Photo and description

India has a wide variety of flora and fauna, and its beautiful landscapes have attracted the attention of people from all over the world for more than one hundred years. Therefore, the Indian government is trying in every possible way to preserve this wealth by creating reserves, national parks and protected areas. One of these places is the Someshwara Nature Reserve, which is located in the southern part of the country, in the Western Ghats. Although its area is very small - only a little more than 88 square kilometers, which are covered mainly with evergreens, its species diversity is striking. The reserve is home to a huge number of animals such as common langur, leopard, wild dog, sambar, jackal, axis, tiger and others. Of the reptiles there, you can often find a monitor lizard, a python and the royal cobra, sacred to the Hindus. Bird lovers in the reserve also have something to admire - Someshwara is home to such interesting species as the Malabar trogon and the Ceylon whiteleg (nightjar or frogmouth).

Also in the park, it is worth visiting the wonderful Onakabbi waterfall and Agumba peak, with which offers simply stunning views of the reserve.

There are thirteen villages on the territory of Someshwar, whose inhabitants mainly work in the cashew nut factories and rice mills located near the reserve.

The most a good time to visit Someshwar is from October to April. Although the reserve is quite easy to get to both from Bangalore city and from Mangalore, as the transport network is very well developed in that region, it is still quite isolated, and not many tourists visit it.
