Bankapur Peacock Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Haveri District, Karnataka, India.
The sanctuary extends across 139 acres within Bankapura Fort, featuring deep trenches and high mounds that create natural habitats for peafowl populations.
Established on June 9, 2006, the sanctuary originated from a cattle breeding farm founded in 1919 following the First World War.
More than 1,000 peacocks and peahens roam freely in this protected area, displaying their natural behaviors across the 4-kilometer sanctuary grounds.
Visitors can access the sanctuary through Haveri, located 22 kilometers away, with October to April offering the best observation conditions.
The sanctuary maintains 90 acres dedicated to growing special fodder for Khillari cattle, which creates an optimal environment for peafowl breeding.
