Mysuru: Keeping in mind the safety of people going for safari at the Bandipur Tiger Reserve and to facilitate the smooth movement of safari vehicles, the Forest Department has proposed to widen the safari routes by 20 metres from the existing 10 metres.
This move is to prevent wild animals from attacking the safari vehicles especially the smaller vehicles. The Tiger Reserve has a safari track of 256 kms and this has been created to promote nature tourism. However, tourists are taken only in 68-km safari track as the other tracks come inside the core area and entry of vehicles there will disturb the fauna.
