Turahalli forest, located just 25 km from Bannerghatta National Park, is an elephant corridor connecting Bannerghatta, Savandurga, Magadi and Kengeri.
The Turahalli forests in Bangalore are in news again, this time for eco-tourism. The Karnataka Tourism Vision Group (KTVG) wants access to this State forest to promote tourism. But conservationists oppose the idea, fearing it will lead to commercial exploitation of the patch.
