Tip from tour guide

If you're planning to book a homestay in Masinagudi to be close to Bandipur Tiger Reserve and National Park, my recommendation is that you go with enthusiasm and the hope of spotting a tiger or cheetah in the forest during a jeep safari in the national park. It's a matter of luck to see them. Normally, these wild animals are shy around people and won't come near when the safari jeep is moving.

During the monsoons, there is greenery everywhere, making it hard to find tigers or leopards since there is plenty of food and water available. However, when the greenery vanishes and everything becomes dry, tigers and leopards come in search of water.

In my entire career, I have never encountered a tiger or leopard. Cheetahs and tigers can be spotted during a jeep safari, but one needs to be really lucky.
