B.R. Hills Day Trip from Mysore (2026): Wildlife Sanctuary & Temple Trek Guide
Rising dramatically where the jagged granite of the Eastern Ghats merges into the rainforest spine of the Western Ghats, the Biligirirangana Hills (White Hills) form one of Karnataka’s most biologically diverse ecological havens. The reserve is home to over 60 tigers, 1,000+ wild Asian elephants, leopards, gaurs, and 250 species of birds.
For centuries, the indigenous Soliga tribe has coexisted peacefully with the forest predators, practicing sustainable harvesting of wild forest honey, amla (gooseberry), and medicinal roots.
Biligiriranga Temple & Forest Safari Gates
The temple stands atop a sheer 400-foot precipice offering breathtaking vistas over uninterrupted ocean-like canopies of deciduous and evergreen forest.
Frequently Asked Questions
