The ideal time to visit Nagarhole is between October and May. Post-monsoon months (October-November) offer lush green landscapes and active wildlife. Winter (December-February) provides pleasant weather with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making wildlife spotting comfortable. Summer months (March-May) offer excellent wildlife sightings as animals frequently visit water bodies to quench their thirst. The park remains closed during peak monsoon (July-September) as heavy rainfall makes trails inaccessible and reduces visibility significantly.

A minimum of 2-3 days is recommended for a fulfilling experience at Nagarhole National Park. This duration allows for 3-4 safari sessions, maximizing your chances of diverse wildlife sightings. If you’re combining your visit with nearby attractions like Mysore, Coorg, or Bandipur, a 5-7 day itinerary would be ideal. Our Nagarhole National Park Tour Packages can be customized based on your time constraints and interests, ensuring you experience the essence of this magnificent wilderness even on shorter visits.

Nagarhole offers two primary safari experiences – jeep safaris and boat safaris. The jeep safaris take place during early mornings and late afternoons when wildlife is most active.
