SAGARESHWAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

The sanctuary boasts a mix of southern dry deciduous and thorn forests, with grassy hill slopes. Thanks to protection from grazing and forest fires, the area has seen good regeneration of dry deciduous species. Visitors can spot a variety of animals, including deer, wild boar, peacocks, foxes, and porcupines. The sanctuary is also home to a diverse range of insects, birds, and reptiles, including pythons and other snakes.

Tourism

The sanctuary is a must-visit destination for tourists, especially during the peak season from August to February. Hiking to the top of the hill is the most activity, offering breathtaking views of the Krishna River flowing through sugarcane and grapevine fields. The area is also home to several shrines to Shiva, built during the Chalukya dynasty, and the Krishna Valley Wine Park in Palus. Kundal, the region around Sangli, is a historical place and was once the capital of the Chalukyas.
