Biligiriranga Hills
Biligiriranga Hills, also known as BR Hills, are a scenic hill range located in the Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka, near the border with Tamil Nadu. These hills form a unique bio-geographic bridge between the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, supporting diverse flora and fauna from both mountain ranges.
The area includes the Biligiriranganatha Swamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected reserve and tiger reserve since 2011, known for its rich wildlife such as elephants, tigers, leopards, and many bird species. The hills rise to about 1,800 meters at their highest peak, Kattari Betta, and offer various activities including trekking, wildlife safaris, and birdwatching.
The sanctuary and hills are also culturally significant due to the ancient Biligiriranganatha Swamy temple situated on a prominent white rock face, with the name "Biligiri" meaning "white hill" in Kannada. This blend of natural beauty, wildlife diversity, and spiritual heritage makes Biligiriranga Hills a notable destination in southern Karnataka.
