Karnataka
Wildlife
( Biligiri )
120 Kms from Mysore & 247 Kms from Bangalore,
the Biligirirangana range of hills are picturesquely situated between
the Cauvery & the Tungabhadra rivers. At a height of 5,091 feet
above sea level, this hill stretches from north to south for about
16 Kms. All round are decidous trees. And roaming amidst the long
grass and tall trees are animals. Plenty of them! So if you're looking
for a cool time with a little bit of wild excitement thrown in,
welcome to B.R.Hills. Wake up to the chirping of birds & humming
of bees. Breathe in fresh, clean air. Take a stroll through the
sylvan surroundings. And let the cool breeze blow your cares away.
As
the day quietly slips into night, watch the stars come out, one
by one. The moon casts a silver light. And some where in the distance
you hear a tiger roar. How close you are to nature and how peaceful
life is here! you just imagine.
