Situated
at a height of 5,091 feet, B.R Hills Wildlife Sanctuary is a unique
blend of resort and wildlife sanctuary, a
must
for wildlife lovers. The B.R Wildlife sanctuary is 3,375 ft above sea
level and is spread over an area of 540 sq. kms of undulating hills and
valleys covered in deciduous forests and Sholas.
This sanctuary
is an important link between the eastern & western ghats. The river
Cauvery flows South East and at Kollegal takes an abrupt turn towards
the North and again returns to its initial course. This reflects the
geographic significance as well as the wonderful blend of the Biligiri
Rangaswamy and Male Mahadeshwar ranges, bridging the gap between the
Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats.
Gaurs, chitals, sambhars,
bears, elephants, panthers and tigers inhabit the place in large
numbers. B.R Hills Wildlife Sanctuary is teeming with varied flora and
fauna.
