<p>Anshi tiger reserve is a small park spread over 250 sq km and together with Dandeli wildlife sanctuary, the reserve is about 875 sq.km in area. <br /><br /></p>.<p> The forest is dense which makes it an ideal ground for wildlife to live in peace. The best time to visit is October to May. <br /><br />Some of the activities that could be undertaken are: jungle walk, bird watching, and safari in the forest. Home stay and nature camp facilities are available near the wildlife sanctuary which could arrange various eco-friendly related activities besides providing room, food and transport. <br /><br />Safari inside a wildlife sanctuary is always an exciting adventure. We came across wild boar, deer of various types and a variety of birds, peacock, Jungle fowl and Malabar hornbill. <br /><br />The presence of many anthills indicates that the park has several species of snakes from King cobra to pythons. The forests provide a thick green cover supporting teak, bamboo, eucalyptus, silver oak to name a few. It is rich in biodiversity. <br /><br />Water holes provide the much needed water for the wildlife as well as aquatic animals, birds and plants. A point, named S R Bhagwat <br /><br />Sunset Point, is a lovely spot to get a commanding view of the forests and the hills. Reddish-coloured rocks indicate the presence of iron ore, which suggests mining was done earlier before the wildlife park came into existence. <br /><br />It is interesting to note the presence of a small village near the entrance where villagers live in harmony with nature. Some of them are assigned work related to the upkeep of the forest.<br /><br /></p>
