Activities
|
|
The
K.Gudi Camp is located inside the Biligiri Rangana
Temple Wildlife Sanctuary and thus becomes the base
for the various wildlife expeditions into the Park.
Open topped jeep rides, with trained naturalists to
interpret the sightings, are the major attraction of
the camp. Trekking inside the Sanctuary is another
exciting activity that the camp offers its guests.
There are many well-marked trails leading out of the
camp, which offer various degrees of physical
challenge. Trekking offers a plethora of wildlife
viewing opportunities and bird watchers would be
delighted at the number of birds one can sight in
these trails. On a hilltop in the northwestern part of
the sanctuary, is the temple of Rangaswamy ( Lord
Vishnu), which has been a pilgrimage centre for over
500 Years. This is a popular spot with a
stunning view. Another site worth visiting is
the ancient Dodda Sampige Mara ( a large Michelia
Campaka tree), which is revered by the local soliga
tribe.
