One of the last remaining and best protected habitats for endangered species like tiger and elephant, Nagarhole is situated in 2 districts in the state of Karnataka. The name is derived from the local language, Kannada. Nagara means cobra and Hole means river. It refers to the river that flows eastwards from the centre. The park was originally constituted into sanctuary in 1955 with an area of 258 sq kms. It was then extended subsequently to around 644 sq kms, hence acquiring the status of national park.
