Summary
Named after the Kabini river, the lowland deciduous and riverine forests of the location form the eastern fringes of the Nagarhole National Park. The Kabini river which forms a reservoir here, defines the eastern boundary of Nagarhole with Bandipur National Park, two of south India’s finest wildlife destinations and contiguous with several other protected areas of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (NBR).
Kabini is especially interesting within this large protected area network of the NBR, when hundreds of Asian elephants and much other wildlife, congregates around the reservoir during the dry season. Kabini’s flat terrain and the relatively open deciduous forests are very good for wildlife viewing and photography and megafauna, including Asian Elephant, Tiger, Leopard and Gaur are regularly sighted, all year round. Other notable wildlife that are often seen in Kabini include the pack hunting Indian wild dogs, sloth bear and several species of deer, primates and small mammals.
Birdlife is excellent, with over 250 species recorded from the location - including rarities such as the Malabar pied hornbill. Abundant fish life in the river also supports a healthy population of water birds - including fish eagles, storks, herons, terns and ducks - as well mugger crocodiles and otters.
