Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary in Karnataka : It’s nestled in the lofty hills of the Western Ghats. Kallahathigiri, the highest peak (1875 m) of the sanctuary, towers over the whole area. The perennial river Bhadra slithers through the terrains, and thus the name of the sanctuary. There is a popular local saying, “If the bamboo swings to the voice of the wind and the tiger wanders with gaiety, then it must be Jagara Valley.” Jagara is a village located near the sanctuary. The forests types are southern dry, mixed deciduous forests, southern moist, mixed deciduous forests and western sub tropical hill forests. The eastern part of the sanctuary is dominated by evergreen shoal forests. The vegetation is predominantly of dry deciduous scrub forests.
