Wildlife and natural parks in Karnataka

Here's a list of some of the the wildlife related things you can do in Karnataka.

We are going to Jungle Lodges later this week. Jungle Lodges is a Karnataka goverment enterprise that runs a number of resorts all over Karnataka. They are all supposed to be pretty good, the tarrifs are a bit steep (1650-2500 Rs./day/person), especially if you're on a budget.

I also found this fairly vague site run by the Karnataka forest department that has a ton of information on all the forest areas in Karnataka that you can go to for treks. The only problem is that the site is short on detials of how you can go about this. They do have a lot of information for birdwatchers.

There seem to be a number of resorts around Bandipur and BR Hills that offer both a place to stay and safaris into the parks. I found two such resorts - Bushbetta and Tusker Trails.
