About Bandipur Wildlife Sanctuary in Bandipur
Bandipur Wildlife

History tells us that this wildlife sanctuary in Karnataka’s Bandipur, became one of the first Tiger Reserves in India especially established under Project Tiger. This sanctuary was originally created in the 1930s by carving out a piece of land from the local hunting lands of Maharaja Voodiyar. Though it was then named Venugopal Wildlife Park, it was expanded later in 1941.
