Sharavathi Valley Wildlife Sanctuary
Sharavathi Valley Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected evergreen forest area spread across Shivamogga and Uttara Kannada districts near Sagara in Karnataka. Established in 1972, it covers about 431 sq km along the Sharavathi River valley and surrounds the Linganamakki Reservoir. Known for dense Western Ghats forests, it shelters lion-tailed macaques, spotted deer, and diverse birds. Its proximity to Jog Falls and pristine riverine landscape makes it notable for nature and wildlife tourism.
