Bilgiri Rangana Hills
At
a height of 5,091 ft., this resort is a must for wildlife lovers.
Dancing trees, whistling winds and swirling streams form a back drop to some
very rare animals - gaur, chital, sambar, bears, elephants, panthers, tigers…
And if you're looking for a place that is calm and peaceful, the
Biligirirangaswamy
Temples (from which the hill derives its name) is the right place,.
The serene surroundings, the soft reverberations of the bells and the songs
of the birds in the background at this complex are sure to rejuvenate your souls.
You may also find the Soligas, native tribes of this range, singing a sprightly
folk song or dancing to a brisk tune.
While on your visit, make sure you don't miss the Ratha festival, held during
'Vaishaka' in the month of April.
Best time to visit:
September - May
