Ranganathittu is about 18km form Mysore and is home to some of the most exotic birds. It is a group of small islands in the Cauvery River
 |
It is said that the sanctuary is a sight to behold during the nesting season of the birds from June to November |
 |
The sanctuary is home to a wide species of birds including cormorants, darters, white ibis, spoon billed storks, open billed storks, painted storks, white necked storks, egrets, herons, terns, swallows, kingfishers, sandpiper etc |
 |
Birds supposedly come from as far away as Siberia and Australia during migratory season. Vast colonies of birds make this an ideal destination for one to observe various bird behaviors. Time flies by as one observes these amazing creations in their natural habitat |
 |
As can be seen in the pictures, Ranganthittu is a fabulous get away for the whole family. A great way to educate children about nature and wildlife preservation |
Good time to visit would be early in the morning or in the evening hours.

It is a very small sanctuary, comprises six islets on the banks of the Kaveri River
Ranger-guided boat tours of the islands are available throughout the day, and are a good way to watch birds, crocodiles, otters and bats
