   o oră Intrarea inclusă

   A thrilling boat safari awaits us over the islets on the river Cauvery which form the bird sanctuary. From vibrant Painted Storks and graceful Spoonbills to industrious Openbill Storks and swift River Terns, the sanctuary is a vibrant collection of over 220 bird species, with migratory visitors from as far as Siberia adding to the spectacle, especially during the winter months (November to February). Beyond the birds, keep your eyes peeled for marsh crocodiles basking on the riverbanks and playful otters in the water, making every moment an adventure.
