Established in 1974, Bandipur is part of the Tiger Reserves' project with a decent tiger population, and is well known for its protected sandalwood trees and beautiful vegetation, under the canopy of the Western Ghats mountains. Within the park, the Kabini reservoir provides a water facility and the grazing ground for hundreds of elephants during the severe and prolonged dry season.
