Rajiv Gandhi National Park (Nagarahole): The Nagarahole Game Sanctuary is one of the most well-maintained game parks in India.

Coorg or Kodagu: The tiny district in the state of Karnataka is an astonishing land in the heart of the southern Indian peninsula. It is bordered by Dakshina Kannada to the northwest, Hassan District to the north, Mysore District to the east, Kannur District of Kerala state to the southwest and Wayanad district of Kerala to the south. The district headquarters is located at Madikeri. The lowest elevation is 900m above sea-level. The highest peak, Tadiandamol, has an altitude of 1,750m; Pushpagiri is 1,715m high.

Best time to Visit Coorg: Coorg is a tourist paradise for nature lovers. No doubt, it has been often called the Kashmir of the south. November to May are the ideal months to visit Coorg when the weather is pleasant. The South-West monsoon sets over the hills in June and the monsoon lasts for three to four months.
