Nagarhole National Park

Information about Nagarhole National Park

Nagarhole National Park, Karnataka

The Nagarhole National Park is situated in the picturesque districts of Kodagu and Mysore in southern Karnataka. The word "Nagarhole" is made of the combination of two words Nagar and Hole. Nagar means snake and hole means streams and so various streams snake through the rich tropical forests of Nagarhole National Park. The Nagarhole National Park was first established in 1955. In 1975, its area was increased to include a greater area of forest reserve. Earlier, this park was an exclusive hunting preserve of the erstwhile rulers of Mysore. The terrain of this park is gently undulating with lush green vegetation, swamps and numerous water resources, and provides an ideal habitat for a wide variety of wildlife.
