Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Uttara Kannada District, India
The sanctuary extends across 866 square kilometers of deciduous forests, featuring extensive bamboo groves and teak plantations along the Kali River.
The protected area transformed into a tiger reserve in 2006 when authorities combined it with the neighboring Anshi National Park.
Local narratives connect the sanctuary name to historical figures, including a deity named Dandelappa and a regional king called Dandakanayaka.
The sanctuary provides opportunities for wildlife observation through guided tours, nature walks, and boat rides along the Kali River.
This reserve contains the highest number of black panther sightings among all tiger reserves in India, making it a notable location for leopard research.
