1) Budget for 3-and-a-half hours drive for onward journey. This is assuming you will start early morning, drive non-stop and cross Mysore-Nanjangud before peak-timings in the stretch. 2) Since you drove non-stop till Bandipur, a good choice for breakfast could be Bandipur Plaza just before you enter the forest-area 3) The forest office that arranges Safari, Elephant ride and also a mini-musuem opens around 9 AM, I think. Even if you opt out of Safari & Elephant ride, please spend a few minutes to enjoy the exhibits in the museum (dont know a better word for the place/buiding) 4) Budget for 4-hours on your return. The incoming traffic to Bangalore will be high anytime and also you may need to break for dinner in between. If you are just driving inside the forest area, drive till the very end past the Masinagudi turn-off upto Hotel Harithagiri which comes on your right just at the exit of WLS. You can break for tea+snacks and perhaps make some shopping there. | |

1) it is a huge forest and most of the areas (tiger territories) are not accessible/open to safaris - Please correct me if i am wrong 2) huge undergrowth actually makes it impossible to look at great distances and tiger could be hiding anywhere in the bushes | |

One of my friends, who took part in the tiger census in Jan 2010 narrated an experience of a couple of his colleagues. The two guys were alloted to Maleyoor Range of Bandipur Tiger Reserve. For 3 days, they walked through the forest while doing the census and didn't find anything apart from deer (they found scat, pugmarks etc but not the tiger). After the 3rd day, they got on to a bus to get back home, disappointed for not seeing the tiger. Imagine their luck, when the bus moved a few hundred meters from the village, they see a huge tiger crossing the road. These guys scoured the forest for three days and did not find anything, but they see a tiger on a public road while sitting in a KSRTC bus  .In the end, it all depends on luck  | |
