Situated on the banks of the Kaveri, Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary is located near Mysore in Karnataka. The six isles on the river are also part of the sanctuary. The sanctuary was declared a bird sanctuary in 1940, when the noted ornithologist Dr Salim Ali while surveying the birds of the area put emphasis on declaring Ranganathittu a bird sanctuary. Since then, the sanctuary has become a paradise for bird watchers.
Every year a number of bird lovers throng the sanctuary to see the avian in-habitants of the sanctuary. The sanctuary is quite popular both among Indian and foreign tourists. Apart from home to native avian habitants, the sanctuary each year attracts a large number of migratory birds. Wildlife experts believe that migratory birds come to this sanctuary as far as from Siberia, Australia and even North America. [more about Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary...]

Many tales of valour and glory are tucked into the folds of the unassuming island town of Srirangapatna, former capital of one of the bravest sons of Karnataka. Maybe it's due to the guile of the beautiful Cauvery River that you tend to lap up every anecdote the guide narrates.
You tend to believe that the legendary sword of Tipu Sultan, housed within the State treasury, is sacred and no one dare touch it. And, if stones could speak, probably every tiny pebble on the banks of the Cauvery would make the English go red with reminiscences of Tipu's conquest over the 'Unconquerable Empire'. The lanes between the turfed outline of the Srirangapatna Fort bear touching memorials to the life of this unique king. [more about New Amblee Holiday Resort...]
