💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book your safari and accommodation during weekdays (Tuesday-Thursday) to get 20-30% discounts compared to weekend rates, and visit during June-September monsoon season for lowest prices, though wildlife sightings are fewer.
📅 October to May is ideal for visiting Bhadra, with November to February offering the best wildlife sightings and comfortable weather. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) as heavy rains make trekking difficult and wildlife spotting becomes challenging.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa as Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary is located within Karnataka, India. Simply carry your valid ID proof like Aadhar or PAN card.
