Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary, Nature reserve in Udupi district, India

The sanctuary extends across 370 square kilometers of evergreen, semi-evergreen, and moist deciduous forests within the Western Ghats mountain range.

Karnataka's government established this sanctuary in 1974, later expanding its territory to include Abbigudde, Baregundi, and Kodachadri reserve forests in 1978.

The sanctuary takes its name from Goddess Mookambika, whose temple stands within the protected area near the town of Kollur.

The reserve welcomes visitors from September through April, with entry through Kundapur town, located 35 kilometers from the sanctuary entrance.

Rivers Chakra and Souparnika flow through the sanctuary, creating habitats for endangered cane turtles and numerous species of butterflies.
