Arabithittu Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Mysore, India

Arabithittu Wildlife Sanctuary covers 13.5 square kilometers of land containing eucalyptus plantations, sandalwood trees, and scrub forests in Karnataka state.

The Karnataka government established this protected area on April 30, 1985, transforming the former Arabithittu Game Reserve into a wildlife sanctuary.

Local communities near the sanctuary participate in conservation initiatives while maintaining traditional agricultural practices in the surrounding fields.

The sanctuary remains accessible through regular bus services from Mysore to K R Nagar, with winter months from December to February offering optimal visiting conditions.

The Defense Research Development Organization installed a chain link system that marks the entire boundary of this protected natural area.
