Bandipur National Reserve is a tiger reserve located in Karnataka. The reserve is also very famous because it has the second-highest tiger population in India. Initially, it was considered to be the hunting reserve for the Maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore which was then transformed into a national park. It covers a total area of 874 square kilometres and is home to some of  India's endangered wildlife species. It is located in Gundlupet taluq of Chamarajanagar district which is just an hour away from Mysore. Thus, it acts as a major tourist attraction for that region.
