About the Hornbill Festival Dandeli 2024

Dandeli is also home to four species of hornbills, including the largest in India - the Great Pied Hornbill. Its the only forest where the largest - Great Pied, and the smallest variety of hornbill - Malabar grey hornbill, are found in the same place. When B S Yeddyurappa was the CM, 100 sq km area along Kali River between Dandeli and Ganeshgudi has been declared as Hornbill Reserve, one of its kind in the entire world where hornbills exist. There are 54 species of hornbill recorded in the world and India has nine species. Karnataka has four of them.

The experts point out that over the last few years, the population of hornbills has increased, but the dependent trees are diminishing in some parts of the forest.
