Jungle Inn -

Nagarahole used to be the private hunting grounds of the Maharaja of Mysore and was converted to a 285 sq kms. wildlife sanctuary in 1955. It was expanded and achieved National Park status in 1983. The average elevation is between 800m and 850m with the highest point being Masalbetta Peak at 957m and the lowest being on the banks of the Kabini River at 701m. The forest cover is primarily tropical moist deciduous, dry deciduous and tropical semi evergreen with scrub brush and grassy swamplands. Teak trees and rosewood trees are abundant here. The forest around the northern part of the park where Jungle Inn is located is moist deciduous due to the higher rainfall in this area. The trees are tall and the forest is dense with the occasional open grassy swamps, locally known as hadlus. Nagarahole, meaning cobra river, is watered by several perennial and seasonal rivers including the Kabini River, a tributary of the Cauvery River, the Nagarahole River from which it derives its name, the Taraka River, the Lakshmanateertha River, the Hebballa River and the Sarathi River.
