Ranganathittu

Bird Sanctuary...

This is an all-season picturesque preserve for a huge variety of birds. An early morning boat ride is a great way to watch birds here. The Sanctuary is situated about 5 kms upstream from Srirangapatna, where the Cauvery River flows around it. The river Cauvery is quite wide here with three rocky islands which provide an ideal habitat for water birds. One of these is well wooded and attracts a large number of visitors to watch storks, ibis, egrets, spoon bills and cormorants. Best season is June to November.
