Kabini River - Premier Wildlife & Safari Destination

The Kabini River, a major tributary of the Cauvery, flows through the southern part of Karnataka, forming a large reservoir that separates Nagarhole and Bandipur National Parks. The area is defined by the vast, open backwaters of the Kabini Dam, where the forest meets the water, creating a unique ecosystem. Visitors primarily experience the river through guided safaris, either by boat on the reservoir or in jeeps along its banks. The landscape is a mix of moist deciduous forest and expansive grasslands that get submerged during the monsoon.
