Bandipur Safari Lodge

In 1974, the Bandipur was declared a National Park under the Wildlife Protection Act. The Bandipur National Park is one of its own kind in Asia as it has huge elephant herds. The highest density of Indian tigers is found here, as are a fifth of the world's Asiatic Elephant population. In fact, about 5000 wild elephants roam these jungles.
