Biligiriranga Hills, Nature reserve and mountain range in Chamarajanagar, India
The Biligiriranga Hills stretch between Western and Eastern Ghats, featuring varied ecosystems from dry deciduous forests to evergreen landscapes across 540 square kilometers.
The Karnataka government established this area as a tiger reserve in 2011, expanding the previous wildlife sanctuary that was created in 1974.
The Soliga tribe maintains their traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle within these forested hills, contributing to the preservation of local customs and knowledge.
Visitors can access the hills through Yelandur or Chamarajanagar, with the nearest major city Mysore located 90 kilometers from the reserve.
The sanctuary contains 800 plant species and provides habitats for 254 bird species, including the rare white-winged tit population of southern India.
