Begin your journey with a safari at Bandipur National Park, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Explore the park in a jeep safari and spot diverse animals like tigers, elephants, and leopards. You can also take a guided nature walk and birdwatch in this lush forest before heading to Kabini.
After a hearty breakfast, drive to Kabini Dam and take a boat ride on the Kabini river. Spot elephants and crocodiles sunbathing on the banks of the river and keep an eye out for colorful birds. Enjoy the natural beauty and serenity of this picturesque region before retiring at a nearby resort.
Head to the Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary and enjoy a jungle trek in the rainforest. Spot giant squirrels, black panthers, and many species of birds. Go on a river rafting adventure, rappelling, or zipline for an adrenaline rush. End the day with a bonfire and camping under a starry night sky.
Drive to Karwar and spend the day soaking up the sun and playing in the water at beautiful beaches like Devbagh Beach, Rabindranath Tagore Beach, and Kurumgad Island Beach. You can also indulge in water activities like kayaking, jet-skiing, and parasailing or take a ferry ride to see dolphins and the Karwar port.
If you have more time, you can visit the nearby Nagarhole National Park or the Jog Falls. If you have less time, you can skip Kabini and spend two days at Bandipur for a more immersive wildlife experience.
