Nagarhole National Park in November
Karnataka, India
Nagarhole National Park in November is when the reserve turns the corner. Northeast monsoon overspill eases to under 90mm across 5-7 wet days, almost all in the first 10 days. Daytime 24-28C, nights 16-18C, humidity dropping toward 65 percent. Bengal Tiger sighting odds 1-in-20 safaris (climbing toward 1-in-15 by February). Asiatic Elephant herd encounters 4-6 per safari batch — the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve 800-1,000 strong population returning to predictable Kabini-fringe patterns. Indian Gaur, Sambar Deer, Spotted Deer, Wild Dog (dhole) packs, Sloth Bear, Leopard at clean post-monsoon visibility. Black Panther — Nagarhole-Kabini documented habitat (the famous Saaya black panther, extensively photographed through 2010s-2020s by Shaaz Jung and others) — sighting odds climbing. Karnataka Forest Department safaris (bus ₹600/person, jeep ₹2,200-2,500/person at Karapur and Anechowkur gates, 6.30-9am and 3-6pm batches) at full operational tempo. Kabini boat safaris on full schedule. Karnataka Rajyotsava (November 1) brings a 1-day domestic bump.
