​Top 6 places in India to spot the elusive black panther​ – Kabini Forest, Karnataka

Sharavathi Valley, part of the central Western Ghats, is one of the least explored wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka. Famous for its scenic Jog Falls and dense, misty forests, the sanctuary harbors a rich biodiversity that includes rare orchids, amphibians, and elusive carnivores. Black Panthers have been sporadically reported here, and although sightings are extremely uncommon, the area’s untouched ecosystem provides ideal conditions for their survival. The absence of mass tourism and the lush, rugged terrain make Sharavathi a treasure for the serious wildlife tracker. Trekking and guided forest walks are popular here, often led by local experts who understand the lay of the land deeply.
