Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary

About Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary

Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary lies close to Srirangapatna, a historically significant town in the Mysuru Region. Set along the Cauvery River, the sanctuary comprises a series of small islands and shallow waterways that provide shelter and nesting habitat for a wide variety of bird species. Visitors typically explore the sanctuary by boat, drifting quietly past riverine vegetation where birds nest, roost and feed with little disturbance. Crocodiles are commonly spotted basking on the banks, adding an extra dimension to any visit. The sanctuary is particularly rewarding during the nesting season, when colonies gather in considerable numbers. Birdwatchers, naturalists and families all find something of interest here, and the relatively compact site makes it accessible without requiring a full day's commitment.
