Quite literally in Bangalore’s backyard, Bandipur is the place to be if you want to see the majestic creature. Close enough to keep trying your luck as well, the neighbouring Mudhumalai, Wayanad and Nagarhole combine to make this the biggest biosphere reserve. With the last count at about 570 tigers in the area, the odds are well in your favour. And the best part? This one is open through the year.
When to visit: March to October
Closest airport: Bangalore {270 kms}
