Karnataka has
not only been rich with temples and shrines but its land has been full
of natural beauty as well. On one hand there are magnificent beaches
along the coastal line and on other hand there is widespread wealth of
fauna and flora across the state.
If you see
the lush green forests along the Western Ghats you would be mesmerized
by the adventures of nature. Forests are like a home to wild life and
to protect them from poaching and other problems, government has
created a large number of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
