The exotic colorful birds, splendid flora varieties and numerous species of fauna constitute the Karnataka's greens and wildlife sanctuaries that accommodate thousands of mammals, birds, reptiles and insects including those that belong to several endangered species. Endowed with resplendent blessings of Nature, the sublime, solemn and spellbinding yet dangerous beauty of Karnataka challenges one to venture further and deeper into the woods. The large forest tracts south of the Vindhyas and the vast forests of South Karnataka are just the tight place to experience Nature in its true form. Most of the wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka are situated of the foot of Western Ghats, making the sanctuaries splendidly picturesque as well. These parks were once the hunting ground of the kings but with the help of government, they are now protected areas. Parks like Nagarhole National Park and Bandipur National park have seen a regular increase in the number of animals here.
