Bedaguli Forest

Bedaguli Forest is a forested area surrounding Bedaguli village in Somwarpet taluk, Kodagu district, Karnataka, within the Western Ghats landscape. It lies near Shanivarasanthe and forms part of the contiguous forest belt linked to Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary. Characterized by evergreen and semi-evergreen vegetation, the forest supports diverse flora and fauna, offers quiet nature trails, and is visited for birdwatching, trekking and experiencing the undisturbed natural environment of central Kodagu.

Visitors can expect a dense, quiet forest environment with evergreen and semi-evergreen cover, shaded trails and natural vegetation typical of the Western Ghats. The area is largely undeveloped with no major built structures, offering opportunities for nature walks, birdwatching and photography. Access is via village roads from Somwarpet and Shanivarasanthe. The forest is part of a larger wildlife corridor, so sightings are limited to birds and small fauna, and the experience is focused on tranquil forest scenery rather than organized tourist facilities.
