Kakanakote, Wildlife park in Karnataka, India
The Kakanakote wildlife park spans across 643 square kilometers of deciduous forests, evergreen forests, and grasslands within the Nagarahole Tiger Reserve.
The area served as a private hunting ground for Mysore Maharajas before its designation as a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and national park status in 1988.
The forest received its name from Kaka Nayaka, a leader of the local Kuruba community, whom the Maharaja of Mysore recognized for his leadership.
Visitors can access the park through organized safaris from October to May, with advanced online booking required and entry prohibited between 6 PM and 6 AM.
The park features numerous waterways, including the Kabini River, which forms a natural boundary between Nagarahole and Bandipur National Park.
