Bangalore to Kabini by Cab — Why It Works
Bangalore to Kabini is a straight wildlife run: leave the city, pass Mysore, and enter the dry deciduous forests of Hunsur before reaching the backwater edge of Nagarhole. The drive is as much a safari preview as a transfer — langurs and spotted deer are common roadside sightings after Hunsur, and the air turns noticeably wilder as you approach the Kabini lodges.

Driving Tips
- Leave Bangalore by 6 am to reach Kabini for lunch and an evening safari.
- If combining with Mysore Palace, do the palace on the way — not the return, when you will be tired.
- Fuel up at Hunsur — there are no petrol pumps inside the forest belt.
- Kabini lodges are spread out; confirm whether you are staying on the Karapura side or the Kabini River side.
