first ride into the Park is at the crack of dawn and again in the evening. On a boat ride on the River Kabini, you could see elephants congregating on the banks to drink or play in water. You can choose between the traditional, circular boat (made of bamboo and buffalo hide) and the regular motorboat for the river cruise.
