Nagarhole National Park or Rajiv Gandi National Park
Route - Its around 210 kilometers from Bangalore, take the Mysore road --> Maddur --> take right soon after Srirangapatana, the root goes to coorg --> Hunsur road --> Nagarhole.
Wild Wild Wild that's the best way to describe this place, you just cant miss going out there and staying there a couple of days and take 2-3 safari trips to the forest. First don't compare this to Bannnerghatta National park in Bangalore where you find animal in cages or fenced boundaries, there is no fencing it is just wild forest every where.
Safari is in 2 batches, 6-9 AM and 3-6 PM(Check for changes), that's the time when animal come out to drink water and they take you near the bank of the river Kabini, safari in the forest is for about 2 hours, not sure on that because I stayed in Jungle lodges resort and they used to take us for couple of hours.
They take you into the forest (Jeep Safari), you can very well see deers everywhere in fact they are to many, when enquired bout the same, we were told it was to keep the grass level low, so we get a clear view of the animals. Wild elephants are quite a lot, well you are in wild forest and there will be some risks, the authorities make sure to maintain some distance from elephants there have been incidents in the past of they attacking sometimes.
So here comes the best part spotting tiger in wild, can you imagine that just amazing, you are in the middle of a forest, its not easy to find them and if you can get a view of them in your safari, your trip was worth, you also have leopards, sloth bear, giant squirrel.
Its one of the adventure thing you don't want to miss in your life, the forest department authorities exactly know which area tigers move around a lot, at the end you should be lucky to spot them, i would recommend best go for Jungle lodges resort, stay there for couple of days, they take you on a safari both in morning and evening, you also have boat safari, elephant safari if elephants are available.
Its touch expensive 3,200(Check prices now) for wildlife package, it includes everything breakfast, lunch, dinner safari everything so you don't have spend anything above that.
Best time, as expected its summer, all the animal have to come near the river banks for water, so the chances of sighting animals is more.
Note : All the above points were made with respect to the experience I had staying in Jungle lodges resort run by the forest department there, where we go in an open jeep, so just 7 people along with the guide who make sure our safari is the best.

Just FYI..
When I went to this place our tour guide told us not to expect tigers/leopards etc on the trip and to keep expectations low. In his last 10 years he had seen a tiger only 3 times! When I heard that I wondered whether he had actually seen them or hallucinated.
I am curious with the place. I wish to visit that soon.
