When the theme is “Wild Life’, in Karnataka, the first thought that runs in the mind is Kabini or Nagarhole National Park. With dense vegetation and a perfect cover for various forms of wild life it is a delight to spend some quality time in the lap of nature.
The question now arises, is Kabini and Nagarhole National Park one and the same? The short answer is YES. Kabini is an area which lies to the South of the Nagarhole Tiger reserve and national park, abutting the State boundary of Kerala.
The landmark surrounding the Kabini River Lodge and the Kabini dam is very often referred to as Kabini.
In contrast, Nagarhole is a derivative of two local words “Naga” which means a serpent and “Hole” which refers to a stream and thus the name came into existence.
Nagarhole National Park, is also referred to as Rajiv Gandhi National Park, and for a visitor it becomes easier to assimilate information when the words are used interchangeably. However, there is a subtle difference when we talk of Kabini and Nagarhole, which is given below.
In Kabini, approximately 1/4th in terms of area is thrown open to visitors to witness wildlife. Approximately 1/3rd is open for visitors. The scenic beauty in both the locations is picturesque.
Visitors can go any time of the year to enjoy wildlife in this part of Karnataka. For the traveller, a bit of planning for the wild life tour, it will greatly enhance the joy of being amongst wilderness. Of course, per se, Kabini is a bit expensive and the reason is certainly justifiable.
Most resorts in the Kabini backwaters are located, either on the river banks or in close proximity where a river view is guaranteed. With wooded surroundings interspersed with thick vegetation the entire place is certainly mesmerising.
Kabini has the advantage of one land safari and one river safari. This option allows visitors to see animals in the wilderness from the safety of motor boats. The resorts in Kabini are top class and truly exquisite.
However, when we talk of staying in other parts of Nagarhole, the resorts in that area offer only 2 land safaris. Therefore, Kabini commands a premium and tourists should be very conscious of their budget when planning a holiday, and choosing Kabini or Nagarhole.
