Indian Safari by Jeep and Boat

Posted bykmeyerk18Posted inindia, TravelTags:,

We were fortunate to squeeze in short safaris in Nagarhole National Park located near Mysore. Nagorhole is a tiger reserve and has a narrow two-lane highway that runs through it. The safari takes off on dedicated safari roads that run out from each side of the highway.

We were fortunate to see many animals on an evening drive before the rain came in. The rain didn’t keep us from seeing animals but wasn’t good for photos.

We went again the next morning after an all night rain and we got what we laughingly called “The Peacock Tour”. We saw about a hundred(maybe a slight exaggeration) Peacocks.

The national bird of India.
We saw lots of babies!
Indian elephants have much smaller ears than African elephants.
Big groups of Spotted Deer. Lots of big buck and young ones.
Well camouflaged.
India croc on a river boat tour. We also saw a very large tiger in the water. They cool off and digest laying in the water.
Indian Bison on our rainy ride.
And of course the Bengal Tiger! This young female hung out for a long time and gave us many photo opps.

  5. Wow! How wonderful to see so many animals! And tigers too! Very cool! Hey, if you have a couple of days in Trivandrum get some clothes made. There are hundreds of tailor shops and the cost of getting clothes made is super affordable!
