Nagarhole used to be the private hunting grounds of the Maharaja of Mysore and was converted to a 285 sq kms Wildlife sanctuary in 1955. It was expanded and achieved National Park status in 1983. Nagarhole is around 220 kms from Bangalore and takes about 4 hours by road but the journey is worth when you experience the wildlife from such close quarters.Among the favorite sightings are those of wild Asian elephants, Gaur (Indian bison) - the largest wild oxen in the world, spotted deer, barking deer, mouse deer, Sambar, sloth-bears, marsh crocodiles, otters, dhole or Indian wild dogs, leopards and tigers. Interestingly, the mouse deer, found only in Sri Lanka and South India, is a solitary nocturnal animal that kills and eats other small animals.
The best time to view the animals is during the heat of March and April, when the waterholes are dry and the animals come out and visit the lake. However, the weather is more pleasant from September to February.
