wind_chariot says: Was it in wild or you took the pic in some enclosure? I know its 'bear sanctuary' but sometimes animals are kept in big enclosures like cages and people can go inside in cars and they name it 'sanctuary'!!

shahronakm says: Daroji Bear Sanctuary is a proper wild life sanctuary & there are no enclosures. One has to pay Rs. 500 for one time entry of vehicle plus entrance fee is to be paid on per person basis. All the bears roam freely & they are truly wild in nature which is sometimes proved when there is some man - animal conflict. We had to take special permission from the forest department to get close up with the bears & we were hiding in car which was covered with camouflaged cover.
For your information Daroji is the first sloth bear sanctuary in Asia. You can read more details by clicking on this link http://www.karnataka.com/tourism/sanctuary/daroji-slothbear.html
Hope this addresses your concern.
