If you’re working on a list of Kabini tourist places, make sure Kabini Backwater ViewPoint is among the top sights, because one visit here and you’ve seen Kabini in all its glory! As you row gently over the backwaters you’ll first spot submerged trees with birds perched and chirping on the branches. As the sun sets, these birds fly in flocks, back home, which is indeed a unique and delightful sight to behold. From the viewpoint, you can see the eye-pleasing backdrop of the mountains, and the animals strolling along, stopping by the banks of the river for a drink. As the name suggests, it is simply a viewpoint which showcases Mother Earth’s abundant allure, but if you’re looking for tranquility, both around and within, this is the perfect place to find it!

The places to visit in Kabini may be few, but every tourist spot stands out, emerging prettier than the other. The Jungle Safari that offers a view of rare fauna and exotic flora is one such spot which is a must-visit! Species are allowed to roam here in their natural habitat while you admire their majestic magnificence from a Jeep that keeps you at a safe distance from the wildlife. Commonly seen here are bears, elephants, tigers, deer, gaurs, lions, the rare sambar, and the rarest of them all, the bison. The best time to head out for a Jungle Safari is the dry season between October and June when the animals wander freely through the wilderness.Price: Rs. 150Timings: Jeep safari: 5:30 am to 10:00 am and 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm               Bus safari: 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
