Destinations: Bangalore → Chikkamagaluru → Nagarahole Tiger Reserve → Wayanad → Kochi
The source’s Southern Wildlife route runs Bengaluru–Chikkamagaluru–Shivamogga–Nagarahole–Wayanad–Kochi. The current Anandam route deliberately removes Shivamogga while retaining the same 9D/8N duration, giving more time to Chikkamagaluru, Nagarahole and Wayanad. The wildlife stay is planned with shared safaris according to permit availability rather than the source’s private-boat-safari wording.
