Nugu Wildlife Sanctuary
Nugu Wildlife Sanctuary, situated north of Bandipur National Park in Mysuru district, Karnataka, covers around 30 square kilometers. It centers around the Nugu Reservoir, built across the Nugu River, a tributary of the Cauvery. The sanctuary features dry deciduous forests rich with diverse flora such as Dipterocarpus indicus and Calophyllum tomentosum.
It provides habitat for a variety of wildlife including elephants, tigers, leopards, spotted deer, sambars, wild pigs, and jungle cats, along with smaller mammals and several bird species. The sanctuary is ecologically important due to its dense elephant population and is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. With moderate rainfall and mixed forest types, it serves as a critical conservation area.
The sanctuary is largely closed to tourism, which helps protect its fragile ecosystem from disturbances, but it remains a vital natural habitat within Karnataka's network of wildlife reserves.
