Wildlife Tours in Mysore

Immersing ourselves into wildlife can show us a different side of nature, one that is undomesticated by man and roams freely amidst lush beauty, away from the noise and pollution of urban settlements. To spot an animal in the wild requires a lot of patience and can be meditative in its own way, sharpening your sense of focus as you wait eagerly for a creature to saunter into view. Often when we go wildlife watching, we might not catch sight of any of the forest wildlife and this is part of the magic, motivating you to go back again and again.  

You might think wildlife tours in Mysore is limited to the magnificent Sri. Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, but there’s plenty to explore in and around the city that will keep your love for wildlife buzzing. It’s no surprise that wildlife is best found away from the city, in the quiet havens of towering trees, shrubs and open blue skies, so hop into your car and head to the beautiful Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary filled with vibrantly coloured species of birds or Nagarhole National Park where you can find different types of deer and the glorious Indian Tiger.  

Wildlife tours in Mysore aren’t complete without a stop at Sri. Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens which is one of the oldest zoos in India. Mysore’s iconic zoo is home to a variety of indigenous and exotic amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. The zoo was created from the King’s private menagerie and has completed over a 100 years of existence so dropping by its spectacular enclosures is a must.  

Whether you go on a short drive around the city or walk through its zoo, the wildlife tours in Mysore will give you a satisfying glimpse into the bounty of Karnataka’s wildlife.
