More than 200 acres of land spread along the backwater of Manchinbelle dam, about 50 km from Bangalore, Karnatak, is being developed as a resort. This site is just adjacent to Savandurga wildlife sanctuary so is visited by wild animals like wild dogs, sloth bears, even elephants. Considering this proximity to sanctuary & dam, broad land-use that considers preservation of nature as top priority is planned along with details for plantation, restoration, and beautification in 2008-09.
